Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York is threatening political payback if congressional Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump try to undo President Barack Obama’s major legislative achievements.
“They will rue the day” they repeal Obama’s health care law, Senate Democrats’ leader-in-waiting told The Associated Press in an interview in his office on Friday. “It’s a political nightmare for them. They’ll be like the dog that caught the bus.”
Trump, after meeting with Obama, said he’d like to keep popular pieces of the six-year-old law, including the requirement to extend coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and the provision allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ health plans until age 26.

It is gonna happen, Chuck. Get used to it.
Ooooh, I’m sure Trump is shaking in his boots!!!
Upchuck should be focusing on something that is more important to his constituency: his blood relative amy choomer got into a spat with Taylor Swift, and it was so bad, amy needed to aologize. Get to work on that instead, upchuck, you’re shallow voters think that matter is more pressing.
Sound like he intends to Filibuster everything!
Schumer, I wouldn't go around threatening anyone in any form or fashion. Not a good idea.
I hope he goes to jail too.
Chuckie’s concern for the well being of Republicans is touching.
His head handed to him?
along with his ‘plugs’?, wonder if Joe Biden recommended him to get those...and isn't it funny, that these guys get ‘plugs’ just on TOP of the head and they still have the huge prominent bald spot in the back...(check Joe and Chuckie, rear view out!!)
Guess the boys only like the front view when they look at them selves...
JUST TOO FUNNY...
Oh, my opinion..
Hey, Chuck. There’s a new sheriff in town. You’re the minority party. Deal with it. You don’t intimidate us any more.
Trump needs to serve notice to Chucky that he and his ilk are about to be “steamrollered”.
Like Obamacare was not america destroying retaliation itself. Screw their bipartisan calls while they stab us with Sorros activisl in ge back
Democrats have been seething in immature threats from the very beginnings of their spoiled slavery plantation brat activities
Perhaps the Dims are so angry about Her Thighness’ loss because she was the last one in line - they know they don’t have anyone else to challenge the Pubbies! Hence the threats of scorched earth.
Ironic given that Schooner himself looks like a dog that’s been chasing parked cars.
Trump will play Chuckles like a fiddle.
LOL! Chucky trying to act as if he still holds a vestige of clout....they have finally met their match and still haven’t figured it out.
Btw. Schumer won back his senate seat 70% to 27%. Trump picked up near 40% in NY. So votes were split here IN the PRNY. I am ashamed of ny. I would leave if not for the wife’s need to stay here for some reason
The democrats in the senate will block legislative atttempts to fix Obmacare. The system will collapse and they will try to blame it on the GOP.
Go away commie.
