Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

I have been agreeing with Frum a lot in the past couple months.

I really think the Trump era could bring together sensible Dems and Reps. There will always be wedge issues like abortion and guns, but reasonable people can find common ground to stand firm for good government against Trumpism.

A common quote is something like "I can't wait for Trump to be gone so I can stop agreeing with (fill in name of conservative pundit)."

I'm not yet tired of all the winning Mr. Trump. Please make me tired

The real reason this failed: Obamacare is better than anything the Republicans have come up with.

well ok

I'd go with something slightly different.

The real reason this failed: Republicans can't unite around a vision of healthcare. Some of them genuinely feel that 'freedom' is more important than healthcare. In other words, they think the ability NOT to have healthcare is the most important thing.

So that group of conservative Republicans refused to go along with any plan that moved against that vision of freedom.

This is an example of why it's great having an outsider in the WH. It is clear who stopped this from being voted on. Trump can say "everyone saw what happened" now. He can blame it on the freedom Republicans.

Meanwhile, the Keystine Pipeline initiative moved forward today, totally under the radar.

are you trying to spin this as a win for the president in some way? cause that's nuts. The GOP has been promising a repeal of Obamacare for seven years. It's been their #1 promise. Ryan and Turnip threw their entire weight behind this bill. it got destroyed. Congress called Trump's bluff and congress won.

This is nothing but a massive defeat.

This is a huge win for President Trump.

If people are still dissatisfied with their health care next November, they know who should be blamed: Obama.

I would not say the Keystone initiative was totally under the radar. And aside from how much press coverage it is getting now, I guarantee it will get more coverage once the sabateurs get to work (hopefully).

the ACA is 50/50 on popularity. Not great, but that's the nature of public programs.

Only 18% want a full repeal

So shouldn't be a problem for Dems. And anyway, Repubs own healthcare - they own everything. they are congress and WH.

Trump is blaming the democrats, you can't make this stuff up:

You are "doing a Donald".

(lying)

Yes HUGE win for Trump.

What would you have said if the bill went through?

Let me guess..........Huge win for Trump?

The real reason Trump lost.

The Koch brothers. They said they would support any Republican who voted against the bill.

Donald does not lie. He speaks Americanese.

The liberal elites in the bubble do not understand his language. But the hard working forgotten men do.

Yes, health care reform was such a YUGE win for Trump, I can't wait to see the YUGE results of his next project: tax reform.

Let's see if he can take a 20 trillion debt and make it 40 trillion in the next couple years (or however long he has left). Remember that he is the self-proclaimed "King of Debt."

Trumpettes are NOT Americans!

they came up with a bill hated by almost everyone.

wow

major loss for trump and ryan.

Hold yer horses now, they only had 7 YEARS to come up with something better!

Trump issued permit for Keystone today!! And Charter Communications pledged MASSIVE investments in U.S. totally eliminating offshore activities!! MAGA

so. 35 permanent jobs from a pipeline made with foreign steel, and taking credit for a jobs announcement from Charter made years ago.

Standard trump. sickening.

Lock her up! Repeal and replace!

He was going to develop a plan to destroy ISIS in his first 30 days in office.

He was going to release his tax returns after the audit.

He was going to do a major investigation to show millions voted illegally.

Instead we learned his opinion of a musical play, his opinion on how Arnold lowered the ratings on a reality show, baseless claims that Obama wiretapped the Trump Towers. tweets about losing citizenship or jail time for burning a flag ect.

Totally under the radar, on the cover section of the NYTimes.

Time for someone to buy a new radar.
