Dear Mr. President:
Do NOT under any circumstances endorse or sign RYANcare. RYANcare will immediately become TRUMPcare and that will destroy your credibility and your presidency.
Ryan and the globalist big government GOPe hates you and what you ran on just as much as the democrats and the media. The day you sign TRUMPcare, you own it and they own you. You will be the GOPe's prison bitch. You will also lose your support base and then your tax plan and other trade and economic plans go up in smoke.
Do not settle for anything less than full and complete repeal. If you can't get that from congress, then veto whatever they send up (rinse and repeat as necessary) and if they fail eventually to send up a clean repeal bill then sign nothing and let Obamacare implode on its own.
The crap about 60 votes is crap indeed. They control the senate and the rules. No excuses! This is totally in Republican hands.
If they override your veto, then they own the disaster that follows and you will still have your credibility and your support base. And we are prepared to fight these evil socialist bastards until hell freezes over if necessary.
What happens to the millions of poor people if they lose their health insurance? Well, how did they manage to get health care before Obama? What happened to the millions of people who lost their health care when Obamacare was installed? What happened to the millions who lost their jobs due to Obamacare? What's happening to our economy and our national debt as a result of socialist programs? What happens to our people when the government finally goes bust?
Look, the media, the democrats, the GOPe, the globalists, the corporatists, the crony capitalists, the socialists, the illegals, the Mohammedists, etc, are all going to hate you no matter what you do. Do not under any circumstances blink, retreat or cave-in to their socialist demands. That would be the end of your moral authority and the resulting continuation of unchecked big government will lead to the ultimate collapse of our economy.
Worst case, if the current socialist government/crony capitalist corporate healthcare insurance industry implodes, we will still survive as a free nation and free people. We have faith in God, our constitution, our free markets and our ability to overcome major obstacles. We shall overcome and persevere.
If we slay the federal behemoth and get back to free markets, we will find that government costs will come down, the economy will soar, healthcare costs will come down, federal tax rates can come down, and as more companies are profiting and more people are working, federal and state tax receipts will actually increase. And truly destitute people who cannot provide for themselves can be supported by local and state programs as intended.
Hold the line. America will love you for it in the long run.
BTTT
I Say. KILL. IT. DEAD!
The Government can barley deliver my mail.
Why The Hell would I want them in change of something like my Healthcare?
We are going to find out how committed the President is to those who elected him.
Well stated.
I think this sort of stuff is why Sarah Palin refused to run, she would have had so many of these “Republicans” behind her.
Holding hope that he’s just playing an advanced game of chicken.
Agree 1000%
He will let the parties in Congress fight it out before he interjects himself.
I agree with you!!!
No RINO-Ryan-care!!!!
The GOPe is pushing half measures. REPEAL Obamacare already! Get rid of it and don’t look back. And while you’re at it, do the same for Medicare and Medicaid. Don’t “block grant” them. Don’t pare them back. Set fire to the whole idea of health care as an “entitlement.” Then sit back and watch in awe as the free market swoops in and provides something far better for a lot less money.
Watershed moment.
100%
I have this feeling Mr President is going to let Ryan go down with this health care bill
Ryan is so proud of himself watch him go down in flames, well that is my bet, then Ryan has to beg back to Mr President... In my world anyway

Committed to the campaign and previous House action of
REPEAL.
Then there can be ‘negotiations’.
It’s an albatross necklace.
It’s a giant steaming turd sandwich.
And it will effectively end trust in Trump.
Just pull the friggen plug on O-care for cryin’ out loud.
Amen! I hope he sees this.
I fully support you Mr. Robinson! Won’t you please Mr Robinson Jesus loves you more than you know.

It only takes 3 repub senators to kill it.
The conservatives have 3. The liberals have 3. No one has any idea how they could compromise.
If they don’t, we keep ObamaCare laws and they know it.
I can’t help but wondering if that’s what both sides want. If they know that’s the direction they’re heading, wouldn’t they change direction? And if they don’t, who’s to say that isn’t the direction they want to go.
Their highly principled rhetoric notwithstanding.
HEAR HEAR!
Nuke it from space. It’s the only way to be sure......
So while we might look at what he is doing as 'endorsing', it might be much more likely that what he is doing is 'starting'.
But wait is it not Trump saying Repeal and Replace... He also has a history of saying he wanted single payer. And saying Repeal and Repeal and Replace while running for office.
But the ONLY answer is:
REPEAL Period!
God bless
Signing this bill as it is would be a disaster of “Read my lips” import for him.
Ido think a half-dozen conservative changes woud make it accptable though.
After all Trump promised to repeal but also to replace it. And to continue some parts.
Ryan and the GOP have had 7 years to come up with a plan.
If conservatives are angry, they only have themselves to blame
as they voted for Ryan as Speaker.
If they don’t like the current bill, my suggestion is to get rid of Ryan
and start fresh.
I think Trump is just watching this unfold. I think he is loyal to the people who elected him.
This bill of Ryan’s will show Trump that Ryan does NOT have the interest of the people in mind, and it will give Trump the reason he needs to sideline him. I’m hoping it will also, somehow, expose Ryan for being beholding to the pharmaceutical companies. Just my theory, but he’s in someone’s pocket.....
I have complete faith that Trump will pull through. We’re just so used to duplicitous politicians that it’s going to take some time to get used to someone who isn’t one.
I’ve probably watched 50 Trump rallies and he said “repeal and replace Obamacrae” in every one of them. It was in his platform and it is what he intends to do.
agreed and so good to see.
we have time. ryan can be defeated.
Ryan is a douchebro!
About 98% of the Medicaid patients I've seen for the last few years were able body.
Only a small percentage Americans. (5%ish)
Most from the Middle East. WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR THEM???
Why are people screaming at him.
Like do all of us just think our role is to just sit around making veiled threats at Trump as if his ability veto is an excuse to let the House and Senate slide it through?
This thing doesn’t pass unless our reps VOTE for it. Write them, lobby them, show up to their offices. Dont just depend on a veto and then be in a daily panic because you don’t know what may happen.
“If conservatives are angry, they only have themselves to blame
as they voted for Ryan as Speaker.”
Yup.
Too much laziness all around.
+infinity
TRAITORcare!!!
Sorry, but no to cutting Medicare. People have worked hard & paid into this their whole lives. This is their money.
AMEN
AMEN
I always get the feeling, with his perpetual smirk & the way he holds himself that he fancies himself quite a stud. YUCK!!!! Double YUCK!
What Jim said!
While I have little confidence that this staff generated RyanCARE beast will make it anywhere, much less to the president’s desk, I have even worse confidence in anyone’s ability to predict the end of President Trump. I don’t think this would destroy his administration, nor any legacy of accomplishments.
I’ve seen a mighty lot of predictions of what might end his political career.
I totally agree, Jim.
Most excellent post, JimRob! I agree with every word of it!
