āTrump Has āMet With Individualsā About Health Care Bill Strategyā
In other words he ignored a question about it while on the Golf Course with a Pharma CEO.
More likely he met with Ivanka and Jared. Maybe Stephen Miller.
This White House does not get the concept of letting bad news die.
Trump never lets go of anything.
Or maybe Repuglicans really believe they can talk the ACA to death and replace it with more talk.
I other news, heās bombing the shit out of āthem,ā as promised.
More meetings with āindividualsā

Who?. If itās all above board, you wonāt mind telling us.
This situation is intolerable and unsustainable.
As John Boehner has pointed out, Republicans have never agreed on healthcare policy and have never come up with a bill, and almost zero chance they will now.
So, go ahead, keep talking about it. Cause itās such a winning issue for you.
If it is all above board why did the source go through Nunes? The source was at the same location as the president - why not go directly to Trump with this evidence?
This makes no sense and never has.
Trump: I will tweet ObamaCare repeal in my 3AM tweet from Mar-A-Lago this weekend. I will be working.
Horrible that this is happening, and Trumpās green light is the primary cause.
Or perhaps the secondary one. Sadly, I suspect this is Mattisās strategy more than Trumpās. Itās pretty obvious Trump himself is devoid of ideas (and/or the capacity for ideation). So he just bumbles around in a world of other peopleās ideas and thinks heās a king for getting to pick.
of a lot of individuals on both sides of the aisle reaching out to both
the President and key staff members to share ideas and additional ways
forward
Who?
When the hell is this going to get the attention it deserves? Seriously, where is a Democrat screaming a la Trey Gowdy?
āI think there is a discussion that began, as I mentioned yesterday, of a lot of individuals on both sides of the aisle reaching out to both the President and key staff members to share ideas and additional ways forward. So there has been a discussion and I believe there will be several more."
āIām not saying weāve picked a strategy and weāre going to go with this group or that group,ā Spicer responded. āSeveral people reached out and expressed an interest and the Presidentās view is that heās willing to listen to them and hear what their ideas are.ā
to be continued or concluded in 2019
Your boss quit on the bill, Old Spice. Itās over. He spent the weekend coordinating body-slams of Paul Ryan via some Fox News hag.
It. Is. Over.
Hey guys, cheer up! Like Middle East peace, the opioid-addiction crisis, industrial-revival policy, the entire foreign policy of the US, building the WALL, transforming/reimagining all veteransā services, plus tax reform; all of these are now in the AMAZING!, REALLY, REALLY TREMENDOUS! hands of my most beloved and wisest advisor, Jared.
BTW: Heās also in charge of "transforming all data collection and information processing systems for each and every department, agency, and even vaguely connected-entity of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
Yes, my fellow citizens, we can sleep easy, knowing we are safely entrusted to the hands that at least occasionally stroke Ivanka to sleep.
And tonight, heāll read the best-case-ever for post-birth abortion a story about just how good it feels.
Jebus I hope Donald doesnāt fuck things up as bad as Bush but how could heās not, he not only dumber than Bush, the folks surrounding him are dumber than Bushās folks!
Later, Spicer seemed to caution states like Kansas, whose legislature voted Tuesday to expand Medicaid under the parameters established by Obamacare. Spicer said that expansion, for which the Republican bill would have eliminated funding, was āleading to an explosion.ā
Iām wondering if this is the big issue per the WaPo article today that a number of R states are considering it.
- It makes it harder to get Rs to take something back from more of their own constituents.
- What impact might that have on the ability to cut taxes (if not this round then in the fuure) since the cuts arenāt supposed to impact the existing budget base line.
If Rs are actually covering the poors it gets harder to provide the desperately needed help to the deserving wealthy. Yes? No?
Is he extending an olive branch to Democrats?
He wants a win. The Republicans donāt seem able to deliver a win, but a corrections bill that fixes the obvious problems with the ACA would give him a giant win.
I would love to see coverage expanded. At a minimum I would hate to see any coverage.
Heās extending the same poison apple he offers everybody: Hey, weāll make a great deal, except I get all the credit (and money) plus Iāll then excoriate you publically!
At least 22 Republicans in the House want people to have health insurance.
At least 22 Republicans in the House do not want people to have health insurance.
Thereās your impasse. I donāt see that going away.
