Never fear, they'll screw that up, too. Stunads.

Didn't he say it was gonna be repealed and replaced with something better on day one?
That's three lies in one sentence - day one, something better and repealed......

He also doesn't know and doesn't care. He does not have the brain capability to understand and/or fix it. This is why he - under the guise of being a "delegating" boss - just hands over all the functions of the executive branch to others.

I'd love to see Don the Con and Obama take a series of tests - multiple choice would be fine - on EVERYTHING from the USA Constitution to history to geography to politics to economics and more.......

Don would come out below many high school students. I certainly know a lot more about just about everything (except acting and The Art of the Con) than our current POTUS.
That would be something to see the results of your proposed test. I don't think Trump would even be able to maintain the attention span to take it.

Why would this be a good thing? What do you think is going to happen if they do?

It's not getting repealed without a replacement. Moderate Republicans (as well as many Republicans who need to be re-elected) won't support just a repeal because members of their base could be hurt if that happens. And some of these guys are in states where they aren't exactly grandfathered in yet. Democrat outrage over it's repeal without a replacement could cost him/her a seat in the senate/house. And that's not something they want.

The ACA isn't going anywhere. Not yet.

Simple. States like West Virginia who voted for Trump has 1/3 of it's pop on Medicaid. It's about time we cut these leeches off.

Oh yeah.........at every rally he stood up there and boldly proclaimed on day one they would repeal and replace it, as if he, the sole ruler of the world, could all alone make it happen. But lately he has his tail between his legs and is looking like a whipped puppy.

Well, he and his extended family are winning...doesn't that count for something? Maybe it will trickle down to some of those 15,000 immigrants he just allowed in to staff his resorts? Then they will.....well, I guess they will try to take most of it home...

It's safe to assume a lot of those 15K are Mexicans and Central Americans. That is in addition to the 66,000 already OKed this year. No doubt a lot of the money they make will go to Coyotes to bring the remainder of the family over the southern border...but the transparent, solar TALL wall (didn't it keep getting higher?) will stop them. Instead they will throw 30KG bags of drugs over it which could hit a real American on the head.
