Discussion: Trump Pressures GOP Senators: Time To Keep Your 'Promise' To Repeal O'Care

Yep…time to keep a nebulous ‘promise’ that you never THOUGHT about or fleshed out or gave any particulars about RATHER than do something ‘good’ for the country and the electorate. FU Trump. You don’t care. You just want something to sign…other than an executive order that your railed against with Obama but is the only thing you’ve accomplished.

At least I’m playing with a full deck. I listened to him-- thought it was impossible for hm to demand that senators vote on a bill without knowing which one. He doesn’t care which one, I guess.

He also described a bill that has enough funds for opioid and the rest. No such bill exists. If they could have bribed their way out of it, they would have done so before now

Hey Republican Senators! How does it feel to get called out by Hair Furor? Does it feel good to have a man who obviously has no interest in the particulars of legislation castigate you because you want to do what’s best for your constituencies? This man who wants you to stay in DC until you reach a deal to screw over Americans, while he goes to New Jersey (NEW JERSEY!?!) for most of the month to get some golf in? There are so few of you who have shown some backbone. Don’t lose it now!

I must have a win. Any win. No one I know cares about 32 million Americans. Give me a win or I’ll lob a nuke into North Korea. Or California.

Why didn’t you keep your promise to “Lock Her Up”?

Why didn’t you keep your promise to sue all the women that said you sexually assaulted/harassed them?

Is your wife even a legitimate, legal citizen of this country? When will there be the press conference promised to clear that up?

See? You don’t really keep promises.

Golly, what a dilemma: don’t vote for a repeal, and your base is mad ‘cos you "broke your promise’; or vote to repeal, and the base is mad at you 'cos you are taking away their health care. Poor Senators -what to do!

If only they had thought about the long term consequences about being lying sacks of political nihilism…

I say go ahead - sign your own political death warrant.
It’s a perfect confluence of hate and illogical rhetoric you’ve been pushing for eight long years.
Damned if you do
Damned if you don’t
Poor sad ignorant fucks .
Due everything that is coming your way

Trump repeatedly parades alleged "Obamacare victims that he has talked to. Has he ever talked to any of the millions of American who have benefited from the Affordable Care Act? Of course not. He doesn’t care. Anything “Obama” must be bad and therefore must be made to disappear.

Too bad we can’t do the same with all things TRUMP.

Every day, our whack-job “president” becomes more and more of a menace to our country and the world.

obama did a brilliant thing by stealing the GOP plan, that’s why they haven’t come up with an alternative in 8 years. because the ACA is designed to PRESERVE the private insurance market against single payer. obama knew that they would oppose it just to spite him. now the racist GOP is squirming just to save face to their racist constituents by erasing anything obama.

It’s the part where so many of them genuinely seem not to realize that they’re voting on whether to touch off a 9.0 earthquake under the foundations of the health insurance industry and providers alike that is really dismaying. It’s like they think they’re voting on how many Free Market Fairies will need to be uncaged to work their magic–just a few or all of them.

So Trump says “Obamacare is death!”

Remember when Bill O’Reilly kept talking about “Tiller the baby killer”?

TPM–

About the headline: Trump’s speech was drivel. No one on the Hill feels pressured by it.
Try “Trump Whines at GOP Senators…”

This will be a good chance to see if Trump still has any juice with “his” Republican congress. They know no matter what he says today, tomorrow he can, and will, stab them in the back.

Also, TPM, it’s not that we don’t know the moron’s face, you don’t need to add a large photo of that revolting orangy piece of trash to each and every Trump-related article…
