Not what you want to hear from your president
Quoting CNN editor-at-large Chris Cillizza’s paraphrase of President Donald Trump:
“Obamacare is a bad law that will fail if we do nothing. So, we will let it fail because then we won’t take the blame for its failure. Then Democrats, who will take the blame, will come crawling to us wanting to make a deal because the politics will be so bad for them.”
Really?
Is that what you wanted to hear from your president?
So much for taking care of the people. So much for making America great again.
How would Democrats take the blame for the failures of this Republican Congress? What is this man thinking? Republicans have had more than seven years to repeal and replace Obamacare. What’s the plan, Mitch?
