As it stands, the chance of a straight repeal of ObamaCare is not looking good. Susan Collins just needs to go ahead and switch over to the Commie democratic party. I'm so sick of these moderates campaigning on a repeal of ObamaCare, voting to repeal under Obama, and then chickening out under Trump. My patience is wearing out with these clowns. McCain, McConnell and a few other incompetent senators need to be in an old folks home. I'm fed up with these establishment republicans getting in the way of Trump's agenda. Trump won a bunch of red states in landslide victories against Hillary, and carried a few republican senators across the finish line in the process. You figure they would start to get a clue. Besides Trump doing what he can at the executive level, I'm not seeing much progress at all. To be honest, if it weren't for the potential of Trump getting a couple more Supreme Court picks, I probably wouldn't vote GOP in the 2018 races.

This is entirely the Republican voter's fault. Everyone was against the "establishment," yet voted to re-elect the same Republican members of Congress which you all complained about for the past 7 years. You thought it would only matter at the executive branch, not the local and state level.

You fell for Trump's sales and deal making gimmick which has turned into nothing more than a sham. He simply doesn't have the savvy to work with politicians, and is unable to persuade the corporately-controlled Republican congress to pass any meaningful legislation for the "working man" who put him in office.

The Repubs are behaving like jackwits right now. But, you can calm down. Turn off the TV, go outside, take a walk, pet a dog. Tomorrow is another day (although it'll be the same sh*t from both parties).

Don't look now, but the Democrats have completely relinquished any title to being Communists. Trump is the one meeting one on one with Putin with only Vlad's translator present to sell America for a song. The GOP that supports him has now officially become the Communist Sympathizer Party.

You fell for the lie that the GOP had wonderful plans for repeal and replace Obamacare when in reality there was no plan whatsoever. Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself. Remember he said everyone was going to have fantastic healthcare for less money. Did it not occur to you to wonder why no GOP representative could ever explain what this great plan actually was? No, when others tried to point that out it was always "fake news." Reap what you sow.

It didn't happen because it was never going to be as easy to do as was being promised.

Everyone, from Trump on down, lied to get votes. Well Trump may not have lied exactly, it's possible he was just talking out of his arse and didn't know any better.

There is no easy way out of Obamacare. Either they compromise to sure it up or repeal it and throw the market into chaos. There is no such thing as a replacement bill that can pass.

The Red Party is the Republican Party. Just ask Putin's luggage carrier, Mr. Trump.
