Discussion: Trump Ally Says GOP Health Care Bill Has Room For Negotiation On Purpose

Aside from being total BS, does she think that broadcasting Trump’s ‘negotiating strategy’ makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy about getting screwed? Let insurance coverage for more money so the BILLIONAIRES get a tax break? Really?

If John Wayne Gacy was alive CNN would have him on to talk about the importance of clown vetting for your kid’s birthday party.

Let’s be clear: he doesn’t give a hoot what’s in the bill at all. As long as SOMETHING passes, he can go out and claim he’s the most productive ever. To hell with all the people kicked off their insurance; what, did they think this was about THEM or something?

She cited the bill’s omission of a provision to sell insurance across state lines, something Trump promised on Tuesday would come in “phase 2 & 3.”

“Why wasn’t that put in there? President Trump has said that repeatedly on the campaign trail,” McEnany said. “It wasn’t put in there because President Trump plans on offering that as a gift to conservatives along with negotiating for prescription drug pricing.”

I swear I read this thing a few times and I still don’t understand what the actual strategy is. This statement (along with the rest of it) makes no sense - he’s going to bring up buying ins. across state lines as some sort of “gift”??? He has ZERO interest in lowering drug prices and even if he did, he has no idea how to go about doing it.

This is BS of the first order. Why do the cable networks keep booking these nitwits?

Yeah, that really holds water. That also explains why they hid from view, and why they are trying to ram it through before the CBO looks at it. Criminelly.

(Also: What’s the deal with another Ivanka-lookalike??)

Highly inappropriate for International Women’s Day, but she looks to be all of about 25. What’s her educational background? Is she in any way qualified to speak to the issue?

Someone who doesn’t understand negotiating, doesn’t know tRump, and doesn’t know what the GOP members of Congress that drafted the bill (ie- tRump didn’t write it) THINKS she knows what’s happening here. For some reason, that just doesn’t sink in, but okay, let’s pretend she knows what the hell she’s talking about for a picosecond- what is tRump expecting the Freedumb Caucus to give up? Jesus, why does the media allow these know-nothings on air??

How perfectly color-appropriate, Kayleigh. So darn cute and clever, you!

She has long hair and a sleeveless dress; that is now the uniform for women who supposedly have expert advice and are “professional”.

They do, don’t they. And with a straight face. How the frig does she know what it is she’s saying? Did she talk directly wit The Donald? Is the other blonde out of the inner loop now? How do they get away with this?

She is a useless hack and it serves no purpose being paid any attention to. Best to not have her at TPM.

Any ‘negotiation’ to win hardliners in the House will make the resulting bill even less palatable to nervous GOP senators.

@corncaucus2008 At this point I think he’ll be fine with nothing passing because he’s still got the ace in the hole of shifting the blame to Paul Ryan. It’ll make Bannon quite happy, too.

Sigh, more lies and obfuscation from the Trump “Mighty Wurlitzer.” Who actually believes this crap, other than the “sheeple”??
