I am very worried about Trump...

Repeal = 60 votes.

Pass bill, defund Obamacare in reconciliation = 51 votes.

Give me a break. To hold Trump accountable is not being a concern troll. Democrat voters never held 0bama accountable and accepted all his broken promises.

All I am saying if Trump is on board with RyanCare, he is betraying the coalition that elected him. Supporting a plan with an indvidual mandate with higher penalties is not what his voters had in mind nor is what Trump promised.

If Trump breaks his promises, nothing wrong with holding him accountable at all.

Matt 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
Mat 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see
Matt 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

As soon as I see verse 5 happen, I will quit worrying.

I agree. Those who say “just repeal it” forget that Trump made a specific promise that nobody was going to lose their coverage in the process. There are tens of millions who are now, through no fault of their own dependent on Obamacare. Just saying “what did they have before?” is not an answer. Maybe they had coverage through jobs they lost. Maybe they now have “preexisting conditions” they didn’t have before. A lot of those people are people who never voted for a Republican until Trump, because they believed the GOP only cares about the rich. Dump them from coverage with nothing to replace it and it will be the last time they vote for one.

Funny how Trump doesn’t need to keep promise that “everyone will be taken care of” as far as some are concerned. Some promises are more important than others I guess. People need to realize that whatever happens now, even if nothing is done is on the Republicans and Trump because they are in control. It doesn’t matter if no Republicans voted for Obamacare, whatever happens next they own it.

Oh! Thomas!

Not Thomas, John, waiting to have head chopped off and no one is reporting back to me all those marvelous things in verse 5. Surely you aren't trying to convince me that those things are happening are you?

Trump is likely the last great hope for the Republic and it pains me that that Scum Ryan is apparently leading Trump down a primrose path.

I have hope....

Hope that is seen is not hope,
for what a man doth see
why does he yet hope.

This makes me sick. Is Trump that taken in by the likes of Ryan and Pence—when we know he has, for example, been meeting with Cruz on it—to actually believe that they can’t pass full repeal and whatever replace they want in reconciliation? Or, is he joining in with their big lie knowingly?

Whatever dude. Keep on drinking the “Trump can never be wrong” Kool Aid.

Just explain to me without cat pictures how you could oppose 0bamaCare but on board with RyanCare? It offers no solutions and double downs on the individual mandate and the penalties we face.

I for one will hold the Presdient accountable. If he gets on board with this with this, then he loses my support, along with most of his base. One of the main reasons he was elected was to repeal 0bamaCare, not replace it with another GOP crap sandwich.

If President Trump is ever wrong, we can discuss it, but until that happens just relax, and watch the master work. ;-)

Maybe they will go back to the 2015 Obamacare defunding bill, with appropriate date changes, as Phase I. I don’t know, but it was clear that President Trump was giving Paul Ryan enough rope to hang himself, and it is looking more and more like that is going to happen.

What would you think if Obamacare got defunded, and Paul Ryan lost the Speakership because he couldn’t deliver?

I think you will find that I said 5 or 6 years ago that ObamaCare would become law and the Supremes would OK it and once in place it would never go away. Do you see anything that makes you think it will go away now? No because it was never about healthcare and most of the UniParty is in favor it.

Obama Gave me $2,500.00 and these clowns only want to give me $300.00 and take my free healthcare away.

I am not going to defend Trump, not now, not in the future. I believe Ryan is a man of his word, at least where this is concerned.

If they drift too far to the right, say hello to the return of Speaker Pelosi. The 20 million people who will lose their coverage are going to be pissed. They will take out their anger at the polls. One does not have to guess who they vote for.
