Repeal Of Obamacare Died From Sneaky Snakebite

The sneaky snake has a name: Paul Ryan. The old dino has been entertaining the theory that the failure to repeal Obamacare is precisely what GOP House Speaker hoped to happen--even though he trotted out his own replacement, which came to be called Obamacare Lite.
I wonder if Ryan got a discrete call from O this weekend to again hear, "Thank you for making government work."
I recall Lou Dobbs comparing Paul Ryan to the same kind of snake Trump speaks of in the primary link (I latched on three more).
Trump evidently knows what a snake is but trusted Ryan to push his promised repeal of Obamacare through.
Now Trump wants to put the repeal on the back-burner and push for lowering taxes. Whoa, wait! I thought I heard Trump say that lowering taxes first hinged on repealing Obamacare.
Oh, well, what do I know? The Son Of Boehner (SOB) knows way more about that kinda stuff than I ever could.

    Thank you. Watching Paul Ryan pull his crap really touched my nerve. Just had to post.

    +1 for your indeed righteous passion; but as a fan of a certain successful TV series, I feel moved to advise that The Walking Dead are very dangerous.
    The fictional fact that one can only kill a "walker" by destroying its ravenous evil brain strikes me as RINO metaphorical.

    Nice going allosaur, seems you have touched a bit of a nerve with this discussion!
    Getting rid of all the RINOs and the others who could not hold a job in the private sector would be my first choice. Who or what we replace them with is the $64,000 question. Returning the control to the dems is simply out of the question yet one needs to be a certain kind of idiot to even want to swim in this swamp. Seems to me they named these differing factions correctly, Party, and it is on our dimes.

    The answer for the tax code is to repeal the 16th amendment eliminate all taxes but a consumption tax (Excise tax on a transaction) with revenue going to the state by zip code and the State funding the towns from the bottom up with the Federal government funded last via a budget. Exactly as the Constitution specifies.

    Nothing less will work.

    The Freedom Caucus would not tolerate RINOcare. They said that they wanted to spend the time to get the bill right. They will be back, hopefully with the 2015 Repeal Bill that passed 60 times. Yes, 60 times. But, then the cowardly Republicans can safely vote for it because they KNEW Obama was going to veto it.

    We need a new party RIGHT NOW! We cannot wait any longer. The GOP is dead. It committed suicide! Don't waste anymore time on them.

    Trump has got to realize that when it comes to anyone in congress before he became President is an enemy. He is, for the most part, alone. He needs to find a tough insider as his #1 advisor who knows who the bad guys who are. Who are really Brutus (like Priebus) and deal with them. A guy like Baker was for example.

    Trump has executive powers and veto power. Thats about IT. He can also tweet to help get bad congresspeople not elected, but that will take a couple of years.

    You'd think Republicans would be all in for a free market.
    Oops, I forgot about the RINOs . . .

    Paul Ryan had nothing in mind further than protecting the special interests of an Orren Boyle Lite class.

    I'm going to recommend to my congressman (Rep. David Brat, R-Va.-7th) that he challenge Mr. Ryan for the Speakership.

    Perhaps Trump should change his described "the swamp" to "the snake pit."
    He has already been bit by it. Bet he gets bit again.

    thats what I voted him in to do. I think that if its achievable by executive order, it will happen, BUT if it requires congressional approvals, it wont except perhaps if only 51 votes are required to pass it.

    Our Founding Fathers possessed incredible wisdom they were more than willing to share.
    Unfortunately. the popular vote thinks "progressive" (psst, socialist control freak fascists) globalists like the Evil Hag and Al Gore are candy mountain ice cream and lollipops.

    Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone in being sick of RINOS. A lot of us are. This is what primaries are for....get them defeated at the grassroots.

    I'd love to see some vetoes of statist bills. and reversal of open ended bureaucratic power. That is what neither the dems nor the GOP have done persistently in the past 30 years.

    If Trump can expose that a lesser evil is not acceptable to more than half the voters then that will be progress.

    Couldn't agree more...get the government out of health care and see costs go down, and we'd have better care. However, after seventy-five plus years of socialism, the moochers think that they are "entitled" to whatever the government has to offer. I don't know if we can ever get the government out of our lives.

    they cant repeal it without 60 senate votes, which they dont have, and probably never will have. Let Obamacare crash on its own.

    I wanted REPEAL not REPEAL/REPLACE. Why would we think the repubs could craft another government controlled health care system better than Obamacare ? Healthcare needs to be private and the people who expect free health care are just going to have to pay for it.

    When Trump first coined the phrase, "Drain The Swamp" I was all in favor of it but I turned to my wife and said "He better bring Roto-Rooter with him. The swamp is overloaded with snakes, alligators, frogs, turtles and Piranha's big and small and democrat and republican. The drain will be clogged all the time. The dems walk in lock step as a party while the republicans line up in a circular firing squad and can't agree among themselves on anything. With democrats, liberals, the MSM and even the republican party against him DJT is going to need all of "We The People" to achieve the goals we all elected him to reach.

    That IS the answer. For We The People.
    But not for our control freak oligarchy. It's way too simplistic.
    Consider the complicated madness of the federal tax code.
