He has already done that. He held a victory beer party at the White House when the House passed Repeal 1.0. He said he would sign the Senate’s skinny repeal bill. He said he would sign Graham-Cassidy. He’ll sign anything that he can call a victory.
See Alabama, Strange-Moore primary.
Ergo, nothing reasonable will get done so long as we have a GOP Congress and Dolt-in-Chief.
As I recall,Trump has announced in past that he expects the democrats to “come begging” to him to do an O-Care fix after he cheerfully starves the life out of it. Instead, Trump calls Schumer, who (good on him!) promptly tells him to pound sand.
Starving Obama Care is a vicious, ugly, and all too typical Trump tactic and it is just tough to fathom that Trump somehow thinks that he and this party won’t be saddled with blame for the damage he’s causing.
Reagan had a “teflon suit” that somehow allowed him to dodge blame for his stupidities, whereas Trump just has a teflon conscience.
Hey Chuck, how about you and few people from Congress get on a plane and fly to Puerto Rico and check to see if Trump is telling th truth. There are reports that the roads are clear and yet FEMA is reporting roads are not. FEMA reports that they went to a certain city 3 times which is true, but they didn’t take food or water they took pen in hand to help with claims. People are dying. We want the truth and WE DO NOT TRYST DONALD TRUMP. He lies all the time.
He says he wants to work with Democrats for a great health plan AND yet they let 'CHIPS expire, this is
expire. Men get their Viagra paid for thru insurance and TRUMP’S executive order just repealed birth control insurance coverage. PEOPLE ARE DYING IN PUERTO RICO after TRUMPS claim that everyone is being taken care of. HE IS A LIAR.
Donald Trump wants it both ways, he talks with a forked tongue.
Trump getting bad press from states that are complaining that he is blocking their stabilization plans like re-insurance. Independent groups will push for O-Care enrollment. I think we’ll get reasonably decent enrollment numbers despite all the interference. I dare the GOP to repeal O-Care in 2018. However, their campaign is pretty clear: sabotage and blame failure on O-Care instead of themselves. That’s where the Dems will have to fight them hard.
This is fantastic, Trump is doing exactly the right thing.
It’s just a desperate move in his failing attempts to be relevant—attempts that mirror your own.
Yes I agree and in the end I think it will force the GOP to fix the aca
If it’s a painting I’ll let you get away with it. If it’s a rug? That’s a different story. 
I hope Chuck can roll the orange Sybil before the real Dotard Trump re-emerges.
Yes, deferring to Democratic leadership to craft a bill retaining the best features of ACA will be great presidenting. Then Trump will persuade 13 Republican senators to join Dems in voting to override a filibuster and pass the resulting bill. I can see it now. It totally fits his demonstrated skill for legislative bargaining!
“Trump is doing exactly the right thing.”
Do you mean by shortening the open enrollment window, shutting down sign-up computers for 12 hours every weekend, ending enrollment outreach, trying to establish work requirements for Medicaid, threatening to stop all cost-sharing reductions that kept premiums lower and then saying basically “maybe yes, maybe no” to insure that those healthcare insurance companies don’t know which end is up, actually using ACA funds for ads against the ACA, eliminating complete coverage so he can give us a la carte insurance plans?
Let me remind you what your foul mouthed fascist said about healthcare. He will “save” Medicare and Medicaid, He will increase Medicaid funding, everyone will be covered, everyone will pay less for better coverage, better coverage for pre-existing conditions.
Or do you mean that he’s finally coming around to the Democrats’ position.
That’s a rhetorical question, right?
Weak but not irrelevant. As an Iranian friend once said of Ahmadinejad, Nothing is more dangerous than a weak man with power.
Isn’t that the same day Trump increased abortions (especially partial-birth abortion) by limiting millions of women’s access to birth control?
, he said in his best Joker’s voice.
Schumer said that Trump asked him about another attempt to repeal Obamacare but that he told the President that Democrats would not work with him on that.
What an idiot. Did he really think Schumer would work with him on repealing Obamacare? WTF is wrong with him?
That was rhetorical, Horshack.
Oh, and hey, Chuck…nothing short of telling Commander Lardass that until he quits trying to sabotage Obamacare by way of HHS and fully fund the law, he can go jump into the nearest sinkhole. Hopefully it’ll take him all the way to Earth’s molten core.
Some blue state Goopers and what are now called “moderate” Republicans will have to work with the Dems if they don’t want to lose their seats in the next election, and some of them know it. The GOP has always hinted that this Pr*sident is just sitting in his Oval Office seat to sign shit they send him and do what he’s told. Its about time they make him do something beyond the narrow vision of their party for a change.
No quarter.
I didn’t mean any of that. I meant by being pragmatic rather than ideological. If repubs fail to get things done, he’ll work with Dems. We may end up seeing the first genuinely bipartisan president for quite some time.
Hell, he brags about it. He loves his own sense of cruelty. He pretends his dick grows in size with every cruel act he uses to destroy something, especially the ACA. He’s just a little man with insecurities and perversions beyond our comprehension. Beyond mine anyways.
I was just thinking today that Dems using some PAC money or whatever should book a bunch of public access TV stations for cheap infomercials on the upcoming PPACA signups and the changes that are being forced on it by this administration, just so that people are in the know and remain informed…Just to add to whatever online ads they can pay for on social media and the like. There needs to be some kind of counter-measures being taken in Nov. when signups begin, even before that. Dems should be at the forefront of those efforts and the public should see that the party stands behind the law, still trying to encourage people to signup and explain what their options are.
Hmm. Schumer. Trump. Which one has more credibility.
