The R's have had seven years of grandstanding, stomping their feet, holding their breath and other sorts of pre juvenile behavior regarding how healthcare is administered in the USA. Why? Because they had Obama standing there to ignore their theatrics. It's easy to pick a fight when you know someone is gonna save your azz before you take a punch.
Do the Republicans wish Obama was still there to allow them to continue their fake concern for the middle class and the poor? You betcha they do. You won't hear it but now that they have lost their cover it seems that the fifity four (?) times they passed a repeal of the ACA was just an exercise in bulls***.
Frauds...every stinking one of them. And the ducks that quack behind them are no better.

Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence.

Health insurance for every American is not a government responsibility....Responsible Americans don't expect other Americans to pay their living expenses.....Screw the pet hamsters................
Everybody knows the Dems are full of it which is why they are currently a regional party.
This is a win as it shows how full of shiat the GOPe are. It's now on full display. Now we can go about purging those who are DC first versus we the people first.
As Bill Parcels once said, You are what you're record says you are and for the Trump Administration and it's G.O.P. lap dogs, it's pretty pathetic:
"The timing and fate of President Trump’s infrastructure plan may depend on whether the GOP enacts major tax reform — a task that could prove challenging amid the struggle to pass a healthcare bill.
Republicans are signaling that a massive rebuilding package, which has long been one of Trump’s top priorities, will most likely have to wait on the sidelines until lawmakers overhaul the tax code.
But with that process likely to be just as time-consuming and daunting as healthcare, infrastructure could be pushed to the back burner."
"Republicans and conservatives are forming a circular firing squad after the ignominious collapse of the party’s healthcare effort — and everyone is opening up with both barrels.
The White House is blaming Democrats in public and Congressional Republicans in private.
From Capitol Hill, fingers are being pointed toward the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, at President Trump’s purportedly inconsistent leadership.
The post-mortems offer a multitude of more specific reasons why the attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as ObamaCare, expired."

Comes just in time for Trumps weekend tweetstorm bender.
Trumpcare and Obamacare may be doomed....There is nothing free about good healthcare..........
Right now the only thing that's doomed is Trumpcare, Obamacare will continue and will eventually be improved upon, when the Dems get back in control after next year's elections.

Obamacare and Trumpcare are both crap health insurance....The main difference is that Trumpcare could survive 20 years.....Try knowing the topic before you spread your pearls of wisdom.............

Try knowing the topic yourself. Quoting David brooks: "The Republican Party needs to get it's head around the idea that Americans Now consider health care a right and between the bumbling idiot that calls himself "president' and the G.O.P. that can't agree on anything, you're fooling yourself if you think these people can come up with a solution.

David Brooks should have never been allowed into the USA.....He likes to write satire and supports politicians like John McCain and Hillary...His son served in the military of a foreign country....David had a midlife crisis, divorced his wife of 27 years, and married his young secretary........ :oyvey
The repeal of Obamacare has not failed....Obamacare is dying from a self inflicted gunshot wound................

Keep fooling yourself.
As David Brooks said last Friday "Republicans have to wrap their heads around the fact that the American people now consider health care a right."

"What happens when we elect a president who prefers to freelance rather than to lead....It was a political drubbing of the first order. A new Republican president and a Republican Senate and House put everything they had into a bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare, and couldn’t do it. The leadership is rocked. The president looks confused and hapless, while publicly enacting determination and a scolding tone toward those who’d let him down. He rarely showed signs of fully understanding the details or even the essentials of the plan he backed. His public remarks were all over the place: He’ll let ObamaCare collapse of its own weight; he’ll replace it with something big and beautiful; just repeal it; no, let it collapse. He criticized Hill Republicans: They “never discuss how good their healthcare bill is.” But neither did he, not in a persuasive way...Republicans on the Hill need a popular president with the quasi-mystical clout presidential popularity brings. Mr. Trump does not have it.

Peggy Noonan is a has been................ :oyvey
She's what's called a Sensible Conservative, she's not chasing fantasies like some of the Kool Aid drinkers who post here.
"Trump’s failure in health care wasn’t tactical. It was that he refused to acknowledge or redress the fundamental issues...Obamacare repeal has failed again, almost certainly for the final time. Seven years of Republican promises to uproot the thing and mulch the stump have ended in rejection by a Senate with a Republican majority. It’s hard to recall when last a political party inflicted such a defeat upon itself. Obamacare repeal was not one policy idea among many for Republicans, akin to the cap-and-trade plans that fizzled in the Democratic Congress of 2009-2010. It was the core commitment of the party, the indispensable preliminary to everything else Republicans wanted to do, from entitlement reform to tax cuts...And then, with all the necessary votes in hand, facing no effective opposition in Congress, the thing just … collapsed, like a person tripping over his own feet while walking across an empty ballroom."
