My prediction of future WH talking-points if Trumpcare passes

1. The WH will call it Trumpcare because the Groper wants his name on something. The GOP will call it Trumpcare to distance themselves from it, in case it becomes unpopular: They will blame it all on Trump and walk away from the responsibility of passing it.


2. After Trumpcare has become law of the land, people will lose healthcare and premiums will go up drastically. Republicans will blame the now-defunct Obamacare for poisoning the healthcare-market.


3. Trumpcare has been law of the land now for a while and the healthcare is still bad and the premiums still skyrocketing. Trump and the Republicans are blaming:
* The insurers for daring to charge people so much money.
* The Democrats for being in the pocket of Big Insurance.
* The media for reporting that healthcare is bad and premiums skyrocketing. Because the media's reporting is causing all those things in the first place.
* All those people coming forward with anecdotes how their healthcare is getting worse and more expensive. "You have to look at the big picture!"
* Healthcare-experts for trash-talking Trumpcare. "Don't look at the big picture!"


4. Democrats start talking about Trumpcare-repeal. Republicans call this a childish, partisan stunt. They have won, get over it. No repeal. Ever.


5. Trump trash-talks the insurers and promises to do "something" about it via Twitter. Spicey clarifies via mouth-diarrhea. The GOP issues a non-statement.

There is no lie the GOP won't tell, and that Fox News and conservative hate radio won't amplify.
