House Republican leaders have postponed a vote on their health care bill in a setback for President Donald Trump and Speaker Paul Ryan.
How can one political party, who enjoy's majority control of both houses of Congress fail to get this passed?? They've had 7+ years to plan this, and still they can't agree on what to do. Who are they going to blame now, the media? What a bunch of idiots!

It's because Reps only focused on repeal, not "replace". It wasn't until Trump's term, when the possibility of repeal was real, that it dawned on them that those already covered would have a problem with losing health insurance, making Reps look awful.
They also kept pushing the narrative that the Affordable Care Act was a massive failure---a "disaster" as Trump calls it---for most of the last ten years, and thus, didn't account for its success in covering over 20 million people.

Originally posted by EladarI'm sure these "principled Republicans" will also publicly declare they want to repeal Medicare so that they stop "sending government dollars to insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies."

Originally posted by KazetNagorraThe RINO's are like lazy out of shape ball players who don't really want to get off the bench they've been riding for eight years and play the game. The Tea Partiers are scrappier, ready and eager to play. And then you have Trump being Trump, just trying to lie, bully and BS his way through it all. This is amazing theater. Hope we don't have a war.

Lovin' it.

So I assume you mean either: A) A bigger war or B) A really, really bigger war i.e. WWIII.

Minutes ago this tidbit:
UPDATE: 7:42 p.m.: President Donald Trump is demanding a vote Friday in the House on the Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said. If the bill fails, Trump is prepared to move on and leave Obamacare in place, Mulvaney said.

An interesting gambit from the Donald. Will the Freedom boys fold?
