You can bet that their “fix” will include hundreds of billions of more taxpayer money.

Lamar! To consider how pathetic the competition was against Bob Dole to take on Bill Clinton 21 years ago, remember him and his red flannel shirts. Sad!

Well well.

“We’re not backing down MISTER Trump.”

Quiet huddle: “Guys, we better do something and quick!”

BS. They want to hold hearings and drag this out. Death by a thousand cuts.

...and here we go. Republicans will give in to the hard-nosed dems because they don’t want to be labelled obstructionists again, even though obstruction is exactly what the dems did, and didn’t even blink.

It is amazing the power that the negative reporting of the press has on Republicans. They are so influenced by the fear of negative reporting...too bad they don’t learn to thrive on it.

I don’t see a two-third override to tag team Trump. Nope, this is a good sign.

Fake news. My only problem is that some Republicans want to pour billions to repair Obamacare.

“fix Obamacare” = “open up the subsidy spigots”

We almost got rid of him last election but got elected due to the gopE, rinos and dems crossing over to vote for him. Next time we will get him out

Trumps needs to issue an EO taking away Congress’s Obamacare subsidies. That’s the only way to get it repealed. Make the pigs who voted for it use it.

Know how to solve that little problem?

Find DINOs to run in ‘Rat primaries.

Until then we’re fighting half a battle.

The uniparty is alive - there was never an intention to repeal Ocare.

Trump needs to create Public service announcements that show the problems with Ocare (the same as Zero did with pajama boy), and a message from the oval office would be powerful.
