Dismantling the 0bamacare insurance scam is paramount. No tax reform until the dismantling has begun.

There will be more steps to totally dismantle it but it has to start.

The animus toward Congress is not rubbing off on Trump ,.. people see him trying to do the right thing but being thwarted by Congress of _his own party_.

That leads to Trump involving himself in primaries... >>>>>>> Thus, anyone who cannot bring themselves to vote for the health care bill that is presented to them should be primaried. <<<<<

I’d love to see Trump work against the most RINO of all critters!!!

The Republicans can get get the lead out regardless of the tweets. And Trump has been forced to tweet in his defense when Republicans in Congress refuse to defend him — even though they lots of heavy weaponry.

What we really need is for someone in authority on their side to come right out and say that Obamacare is a total failure and disaster and needs to be corrected. They refuse to do that. Consequently anything we do will be pointed out as THE reason for the failure. You have to hit liberals in the head with a 2x4 to get their attention and out of their sick mindset first. Right now the blame for the failure lays at the Democrats. Let it stay there.

But why do people like Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) step in front of a microphone and say, “I’m not a fan of the daily tweets.”

What a dolt. No one is forcing him to follow the President's tweets.

Personally, I love the tweets. They are much more direct, honest, and entertaining than press conferences, and if the President mentions something I do not know about, I can look it up without a dishonest press filter.

The “Replace” part of “Repeal and Replace” is just plain unconstitutional. I fully understand why a constitutionally knowledgeable, patriotic Congressman would never vote for the “Replace” part.

Repeal and do away with gov’t intrusion into people’s personal healthcare altogether. Encourage doctors and hospitals to create private cash only payment plans that only involve citizens and their healthcare providers. Wouldn’t Big Gov’t lovers and Insurance Inflate-the-Charges scam artists howl from here to the moon. But that is the way it used to be, and it worked well enough. Private charities helped as well.

Practically speaking, I realize that is not going to happen in today’s socialized society. So the argument comes down to “how much unconstitutional law” will be approved.

I'm not holding my breath.

The repubs will most likely fumble this opportunity just like they have done many times before.

The repercussions in 18 and 20 could be massive. Conservative voters won't vote for the dems but will most likely stay home.

The ball is in their court and they had better do something with it.

The sleeper cell in the repub party needs to be purged in 18 and 20.

I am about done with Republicans in both House and Senate. If within a few months the Health Care bill and the Tax bill have not been passed, the party is done.

I think it is partly sour grapes and partly denial. McConnell is part of the RNC establishment that feels at home being the minority party.

Trump won based primarily on two issues: Immigration and he responded forcefully to Dem mud slinging, refusing to grant them control of the discussion. I may not be a fan of Trump’s Tweets, but it will take a lot more than sloppy facts and worse spelling to make me tun my back on him. If his tweets are part of his being a fighter, so be it.

The RINOs are doing what they do best - kick the can down the road and ensuring that the disastrous policies of the Dims stay in force...

And they all hate him for it...the propagandists and the career politicians...the two kinds of professional liars.

Thank you! You are absolutely correct on this. We don’t need a so called replace. Repeal or I’ll vote for your ouster. We don’t want or need Republican Obama care light. To the Government, get the hell out of my insurance, get the hell out of my pockets and quite frankly just get the hell out of my life

Thank YOU! I wonder how much worse it will have to get before this ever becomes reality. We’re so past due!
