Ryan foresees 'bloodbath' if GOP fails to pass healthcare legislation
The Hill ^ | March 12, 2017 | Mallory Shelbourne

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Sunday said he agrees with President Trump that 2018 will be a "bloodbath" for Republicans if Congress does not pass legislation repealing and replacing ObamaCare.

“I do believe that if we don't keep our word to the people who sent us here, yeah,” Ryan told CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” when asked if he agreed with Trump’s reported comments about the 2018 midterm elections.

Jim Robinson's letter:

Dear Mr. President: Do NOT under any circumstances endorse or sign RYANcare - it will destroy you
March 11, 2017 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 3/11/2017, 5:57:08 PM by Jim Robinson

Dear Mr. President:

Do NOT under any circumstances endorse or sign RYANcare. RYANcare will immediately become TRUMPcare and that will destroy your credibility and your presidency.

Ryan and the globalist big government GOPe hates you and what you ran on just as much as the democrats and the media. The day you sign TRUMPcare, you own it and they own you. You will be the GOPe's prison bitch. You will also lose your support base and then your tax plan and other trade and economic plans go up in smoke.

Do not settle for anything less than full and complete repeal. If you can't get that from congress, then veto whatever they send up (rinse and repeat as necessary) and if they fail eventually to send up a clean repeal bill then sign nothing and let Obamacare implode on its own.

The crap about 60 votes is crap indeed. They control the senate and the rules. No excuses! This is totally in Republican hands.

If they override your veto, then they own the disaster that follows and you will still have your credibility and your support base. And we are prepared to fight these evil socialist bastards until hell freezes over if necessary.

What happens to the millions of poor people if they lose their health insurance? Well, how did they manage to get health care before Obama? What happened to the millions of people who lost their health care when Obamacare was installed? What happened to the millions who lost their jobs due to Obamacare? What's happening to our economy and our national debt as a result of socialist programs? What happens to our people when the government finally goes bust?

Look, the media, the democrats, the GOPe, the globalists, the corporatists, the crony capitalists, the socialists, the illegals, the Mohammedists, etc, are all going to hate you no matter what you do. Do not under any circumstances blink, retreat or cave-in to their socialist demands. That would be the end of your moral authority and the resulting continuation of unchecked big government will lead to the ultimate collapse of our economy.

Worst case, if the current socialist government/crony capitalist corporate healthcare insurance industry implodes, we will still survive as a free nation and free people. We have faith in God, our constitution, our free markets and our ability to overcome major obstacles. We shall overcome and persevere.

If we slay the federal behemoth and get back to free markets, we will find that government costs will come down, the economy will soar, healthcare costs will come down, federal tax rates can come down, and as more companies are profiting and more people are working, federal and state tax receipts will actually increase. And truly destitute people who cannot provide for themselves can be supported by local and state programs as intended.

Hold the line. America will love you for it in the long run.

REPEAL ALL OF OBAMACARE-IT IS UNFIXABLE--THIS IS WHAT YOU PROMISED AND WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT...A TOTAL REPEAL OF OBAMACARE.

What Ryan doesn’t seem to comprehend is that it’s going to be a bloodbath if he crams the WRONG healthcare legislation down the throats of the Freedom Caucus & the American people. We’re sick of Obamacare & we’re ANGRY .... the Repubs made promises and they need to keep them and that means REPEAL the crap & if you’re replacing, government needs to stay the hell out of my healthcare.

It will be a “bloodbath” for Ryan’s corporate donors if they don’t get this bill passed.

Ryan and his GOP cronies are ONLY concerned with their OWN political future and monetary gain, not the future and well being of America.

THROW THE BUMS OUT!!!

Ryan is a skunk and cant be trusted, and McConnell is a rat bastard hiding in the wings. Hopefully Trump is once again playing his hand and letting them hang themselves and then he throws them out once and for all.

I don’t think voters sent Trump to the White House to change the wording in Obamacare and call it repeal. I still trust Trump will do the right thing, but I think the people filling airplane hangers if he doesn’t make this bill at least partially shut down or provide relief from Obamacare, will be carrying pitch forks.

Bloodbath in 2018? Voters will be so outraged at Republicans for not repealing Obamacare that they will vote in democrats who will double down on Obamacare?

If Obamacare is not repealed, there should be a bloodbath in 2018, but it should be the replacement of Republicans who would not repeal Obamacare with Republicans who will.

President Trump has a contract with America — not Ryan. Full repeal and replace. Build the wall. Cut taxes and regulations. SCOTUS selections in the spirit if Scalia. Rebuild our military.

Do not breach the contract.

Paul Ryan wants to undue Trump’s presidency. He wants to go back to being the minority party so he doesn’t have to make decisions and can whine and complain about not having the votes. Then by not aggrevate g anyone he can go on collecting campaign contributions without worrying about challenges. Trump needs to manipulate Ryan, McCain, Graham and a few others out of office aND replace them with princpiled conservatives. Rand Paul is right about Obamacare.

This is just so the globalist can get Trump to put his signature on it. This legislation is also going to fail and it is there way to hurt the president. These people want big government but don’t want to take the blame.

It is indeed very simple - The People who elected The Donald wont Obamacare REPEALED.

The People who Elected the Donald NEED to put Pressure on The Donald, and The Donald needs to DEAL with the Republican House and Senate

If the Donald needs to attend Obamacare REPEAL RALLIES in various States than he better get after it

Healthcare monopolies and price fixing will bankrupt the Federal Government in 8 years regardless of of what is done with Obamacare.

Everybody please lay off Ryan.

He’s correct for a change. There will be a bloodbath.

I’ll vote to primary any Republican that votes for it.

Especially the doosh Senator of our state, Gardner.

The Trumpets on here re in a little bit of a quandary. They can’t start calling Jim Robinson a troll on his own website. Trump is on board with this plan, but they keep telling us Trump is playing 5d chess on 5 different spatial planes at once.

I suspect most of the people filling those airplane hangers are perfectly fine with Obamacare’s core provisions. They just want Lamborghini health care at a Ford price. There’s no fixing delusion. I’m sure Ryan knows this well.
