Scramble away cockroaches.
Ideally in your party you would want the President of the United States, the Mayor of Crazytown and the village idiot to be three separate people, no?
“…Trump’s bounce from the end of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe…”
The bounce turned into the plunge.
Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, a former health care executive.
Who better to lead a GOP strategy session than the man who led the “largest health care fraud in U.S. History.”
The International Cockroach Anti-Defamation Society (ICADS) would appreciate your not using such a horrific and demeaning comparison.
McConnell disappointed that he can’t attack Democrats as “Medicare for None.” I suspect that after the GND utter waste of time debacle in the Senate, Mitch’s “attacks” might be getting thinner. Now if only those rich Republicans who couldn’t care less about anything except their portfolios could gain an iota of a conscience and not vote for an ignoramus. I know, I’m dreaming.
You can’t beat an actual plan with no plan. And even worse for Republicans, if they ever introduce an actual plan (which they won’t), it’ll get picked apart and destroyed because let’s face it, Republicans hate the very idea of health insurance.
After ten years of this Kabuki theater, if Republicans were ever going to have a plan, we would have seen it by now. Which means Democrats own the healthcare issue from top to bottom, and all Republicans can do and will do is snipe at it. I’m willing to bet Americans are tired of of a Party bereft of ideas bringing only negativity to the table and no solutions to a major problem in the lives of many Americans.
By the way, I would LOVE it if Trump bringing back the healthcare issue leads to Mitch’s (and Trump’s) demise in their respective 2020 races. I suspect Senator McCain and Barbara Bush would laugh their asses off.
And I suppose you have to credit Obama and Pelosi for putting Republicans in this bind. There’s no way out for them.
No one would be happier than me if the Republicans gave us a healthcare plan that was better than the ACA. But being a person of sound mind and understanding that the goals of the GOP are not compatible with “giving” anything to anyone besides rewards to their wealthy and corporate donors, call me skeptical.
When Trump says “You can’t believe” - as in “You can’t believe what my investigators are finding in Hawaii” or “You can’t believe how great the healthcare plan I am proposing is going to be” we should always take him at his word and not believe him.
Don’t fear, the GOP has the anti-vaccine folks to back them up on all things doctory…
As Josh stated with regards to the Mueller Report, the best day for Trump was going to be the first day. Could it be the Report is actually so devastating to him, he’d rather talk about healthcare?? That can’t be right, can it?
Failing to repeal and replace the ACA, otherwise known as Obamacare, is one of the biggest shortcomings of the president’s first term.
I like to think of it as a success.
“The Republican Party will soon be known as the party of health care,” he said on Capitol Hill. “You watch!”

Typical of the GOP these days: no plan to address what people need, just more posturing and grifting. They controlled both houses of congress and the presidency and didn’t do anything useful, and now they want us to believe they will eventually get around to doing something responsible. Oh, and they plan to kill the ACA so that the slate is clean for anything they want to do that will be “better”.
This is a fight that we can win.
