"Obamacare was passed without even one Republican vote".

[kentuck]

For seven years, we heard that mantra.

So, what happens when the Republicans get into power?

They attempt to pass Trumpcare without even one Democratic vote. They fall into the very trap that they said was the problem with Obamacare.

Seven years.

And they learned nothing.

2. Didn't the pubes vote like 50-something times to repeal O'Care?

What a bunch of dumb asses!

[Fast Walker 52]

4. they truly are the stupid party

[coco22]

13. 60...

Dumb asses!

[Fast Walker 52]

3. and OF COURSE Trump is blaming the Dems for his defeat now

8. 'Blaming'? Lol! Considering how unpopular Trumpcare is...

maybe we should thank him for giving us credit in its defeat and remind voters often how we stood up to the Republican MAJORITY and fought to keep ACA for them.

[Charles Bukowski]

9. Trump is a true imbecile.

Instead of distancing himself from this horrific bill (and its failure) he embraces it further. He easily could have left Ryan holding the bag.

Not that I'm complaining, of course.

[Fast Walker 52]

11. there seem to be different takes... some were saying he was distancing himself from the GOP

but yeah, he's DUMB

[Fast Walker 52]

10. the sad fact is if Trump truly wanted to be a hero and popular

he should pass single payer...

but he won't... because he's an asshole beholden to rich fuckers

[WePurrsevere]

12. I totally agree with both points.

I'd love to see us take the best ideas from the various single payer countries and create a system that's one of, if not the, best in the world for all Americans.

[Fast Walker 52]

22. It's even possible he might do it if he had the right advisors. But there's no way his advisors

would propose such a thing.

[notdarkyet]

17. We should. There are so many reasons to do it, cost being a biggy.

But that is socialism and we can't do that. That is the reason we don't do it. We'd rather the capitalists get massive profits than for people to get affordable health care.

[LuckyLib]

19. So true. And he would use his highly touted "business sense" and sit down with insurers and

tell them, "The party is over."

But when a CEO of a major health firm takes home $60 million dollars a year, we are a long way from that.

[panader0]

5. So when it is their turn, they can't do what Democrats did.

[trof]

6. They can obstruct governance, but they can't govern.

[Fast Walker 52]

23. exactly... the people who hate govt actually don't know how to run it

surprise

[BumRushDaShow]

7. And then they blame the Democrats

for their own failure!

[ffr]

14. Somewhat as important as those last two sentences

Seven years

And have the voters learned anything?

Hint: If you want good government, democrats need a super-majority.

[Mr.Bill]

15. Hey, 45, you want to get a health care bill passed?

Try working with the one who got it done last time. That would be Nancy Pelosi. I'm sure she will be glad to show you what it should be and how to get it done.

[KittyWampus]

16. And for some Democrats that vote was risky.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

18. "they learned nothing"

That can't be surprising...

[Sunlei]

20. President Obama had ACA plans organized,written, worked on for months before he even won.

Obama and Ds pushed "ACA the bill" as very first issue, his first term in office.

Republicans would have never let it in if there was a delay. I remember Republicans telling Obama the economy was so bad, lets wait a year for ACA and just focus on economy. Obama refused to wait.

As it was it took almost Obamas entire first term to complete the roll out for consumers to 'buy the first Obamacare' plans.

21. I fuckin' love the way you think!
