Scott says the next phase is “competent but we hate it.”
How’s that selective editing working out for you?
You learned your lessons well from the fakestream presstitutes.
Trump has other ways to sink 0-care w/o Ryno.
Here’s his first EO:
Sec. 2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) and the heads of all other executive departments and agencies (agencies) with authorities and responsibilities under the Act shall exercise all authority and discretion available to them to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement of the Act that would impose a fiscal burden on any State or a cost, fee, tax, penalty, or regulatory burden on individuals, families, healthcare providers, health insurers, patients, recipients of healthcare services, purchasers of health insurance, or makers of medical devices, products, or medications. For more information:
www.whitehouse.gov.
Second, if you want to get rid of a bad law enforce it. Certainly lift the exemptions for 0-care with respect to congress and government employees (except military)
Make sure that IRS is not enforcing the individual penalty for non government citizens. Have a team review IRS data and claims. If someone is assessed by IRS agent to pay penalty, stop them. Also, set up mechanism whereby individuals can claim a hardship and allow all hardship claims to be honored and penalty claims to be dropped. Do this a few times and IRS agents won’t bother.
Trump should go to the governors and ask States to come up with their own ideas and grant any exemption and waiver especially if it weakens 0-care.
I do believe that 0-care will collapse if the mandates are not enforced. BTW, do you think that citizens would object if 0-care is selectively enforced on government employees and not citizens? Especially since Congress that has had the exemption for 7 years?
Ryno lost it was his bill and he’s basically in the enemy camp. He dug his hole deeper by saying that 0-care will stay thus demonstrating his weakness and incompetence. Great admissions that prove the need for a new Speaker.
DJT lost nothing. He gained destruction of a never-Trumper.
California governor Jerry Brown was incessant with his description of Trump as an “illegitimate president” after Election Day. He’s been so quiet in the last two months that I was wondering if he died. That’s because he needed to beg that “illegitimate president” for billions of dollars in disaster relief money to cope with the floods in his state. You’re going to see the same thing happen on a national scale.
Please feel free to more coherent.
Which nevertrumper are you talking about?
Ryan
Freedom. Aucus was correct with non-support.
GOPe was exposed as the frauds that they are.
Democrats forced to wear the albatross that is Obamacare.
Obamacare will self-destruct allowing for a workable replacement.
Mr. Trump likes to keep a lot of balls in the air. He knows most deals fall through, and he works on the one that’s most profitable at the time. The thing that stands out about this to me is how quickly it happened - with anybody else it would have dragged out much longer, with nobody willing to concede that it was a standoff, maybe for weeks longer. Trump said no, we’re not doing that, we either have the votes or we don’t let’s move on.
LMAO. I love that guy’s infectious optimism. I am convinced that the Hindenburg crashed only because Donald Trump wasn’t there to save the day.
He examines things and offers opinion far outside of conventional thought and I will be the first to admit that he is often correct when you examine it in hindsight despite your skepticism and disbelief when you first read it.
...
Adam’s makes me reconsider how Trump took ownership of Ryan’s bill. Trump immediately said he supported it 100% and that he would primary anybody who voted against it. And now that it’s failed Trump doesn’t seem too terribly upset at the outcome.
I can see that at least positioning to say he tried - while most of the blame goes to Ryan - could be a strategy, risky but Trump understands risk. Isn’t tax reform somewhat connected to health insurance reform?
But yes, when Obamcare blows up is a better opportunity so why didn’t we wait on this? Did Trump want Ryan to own the failure?
We need a Speaker not owned by the GOPe - maybe this is what Trump is really after.
Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, is it?
I followed Scott through the election process.Only his take on what was going on keep me sane.He said Trump would win when everyone else snickered.I trust his analysis and in fact revel in it.Go Scott.
Trump Shrugged.
A two word paragraph right there.
Trump really didn’t have the option of waiting for Obamacare to fail. He had the get behind SOMETHING early on — even if he knew it would fail — because he had campaigned hard on it.
Trump also won by controlling the agenda. He choose Obamacare as the first big issue to tackle and now he can say “Well, I lost, so it must not have been that important” and move on. This may make him look incompetent as Adams says, but it’s a Get Out Of Jail Free card with regard to Obamacare. If he’s right that it is going to continue failing and causing pain on people, even those who hate Trump will remember one thing: he tried to fix it but the Republicans in the House wouldn’t let him.
So now who doesn’t understand that the House Republicans were the biggest losers yesterday?
Misspoke. It is good for the country, if only by reducing the hysteria racing heading toward civil war.
Yeah, if you think the media won’t hang the failure around Trump’s neck for all time, you’re not paying attention, LOL. They do not care about Ryan. They want to take down the threat to their comfortable power structure.
