Priebus promises that GOP-Senate will turn shitty Trumpcare-bill into something fantastic

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/older-people-are-going-to-be-paying-five-times-more-foxs-chris-wallace-smacks-down-priebus-on-trumpcare/

According to Priebus, what came through the House is not representative of what the final bill will look like.

“It’s up to the Senate to make improvements if they’re to be made,” Priebus told Wallace.

...

“That is not taking care of everybody like the president promised,” Wallace replied. “You’re rolling back Medicaid, older people are going to end up paying five times as much or even more.”

“That’s the old bill,” Priebus parried.

“But that part of it stays,” Wallace replied.

“That’s before the Senate takes the bill and makes it even better,” Priebus promised before complaining that Wallace was “getting into the weeds.”

Everybody calm down, okay?

The GOP-controlled House just rammed through a horrible bill everybody hates, but don't worry about that.
Because the GOP-controlled Senate will now come up with fantastic ideas how to make this work.
Because the GOP-Senators will deliver some fresh and new ideas how to make good on Trump's promises.

Because that's what they did the first two times in the House.

So it sounds like Trump will likely never get to repeal the ACA due to GOP infighting.
