It's an emotional appeal, not a factual one. You're pissed and disoriented; his base eats that shit up like chocolate pudding. Classic troll maneuver.

Right now the entire thing does. Course Republicans are still gonna do everything to sabotage it funding wise and enforcement wise but still all of it still is in place.

Won't the next bill/plan be potentially even worse than this one?

"Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my administration:
...
5. Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act...
"
-Donald Trump, Contract with America
"I've been in office what 64 days now. I never said Repeal and Replace is something that I wanted done right away"

i expect more private threats to the FC but then that's a move for someone with tact, so what do i know
hahaha he used this shit logic on his failed travel bans & will likely echo it on the next failure
ayyyyy
lemme spoil this for you based on recent polls: they will
what matters are the moderates/independents/etc who are far less likely

Trump is one of the worst speakers I've ever listened to. How is he President again? And he also said he never said Repeal and Replace, and thats a lie. He said at many rallies he would Repeal & Replace every single word of Obamacare day 1.
There isn't a next bill

Not to everyone. Republicans have to confront their constituents who are in jeopardy of losing their insurance, too.
Depends how the 2018 elections turn out.
I hope so. I would rather not have one of my friends die due to tax cuts to the rich pretending to be a healthcare bill.
LOL at the word salad falling out of Trump's shouthole! "I really think it'll be a BETTER BILL, 'cause it's gonna come from the Democrats, they're good people, we'll have BIPARTISAN, and it's gonna be the ULTIMATE."
"What are the specifics you'd want to see in a new bill?"
"WELL I DON'T WANNA TALK SPECIFICS..."

Breitbart is in full swing now, trying to blame this all on Paul Ryan, calling it "failed Ryancare", calling for his resignation, and absolving Trump of all responsibility for it, even though Trump has worked 18 hour days all week desperately trying to convince Congress of how awesome it was.

Did he really use the word "ultimate"?

Even the Republicans on the CNN panel are shitting on Trump. This is great.

Paul Ryan has embarrassed himself more than Trump, if that was possible

That tax bill got a lot more complicated.
April 15th for those asking.

For the most part, it's been "Repeal", not "Repeal and replace". This "Oh, hey, maybe we should have a replacement rather than going back to the way things were" has to do with the ACA's popularity (as seen when Obama got out of office, going up something like 15 points).

They would have to wait a year for next budget reconciliation to avoid filibuster. And they aint doing that shit in an election year. There is no next bill.

"Now they own Obamacare"
You said the same thing in January. They have always owned it.

Man... just looking at the most used gifs right now on giphy's front page is hilarious. Screw Trump, screw Ryan, screw every "willing to murder the poor" piece of garbage that would have voted yes on this bill. Luckily, my shitty congressman who would have voted for the bill only won by 1% last year; his ass is toast.

This press is so bad. Asking questions at the Trump surrender ceremony. Trump is like this was a "good" bill. More mundane generalities throughout all his speech. No one ever asks him the simple question. What is "good" about it? And then present the facts from whatever BS he spills of 24 million people getting kicked off as "good."
Press is horrible. News in mundane terms at 11.

Ha! I was just thinking about this earlier today. Trump ends up looking weak as hell before he tries to get his budget through. I really hope this win emboldens people to keep at it. This bill was straight up garbage but going to town halls and calling people in congress definitely helped.

Funny thing, you only hear about these problems in states that declined the Medicaid expansion. Want to guess why?
