During the presidential campaign, Republican Donald Trump said he would not cut Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, but no matter.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, the next Senate minority leader, on Tuesday warned that Republicans are “plotting a war on seniors.”

The New York Democrat said he was “so disappointed” that Trump has nominated Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) to be his Health and Human Services secretary. “When it comes to issues like Medicare, the Affordable Care Act and Planned Parenthood, Congressman Price and the average American couldn’t be further apart,” Schumer told a news conference on Capitol Hill. …

The democrats have over-used the race card and sex card with little effect recently. So now they are back to the tried and true “Scare Granny” Card. They haven’t really pulled that one with any fervor since the Gingrich years where we heard constant stories about Republicans wanting to make Granny eat cat food

Is anyone really listening to the rats anymore?

Why should they? They're a regional party now. They'll be even less relevant once Trump starts Making America Great Again!

So says the f#%&er who voted in favor of the Obamacare bill that included $500+ billion in Medicare cuts over ten years.

Same old playbook. History shows it is the RATs that lay with SS and Medicare. Pure projection from Chuckie.

Here we go again.

Of course, Trump, more than most Republicans, wants to preserve some entitlements. So I doubt this will get much traction outside of the most biddable types.

The Democratic party has been waging a War on White People for some time—especially straight, White males. Not to mention their War on Religion & Families.

There is already a war on Seniors and the Obamacare is the vehicle to cut the Seniors with a thousand cuts. I am two years out from 65 and insurance is over $1100 a month destroying my ability to save for retirement.

Stale and old - guess the Dems have NO new ideas. The Party really is self-destructing.

They’ve been asking for it for quite some time now. Let’s give them more than they can enjoy.

The first annual meeting to completely destroy one whole voting block of people will take place in Chuck Schumer’s back yard in January.

Please be prepared to discuss creative ways to make sure that senior citizens will never vote for us again.

Note to Chuckie: My bet is your gonna find it harder to bamboozle newer, healthier, savvier generations of senior citizens. The ones I know aren’t falling for the same kind of cr@p their that elders do/did.
