I think he should walk away from this issue, and move onto something really important.
Like global trade.
Just saying.
Maybe he’s getting ready to walk because he knows it sucks.
Ultimatums are not how you do deals.
I call BS on this.
Good.
Move on.
The attendants of Fedzilla in Congress have never had any intention of repealing Obamacare and reducing the power Fedzilla derives from Obamacare, not one federal agency created by Obamacare would be removed by Ryancare. All medical records would still be collected by Fedzilla under Ryancare.
I say move on.
Let’s wait until Paul Ryan can be crippled.
We don’t need the government in our health care.
Options:
1) The Houses actually passes RyanCare in whatever its current state is — GOPe gets what it wants, but the Senate probably kills it. Trump won’t be sad.
2) The House fails to pass anything. The US suffers while ObamaCare implodes. Trump is the winner and can tell everyone he really, really wanted to replace it. The GOPe, however, cannot say the same. Trump won’t be sad.
I see no likely downside for the President. He will move on and do other great things. Later, after the implosion, he will come back to this issue and say, “We tried your way, now let’s try the marketplace ...”
May be best to let it crash. Make the demos fix it. Let them wear this around their necks. If they cannot come up with a plan, then it’s time to push the issue and for republicans to take over.
Very interesting...
Mr. President! MOVE ON!
I don’t blame him. He’s invested too much capital - not to mention time, blood, sweat, etc. He knows when to walk away from a losing hand and he should let Ryan and the party take the blame.
Please, Mr. President, move on to tax cuts! We’ll find out real quick if the GOP is with him or against him and can vote traitors out of office next election, if they sill have a chance of holding on to the majority.
Ask yourselves, what are they the majority party of exactly? It certainly doesn’t look like they want to follow what the people voted for!!!
Obama are will fall on its own weight. Si be it. The Democrats own it.
Don’t trust Ryan ,he’s a Weasel
So much for posting from a bar.
STOP RINOCARE!! REPEAL ONLY!! Kill the socialism. Why would I pay for your insurance premium? Go to the ER or get a damned JOB!!~
He needs to call them all out on the fact that they are exempt from the disastrous ZeroCare.
If he has a way to do it then he should force them all onto a ZeroCare plan immediately.
People who think Paul Ryan and his ilk are going to get over on President Trump—and patriots like Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, and the rest of this Revolutionary team—simply don't understand what happened on November 8, 2016, and they still aren't giving President Trump credit for the man that he is...
The very first rule of negotiating is willing to walk away and not look back. That is the strongest position to have.
In any case, Trump has already won this round and will get what he wants.
“the embattled package crafted by House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.).”
Therein lies the problem. ObummerCare can’t be turned into something good with a few tweaks. It should be killed and replaced with a private market approach.
It’s not worth passing a bad bill just to say “we passed it.” we’ve had too much of that already.
Signaling Ryan to deal, or else.
Can you hear me now?
Repeal and replace!
Ryan failed to do much of either.
