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. …

That’s bullshit Schumer. Obama really did a lot for us social security guys. No increases to speak of over the last years.

So no war on seniors. It will be a war on the democrats. They suck.

Chuckie hasn’t gotten the message that a LOT of folks have opened their eyes to which side is the real threat and which side says, “Come into my parlor, I’ll protect you...”

Chucky, your party is in shambles. DNC was ripped apart during primaries. Clintons should both be in jail. Bernie is a socialist nut. Obama blames loss on Fox News instead of himself. Pelosi may be voted out today. Need I say more? You rats are out of touch with America.

Obviously, the “War on Women” meme wasn’t very effective, so they will give this one a run.

Is anyone really listening to the rats anymore?

Come to the SF Bay Area. Not only are the snowflakes listening, they've having a collective mental breakdown.

It's like a tragi-comedy out here. It's almost fun living here right now.

Because seniors are so dependent on Planned Parenthood, right?

This one won’t either.

1. It makes no sense at all.

2. Seniors voted for Trump.

3. Politically it’s just plain stupid.

4. Nobody will believe it because it makes the Dems look desperate..............

protect and save their social security and medicare, increase the interest on their savings, provide them better medical care at the VA, lower their insurance premiums by repealing Obamacare.

Oh.. yeah.. I am sure seniors will be up in arms!

wasn’t it Senator Pepper who started all the senior stuff?

Identity politics just hurts America. If the United States as a whole does well so do all classes and identities.

I’m a senior, I’m not afraid for myself, I want my grandchildren to have opportunities, I want the whole country to prosper.

As opposed to the war on White people the Dems were engaged in?
