The shakeup in the White House now allows Trump to pursue his version of swamp clean-up. He is creative and does not like to lose. He wants people who get things done. General Kelly will likely reorient the effort; with a unified message under Scaramucci perhaps the Trump tweets will reinforce the White House policies. After six months of an establishment approach to the swamp under Reince Priebus, a frustrated Trump has decided to put on the heavy breathing gear, go into the swamp and pull down “resistance” swimmers. Trump supporters will see his effort favorably, but the establishment will renew its effort to take him down and maintain their privileged lives
President Trump has tweeted a possible new inducement to gain real negotiations. He threatened to cut off federal subsidies to insurance companies under Obamacare and, perhaps the more serious threat, subsidies for Congress to avoid the true costs of Obamacare. Obama garnered congressional support though executive action in which he allowed Congress an exception to the rules of his mandated healthcare coverage.

OK, That’s reasonable. I didn’t know about Obama, and the EO to Congress.
What has he done? He has abandoned it to Congress.
What has he done? He has abandoned it to Congress.
If Trump keeps swinging the “let’s move on Senate” is in for a rude awakening.
All these RINO wimps were happy to vote for full repeal when they knew 0bama would veto it. Maybe Trump should take to Twitter and muse about vetoing repeal. Then when these RINOs get back in line (because they know it will be vetoed), sign it.
I actually don’t care about Obamacare. Yep, that’s right, I said it, I DON’T CARE ABOUT OBAMACARE. The reality is that there was no way the republicans were going to make it too much better. Lets say they have the votes to repeal. They do not have the votes to replace and make it smaller government your doctor, your plan. Nobody was saying you could have that. So I do not care about it.
I do care about the wall. I do care about the taxes. I do care about the swamp. I do care about judges, big and small. Lets get back on those. The reality is that the people of this country were not going to get too much better off if they got rid of Obamacare and replaced it with something very close to Obamacare.
I don't want it, no way, no how.
ACA desperately needs the 3 Ps. Participants, premiums & providers!
Cancel exemptions for the government, unions & Some industries Obama allowed.
It personally doesn’t affect me either. I just want the government out of health care for the nation. The VA and Medicare work marginally. Is that what the masses really want?
I hope President Trump does exactly that. They should have never gotten exemptions in the first place. What’s good for the goose... and all that.
Exactly, the useless poseurs are only in it for the votes. They have no core principles other than power and perks.
Congress keeps becoming a greater embarrassment as the Trump Train roars through the abandoned station once known as the U.S. Congress.
Once the Senate folded, Trump has all the good cards, thus the leverage. He has the will of the people, the courage of his conviction and the knowledge of the corruption inside the system, both government and business.
Now the Senate is sitting on their hands with a cancelled August recess, with supposedly nothing to do, and Trump is demanding them to get back to work. I just love it.
Actually Trump holds even more leverage now, because he has pulled the bandage off of the infection.
Their feeble effort of Repeal while Obama was in office shows their total lack of courage and conviction.
If the public only knew how much money was flowing into congress critter's pockets from lobbyists, they would be marching with pitchforks.
Never-give-up is a way of life, not a "strategy."
