Democrats need to fight this and fight this hard. They need to find people who were saved by having ObamaCare.
Find a couple dozen children who got insurance on their parents at 25, and then got really sick or hurt and were able to get help.
Find a cancer victim who couldnāt get insurance, but is in remission now because of ObamaCare.
There are 30 million more people with health insurance thanks to ObamaCare, and it canāt be that hard to find a half dozen or so who benefited greatly in every Congressional District.
If they want to blame Obamacare failure on Democrats, as Trump says it will it will fail under its own weight, why do anything? Leave it alone to fail under its own weight.
Donald Trump issuing warnings to be careful?
We are now one step closer to having seen everything.
The moment a single Democrat votes with Republicans on any bill to scuttle the ACA the entire effort at sabotage becomes ābipartisanā. Itāll be used in TV ads and news interviews to paint the effort at āreformā or āreplaceā as something both Democrats and Republicans want. Unfortunately I donāt think recruiting one or more Democrat defections will be a major challenge for the GOP.
Is that a current picture of Trump? Terrifyingāhe looks like heās halfway between Jack Napier and The Joker.
This is the first time Iāve really gauged how heās physically deteriorating in real time.
Donald seems to forget innocent people are intertwined with the self-centered politicsā¦
Heās not warning the Goopers, heās afraid that itāll ultimately come back to bite him, because heāll captain of the ship when the Goopers start making cuts that are unpopular and when millions start losing coverage and benefits in one form or another.
Because the Goopers will have to make cuts. And when they do, he has to sign the result.
Then he, and he alone, will be to blame, because the buck stops in the Oval Office on this. Thereās nobody to pass off to.
Thatās cool Donaldā¦and weāll make sure youāll OWN 50 million people without healthcare when you do your bogus āRepealā¦and pretend to replaceā while doing your dance of waiting waiting waiting to actually DO anything. We got you Trump.
I donāt know how the Republicans will manage to fuck up Obamacare and pin it on the Democrats. Theyāre in charge now. āImagine how bad it couldāve been had we not fucked it up. It would be much worse!ā
Dems should be sure when making such pitches their examples arenāt black or readily identifiable as some sort of skeevy foreign looking ancestry. Those people donāt count. Just show a picture of JonBenĆ©t Ramsey and tell the viewers she has brain cancer and no insurance. The public is a sucker for a pretty blonde waif in distress. Hell, Iāve married three of them!
Iām seeing article after article quoting working class white people who voted for Trump or didnāt vote at all and are totally dependent on the ACA and had no idea until the reporter told them. Obama and the Dems completely fucked up by not selling the benefits and letting people know what theyāre getting, but I bet theyāll notice when itās gone, and theyāll know who took it away, and itāll be awfully hard to pin that on Democrats when they hold exactly no power. Good luck with that, Donny boy.
I donāt think so. In the last recent photos he appears to be letting his weird orange hair fade out to more of asilver, and he doesnāt appear to be keeping up with his tanning studio appointments, so he looks more like he crawled out from under a rock rather than a cheeto.
But, yes, in those recent photos, his face is puffier and the bags under his eyes are starting to look like steamer trunksā¦
He may not make it too long into his term because of health issues.
āthe Dems own the failed ObamaCare disaster,ā
Well I think a āfailed disasterā is equivalent to a success. So, yes, the Dems happily own it. Trump and Republicans will own what follows if they manage to kill it.
Um, Polygamy is against the law you know.
Thatāll be an OāReilly headline in a couple of yearsā¦
Itās going to be an interesting 4 years of schadenfreude. The only people getting screwed worse by a Donald Trump Presidency thanā¦ well, everyoneā¦ is the Republicans in Congress. Have fun with a party āleaderā who lives for 1) doing nothing, 2) taking credit for everything that goes right, and 3) saying āI told you soā about everything that goes wrongā¦
You get to attempt your already wrong-headed governing strategy with an incredibly loud, uncouth elephant strapped to your back, in a country that was already so furious about the way things were going, they elected you, not knowing youāre the people they were furious atā¦
Those people dying in the street.
Those people cramming the emergency rooms ā¦
Not Us ā¦so sayeth the Republicans
Nothing to see here , move along.
Next up
All You greedy SS and Medicare āTakersā
The country will be safe for millionaires and billionaires again
Others have always ended up owning Trumpās business failures. He is now deflecting ownership of the disastrous consequences of the campaign promises with which he duped his voters. He may not turn out to be the eager rubber-stamper the GOP expected.
Before continuously letting The Puppet drive the conversation with his illiterate tweets I am hoping the media-at-large take a strategic step back and assess the most constructive way to manage him. Every web site I used to visit seems to be like the dog who spots the squirrel when The Puppet throws out 140 characters. Enough already. Why not place more emphasis on whatās going on in Washington until he answers some questions. Go ahead and devote a section to promote his idiocy but I think itās time the media reverse or slow the dynamic of being dominated by him.
