In regards to Obamacare, which republican mistakes should I be itemizing? Democrats pretty much shut the republicans out of the healthcare debate when they came up with obamacare.
I was royally pissed off at how Democrats did Obamacare. I was still a Republican then. But I'm not a Republican anymore because as bad as Democrats were, Republicans were worse. And Republicans still have no ideas for how to achieve what Trump promised. Trump called what Republicans offered "mean" but he was going to sign it, because all he wanted was to break Obamacare. He would agree to anything that Republicans could get through both houses.
I certainly do not hold the republicans blameless this many years later. They campaigned on repeal and replace for 7 years. Then when in 2016, they got the chance with Trump's election, they **** their pants. They initially planned on doing nothing because they had bought into the Russian collusion hoax and thought Trump would be gone in six months. Then when that did not happen, they still barely could work up the spine to vote on any form of repeal and replace. Adn when they did, it was tanked by that Arizona turd, John McCain. And Trump had little choice. the only way to make Obamacare go away was to sign whatever version of repeal and replace(minus the mandates) could make it through congress. and then get congress on both sides to tweak it.When that failed, he pushed the republicans to do the next best thing and repeal the individual mandate. I said at the time, it would be the beginning of the end of Obamacare and that now appears to be the case. When Obamacare goes away, the democrats will not have the political power to recreate it. Andy replacement healthcare bill will now have to be worked out with both parties, which should have been done to begin with. When Obamacare was signed into law, it was a one party bill with no political cover. That is what broke it. It is asinine for you to now attempt to put the onus on Trump and the republicans.
