Just ask for a straight vote for a full repeal of Obamacare with no mention of replacing it. Then when it fails to pass, Republicans, including Trump, should put the blame squarely on the Democrats.

Then move on to the tax cuts.


You are dreaming. If people in Iowa or wherever lose their meds due to obamacare collapsing they are not going to blame the Dems. They are rightfully going to blame the GOP since they hold both Congress & the WH.

With regard to Obamacare Republicans have only three alternatives:

1) Repeal it

2) Attempt to repeal it but fail

3) Leave it alone and try to blame Democrats when it fails.

In any case, Obamacare will be gone and Republicans, who nominally control congress, will have to share the blame, rightly or wrongly.

My position is that since the blame is going to get spread around regardless, why not simply do the right thing?

What is the right thing? The right thing for health care is the right thing for any aspect of life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness: return to the founding principles of a limited government that protects individual freedom.

The federal government has grown to a monstrous size, a thousand times that intended and agreed upon by the founders when the constitution was ratified.

As such, instead of protecting its citizens from tyranny, it provides the mechanism for tyranny through redistributive schemes which replace free enterprise with cronyism.

Repeal this socialist POS and don’t replace it with anything federal. Accept the political consequences for doing the right thing.
