Sally,
What do you think Republicans should propose to replace the ACA?

Giving aid to Central America to make it better and give them a reason to stay there seems to be a good plan to have fewer come here searching for asylum.
Trump's plan: Cut aid and give them more reason to flee here for safety.
. . . . and thereby extend his national "emergency" and continue to pilfer money legally allocated by Congress to other programs to build his Wall of Ego.
Yeah, let’s cancel 2020 elections because of the “emergency” (low GOP polling numbers).

Which really begs the question - Why is the Trump administration so incompetent at keeping the flow of illegal immigrants down? Apparently, more are pouring in under the Trump administration than at any time during the Obama years.

You do know that exponential growth off of a base of ZERO yields ZERO forever, right?
You do know that, right?

conspiracy minded people will point to the reichstag fire, which the nazis used as a pretext to seize more power.
the Rs in the senate are going along with the reichstag plan so far - awarding trump more and more power by letting him bypass congress to spend money as he wishes.
this is how it goes.

"The Republicans are developing a really great HealthCare Plan with far lower premiums (cost) & deductibles than ObamaCare. In other words it will be far less expensive & much more usable than ObamaCare. Vote will be taken right after the Election when Republicans hold the Senate & win back the House. It will be truly great HealthCare that will work for America," Trump declared in a series of tweets. "Also, Republicans will always support Pre-Existing Conditions. The Republican Party will be known as the Party of Great HealtCare. Meantime, the USA is doing better than ever & is respected again!"
What a crock!
Trump is saying he can't address healthcare this term but elect Republicans and they will get it done next time.
Of course no details no plans whatsoever from Republicans for what to do.
Democrats actually passed the ACA.
They are floating details of plans.
One plan is to allow people to buy into Medicare as an option.
We are supposed to trust Republicans to come up with something after not passing anything when they had the chance and giving no further details of what they may do.
This is a major problem with Trump as president. He gives superlatives of what has happened or will happened with no substance.
A big lying blowhard.
No, that is not the major problem here. The major problem here is that so many people are stupid enough to believe him.
And nobody knows how to solve that underlying problem.
Trumpers are still thinking the Mueller report exonerates Trump, yet they all, including Trump, seem afraid of its release. Odd. I'm speculating, of course, but I think Trump is quite aware that the report will be damning to him and his family. Barr successfully changed the narrative, but only briefly.

Thank you, someone else gets it! The stupidity isn't going anywhere and neither is the racism that people have been hoping would just die out with older generations.
Actually several racists were dumped in the election (40 or 41, if they ever seat someone in NC). And that was with every branch of government trying to appease trump. Trump is too stupid to get out of his own way.
Trump will be gone at some point.
Probably by the next election.
Then I wonder what happens to the Republican party.
Although, Trump losing in 2020 means he could then run in 2024.
I don't know if any one term president has ever run again after losing. Not in a hundred years at least.
I can see Trump losing in 2020, then getting nominated every four years until he dies.
Then getting the nomination even after he dies like Dennis Hof won an election this past fall a month after he died.
Trump owns the Republican party and cannot be replaced.
If that’s the future, it’s no stranger than the present, ha ha.

For the life of me, I still can't understand how Flagpole shows his face around here after being proven wrong so many times. Most people would find another hobby. Or at least something they're better at.
1) I actually have NOT been proven wrong so many times. So far in this investigation I have been proven right several times (about people being indicted, about Cohen flipping, about people being found guilty, etc.). Since there has been proven FELONY cheating with regard to the 2016 election, I have been proven right about that too. You clearly do not understand how to keep score.
2) All of my other predictions regarding Trump are still unresolved. Until we see the Mueller Report in its entirety, we don't know what it says.
3) If I end up being wrong about all of it (which is not possible now since I have been right about many things already), why would that make me stop posting here? You must have a weak sense of value if you can't imagine it. Unlike apparently you, I am not crushed if a prediction I make doesn't come true.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
The Orange One is going to prison (again, unless he dies first, or the crime or aliens thing).

Never say never after what Trump pulled off in 2016, but I believe his dementia is progressing quickly and he will likely not finish his first term. Kush and Ivanka have started paving the way for his resignation or not running in 2020... "he's tired." Once Trump is gone, it'll rain indictments.

disagree. I don't see any mental decline in the porn star president. Seriously. He's fine. Or at least he's the same as he was in 2016. He has declined a lot since say the 1990s, when he was actually an above-average intelligent guy. Something happend to make him stupid. Not sure what that was.

Then there is Manafort, who owed millions to Russians and was dirty as dirty can be. And the head of the trump campaign.
And many trumpers meeting with Russians and then lying about it.
and then firing the head of the FBI in order to stop and investigation.
I mean the smoke was billowing. Come on.
STOP LYING. There wasn't "much, much more." The leaders from the FBI at the time testified that there wasn't. Why are you arguing with their testimony? Are you crazy?
At the time of the Special Counsel investigation appointment, they have testified that there wasn't anything there. You investigate crimes that occurred, and you need a piece of evidence or probable cause to do so. They testified that they did not have that. In fact, they couldn't even define what they were trying to find out.....which is why it was classified as a "counterintelligence" investigation.
Wake up man. You were duped.
SW, sorry, brother, but you are wrong. There were tons of reasons to start the investigation, (probable cause) and your stupid leader Trump decided to fire Comey which rightfully kicked off the Mueller Investigation. If a Democrat President fired the guy looking into potential contacts with Russia, you would want him investigated to, and you would be RIGHT in that case. As it is, you are wrong.
I have said this many times and will say so again...the dumbest thing Trump ever did was run for President. Someone as dirty as him should never have put himself under such a microscope. The second dumbest thing he ever did was to fire Comey. Mueller's investigation has spawned off many other investigations, and Trump's obstructionist behavior this whole time has likely been one of the driving factors behind that...a person who acts like a guilty person is usually guilty.
The financial investigations will be the end of him. The fact he already has been fingered in two felonies alone will put him in prison. He had really better hope the next President is a Republican so that he has a sliver of a chance of receiving a pardon for that. As it is, he will face state charges that no governor will pardon him of.
Mueller is STILL coming.
The clown is done and is going to prison.

Flagpole says that racism will be eradicated. Are you doubting him?
In Arkansas we say, “Racism & roaches ain’t goin’ anywhere.” But you can’t let them take over...

Oh, trying the disingenuous route, huh? Amusing. (Unless you are this stupid. Then it's sad.)
Of course you don't need crimes for a counter-intelligence investigation. They should be going on at all times, without publicity. But Special Counsel requirements are to specifically investigate criminal actions/matters. Which means you need evidence of a crime. Which they did not have.
SO, despite having ZERO evidence of a crime, they appointed a Special Counsel to do counter-intelligence work.
Un-prec-e-dent-ed.
Aaaaaand what came of it all? That's right. NOTHING. Just as I told you it would.
GAME OVER.
You should probably stop. Agip is destroying you here because it is clear you don't know what you're talking about. How can the game be over when we haven't seen the Mueller Report AND there are at least 17 other investigations going on into anything that Trump has touched ever, and that doesn't even include the $25 million he had to pay to the former students of Trump University that he defrauded?
You back a criminal who cheated to win a Presidential election (his two FELONY CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATIONS is cheating on a FELONIOUS level). You back a guy who lies to you at a record level. You have proven over and over again that you don't understand how investigations work. You back a guy who is a grifter and will have his whole financial world come crumbling down and will ultimately go to prison for his crimes. On top of all that he's a racist, a sexist, a misogynist, and a huge a$$hole who doesn't know his own from a hole in the ground.
Would you have taken the word of Loretta Lynch if she summarized in 4 pages a 300+ page report into an investigation of Obama? Of course you wouldn't have. I wouldn't have either because I have 100% integrity 100% of the time. Find some integrity, brother. I'll let you blow the whistle when the game is indeed over. It's not even close now.
