Trump takes Rand Paul on a golf outing to discuss healthcare
Washington Examiner ^ | 4-2-2017 | Caitlin Yilek

Posted on 04/02/2017 9:43:18 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

President Trump brought Republican Sen. Rand Paul to Trump National Golf Club in Virginia on Sunday to play golf with him, a little more than a week after the party's healthcare bill failed.

"They're discussing a variety of topics, including healthcare," White House deputy press secretary Stephanie Grisham said.

Budget director Mick Mulvaney, a former leading House conservative, also joined the two.

But Trump has been stuck on a faux-repeal horrible bill from the House and trashing the conservatives there.

If someone doesn’t get through to him he’s going to be in trouble.

I agree. I consider Rand Paul to be mostly a conservative.

Trump is probably livid about being told....I got the votes...I got the votes....and then being told....Ooops....I don't have the votes.

Trump is too kind to badger Ryan right now....but we all know...he's already has his day and the party will take care of it.

It's called "the silent treatment".

Good Trump will need Rand to get his health care passed. Rand is a smart guy and a straight shooter, hope Trump can get him on board.

Remember it was Rand Paul who had the workshop on POTUS book. —Art Of The Deal. (Passing out copies to all of the members of the Freedom C. )

I suspect that Paul has been working with POTUS from the beginning!
Remember Scott Adams description of The System he thinks that POTUS is using.

I hope President Trump didn't point out anything at the hotel that needed to be fixed, or cleaned, or straightened.

That would be turned into a huge scandal by the MSM. They'd say he was "still in control of the commercial empire that bears his name."

I don’t see him as “stuck on”

Trump has moved on. This an ongoing negotiation process. Conservatives don’t control trump anymore than Ryan did. Ryan just got blown out. If we are to get anywhere, Ryan needed to be neutralized. Trump gave him enough rope to hang himself. as another Freepers put it: Ryan took the poison hoping that Trump would die.

This glass is more than half full.

Certainly uneasy about Trump partnering with Lyin’ Ryan’s “ObozoCareLite” bill that did NOT repeal and did NOT replace.

Add Trump’s attacks on the HFC who saved America from more Obozocare....and probably saved Trump politically.

I hope Rand Paul can communicate the Truth to Trump and get him back on track - i.e. 1) Repeal and 2) Replace in separate bills.

Trump can begin with supporting Mo Brooks’ 1-page Repeal bill.

Trump is a good man. He wants everyone to win. Anyone ever see Valerie’s man child call Mike Lee or Ted Cruz? Or even Joe Manchin, someone of his own decrepit party?

Are you talking about the Man who called Senator Cruz "Lying Ted" ? the mad who said Senator Cruz' father was involved in Kenedy's fascination on the grassy Knoll ?

Are you talking about the man who is currently demo-

Read Scott Adams article and also Art Of The Deal. Things are not as most people think they are. We will repeal and replace but not by playing by previous congressional standard manipulations, rules or procedures !

One day the the leaders of the D party are going to wake up and say:
“how in the H-— did they do that? “

Be patient. Don’t react and sit back and watch the game.!

Some of Trump’s best one liners of the campaign came at the expense of little Randy

Trump at least can play golf. Obama was a duffer. Trump uses go,f the way business execs use golf to get to know the other person, build a relationship, and get deals done.

We were “that” close to falling into the ObozoCare abyss forever...

But thanks to ONLY the HFC, America was saved...unless Trump wanted some level of Socialist Govt Health Care.

Just pass the Mo Brooks 1-page “REPEAL ONLY” bill and fulfill the campaign promise of REPEAL ObozoCare completely.

It’s not rocket science!
