If Rump is smart he will now cut out the Freedon Caucus and get a better, more liberal, healthcare bill passed with Democrat cooperation. If he could build a center coalition leaving out the extremes he would likely very easily get reelected.

Just repeal Obamacare. Unless the GOP wants their voters to stay home in 2018

I'm not sure he really even cares about the issue of making health care affordable to working Americans to begin with.
I think he's only interested in scoring victories and trophies to further adorn his wall of self admiration. Now that it's become a defeat, he's probably only interested in running away from it and trying his best to put it out of his mind and forget about it.
C'MON MAN!!!!

Yep. It addresses a lot of what I've been saying...fairly accurately. This was about getting rid of taxes that would help further cuts later.
To the last paragraph, tax cuts coupled with increased spending has been the actual plan of every Republican administration, their rhetoric notwithstanding.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
it's not going to happen. Trump is learning DC politics-there are no friends- just apportioning blame.
Obamacare is popular enough for now. It's got got design flaws though and the partisan blame game lands on the Dems
AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
Wishful thinking on your part.
Trump and the Republicans swore to the voters that they would repeal and replace.
It is now glaringly obvious to everyone that those were just empty campaign promises designed to play upon and exploit for political gain, the anger and frustration of the American people at a system we all know is massively unfair to people of modest means.
IOW, most people.
Glaringly obvious as well, is the fact that Trump and the GOP knew damned well they wouldn't be able to repeal Obamacare, or at least, not replace it with something better. There is no perfect solution to the problem. Anything that gets created is going to cost somebody somewhere.
The left says it's more fair (or less unfair) to have the bulk of that cost borne by those who can afford it the most because they HAVE the most and the cost will have a negligible effect on the quality of their lives. The right says unfair is unfair and nothing else matters. Then they double down by trying to hand out tax breaks for these very same wealthy people, the fairness to whom they are trying to protect, in order to make them even wealthier and even MORE able to afford to shoulder the bulk of the burden of a health care system which they will not be asked to shoulder anyway.
Democrats' concern lies with human beings and increasing the quality of life.
Republicans' concern lies with WEALTHY human beings and increasing their wealth so that THEY can be the ones who enjoy quality lives and good luck to everyone else.
C'MON MAN!!!!
