Exactly, how many times did the repeal bill passed? it ended up on Obama’s desk with eventual veto of course. So now, why isn’t there just a repeal bill sitting on Trump’s desk? is this just a kabuki show? IF they were going to pass this shit sandwich and fix it later. Why can’t they just pass the repeal and fix the replacement later? That has a better chance of passing as we can see from history.

Please put down the matches.
