Trump turns on his party, blames them for healthcare bill's failure

Well at least he's decided to tell the truth here. I guess he realized blaming the Democrats looked absurd given not a single Democratic vote was needed for passage.

quote:
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is attacking conservative lawmakers after the failure of the Republican bill to replace Obamacare.
On Twitter Sunday, Trump says: "Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!"
quote:
The Freedom Caucus is a hard-right group of House members who were largely responsible for blocking the bill to undo President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. The bill was pulled from the House floor Friday in a humiliating political defeat for the president.
Trump initially focused his blame on Democrats for the failure and predicted a dire future for the current law.
Before the bill was pulled, Trump tweeted at the Freedom Caucus, saying Planned Parenthood funding would continue if they blocked the legislation.

Read this, from a Republican Senator. If you have the intelligence to understand what he says, and you still think the GOP has any capacity to govern, you are impervious to facts:

Evidently, Cotton is one of the more intelligent republicans in Congress.
God that is scary.

Trump was behind the GOP 100% on this.

Honestly, if you're looking at this from a purely partisan perspective, not passing this bill was great for the GOP. The ACA is a disaster but this bill would have probably made the situation worse. Now, the DNC still owns the mess of the ACA.
I'm sure that's not a big relief for the Middle Class who is getting demolished but nonetheless.

If the Republicans having control of EVERY element of the government necessary to pass any legislation they want doesn't allow you to admit that this is their failure, YOU are brainwashed beyond any capacity of objectivity or reason. My God, I hope you aren't raising kids.

True it was a shite bill, but voters are going to remember that the GOP promised to repeal and replace for six years and then just gave up on it. This is on the GOP now. They're the ones who have bitched and moaned about this for years.

It was.
Trump can frick it up by going after the HFC and his base instead of keeping focus on 100% Dem opposition.

Obamacare will still get repealed.

It's falling upward. I specifically stated the perspective was purely partisian.

frick off. My kids, who are elementary school, apparently already have better reading comprehension skills than you.

Good to quickly uncover a newbie with no reading comprehension whatsoever.

True but as premiums and deductibles continue to skyrocket and choice continues to diminish, they'll also remember which party put the actual law in play.

I do find it telling how the left has tried to shift responsibility for the ACA since the get go.

Wrong.
Republicans screamed from the mountaintops for years about the pending catastrophe of the ACA. About the need to repeal and replace. I would say that half those empty suits wouldnt be in congress if not for beating that drum. Now, at the moment of truth they choke the opportunity away and its someone else's fault?
Party of personal accountability indeed.

Only way this happens if Trump reaches out to Democrats and telsl the Freedom Caucus to frick off. He possibly could get cooperation between the Dems and moderate Republicans to improve what we have now.
IDK if the Dems will work with them though given the way Obama was treated for the past eight years.

Shut the frick up Toddy.

Where did I say you are a Republican? You take a shot at my reading comprehension skills, and then post this?
Further proof you have no capacity for objectivity or reason.

Man, we really need a remedial reading comprehension course for this board.

What's funny to me is that for my entire adult lifetime, democrats have bitched saying Republicans needed to elect someone who steered away from the party protests and more to the middle.
So. Republicans nominated someone who exactly fits that bill and in fact, is left of many issues.
Democratic reaction?
Hitler!!!!!
