We don’t know if we get those additional seats. Some of them will depend on how well the Republicans delivered on Trump’s promises. This is a big one.
We have to act on it > IMO.
I understand your point though, and it isn’t an unreasoned one. I do think we’re under the gun here though.
There’s on aspect of this bill that alone would kill it for me.
Ryan once again proposes we shove the full impact of the new plan way off into the future.
Why do that, unless you don’t want to face the music?
That aspect of Obamacare stunk to high heavens, and it does under Ryancare as well.
I would tend to agree with you that we wouldn’t know and be lucky to pick up more R. Senate seats in 18, if this was one of our usual Republican presidents. However, I believe the odds are in our favor by 60% or more to pick up 4 to 8 seats since the Dems have many - 24 or 25 seats to defend. And I’m fairly certain Trump will be running the mid-term elections almost like he was running his presidential campaign. I expect he will be in campaign mode from Sept to Nov 2018 working for senate candidates in many states.
Well Trump is giving it the college try by acting on his campaign promise to overturn Obamacare. will see not too long from now what happens good and bad. I also expect Trump every year from now on will be pushing for improvements to the health care if not up to snuff. And mostly, if not all on the conservative side of the health care ledger. It won’t be one year and done. No, not with Trump that some NeverTrumpers may think like Deace here likely does.
