Drumpt says he's willing sabotage ACA to bring Dems to the table.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-may-withhold-cost-sharing-reduction-payments-to-force-democrats-to-negotiate-obamacare-repeal

snip:

President Trump suggested to the Wall Street Journal Wednesday that he would withhold from insurers Obamacare subsidy payments that are the target of a House GOP lawsuit in order to force Democrats into negotiations over repealing the Affordable Care Act, a move that could bring chaos to the individual health insurance market.

Title should say. "Drumpt willing to kill Americans by throwing shitgibbon tantrum."

"Let him ruin it" is not an option that any caring person should be recommending.

Trump voters must want to lose their healthcare because they did vote for someone who is going to take it from them, come hell or high water he is going to do that.

He and the GOP may not be able to do much else but what they will do is take our benefits from us, for sure.

unless the voters dont want that, then they can vote for politicians who dont want to kill them

They are Repubs. That's what they stand for: Break the underlings and make them our servants and workers for our businesses. If you give them an inch, they take a mile though.

Betty DeVoss is making it harder to pay student loans.
There are so many ways they put greater burdens on our backs to pad their rich bank accounts.

We are meek in comparison. We stop and think about whether our actions hurt people. As Paul Ryan said, it's much easier to tear down, which is where they were for 10 years. Making something work for people is hard.

they can basically do whatever they want with it anyway
signing on for "bipartisanship" purposes only lends them legitimacy and taints the Democrats
don't bargain with hostage-taking terrorists

"let them own it" is not an option any caring person should promote. Real people will die while we're sitting around smugly "letting them own it" so we can avoid having our purity tainted.

We need to fight tooth and nail - and, yes, come to the table to fight to salvage what we can.
