I guess since the ACA was not imploding fast enough, Trump decided to knife it in the back:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...f98_story.html


It seems passing odd..that Trump is really doing the same as Obama, in reverse. Governing by EO...doing those things that he can do by stretching the power of the Executive branch to its limits...and beyond.

For the same reasons, I bet. A Congress that has abrogated all of its responsibility in favor of infighting and bickering.

As the Red States implode...I wonder how Trump's base will feel--when it all gets real?

Can Trump create anything positive? Anything at all? It seems all he does is tear things down..with nothing positive to to put in their place.

He put a Supreme Court Justice in place.
You ain't gonna believe what that will do to Obama's legacy.

You pin a lot of hopes on Gorsuch...I suspect you'll find him a bit more independent and unpredictable than you think. I like Gorsuch...and think him a fair man. I believe that he can and will rise above his personal beliefs if the law is right.

We will see.

Back to Trump---McConnell gets most of the credit for the appointment, I believe..he did the heavy lifting.


Name one EO that has or will help people. Without hurting more.

Healthcare..yeah, if you're a healthy 25 year old...you might see some lower premiums..with a stripped out policy that means nothing if catastrophe hits--but hey..when you're 25..you're immortal, right?

Trump destroys..for a transient approval from his base..and the illusion that he is running things.

One day the Congress will wake up.....

Huh??

Not sure why you brought up California..but they are likely to come though this a lot better than say, Kentucky..or West Virginia, or Kansas.

Just so ya know killing ACA hits nearly as many Repubs as Dems, not going to go over real big in the GOP, that is why they had shelved Repeal and Replace for now, they knew it would bite them in the read end, Trump is too stupid to realize that fact, nothing new.

Trump loves to throw his weight around and this latest trick will get him in big trouble.

Most Americans are in favor of having affordable health insurance. The rich will not be affected but almost everyone else will be. I see the two biggest factors that people are concerned about are health insurance and illegal immigrants. Wouldn't it be great if one political party would come to its senses and create truly good health insurance and also kick illegals out of the country and secure our borders. That party would win win win.

You ASKED us to name one thing Trump has done.
So I did. You agreed it was a good thing.

And then you went right back to your "Trump only destroys" position.
Captain of the debate team, were you?
