If only they really meant it. But I don’t believe a word they say. How many years have they been promising to repeal obamacare? This must be getting their talking points out early. “Vote for our rino selection for president and we’ll repeal obamacare. We really mean it this time.”

"But I don’t believe a word they say. How many years have they been promising to repeal obamacare?"

Boehner and McConnell lied about repealing unconstitutional Obamacare to win votes from low-information patriots because of the following situation. As a consequence of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, even after three election cycles low-information voters have failed to elect the 2/3 conservative majority in each House of Congress necessary to override a presidential veto to repeal Obamacare.

Basically same problem with Congress trying to defund Obamacare.

Also, the Senate cannot remove a House-impeached Obama from office because the Senate doesn’t have the constitutionally required 2/3 majority votes to do so.

Note that if state lawmaker’s hadn’t ratified the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, foolishly giving up the voices of state lawmakers in Congress by doing so, effectively repealing the whole Constitution as a consequence, then the Senate would probably have killed most bills that established unconstitutional taxing an spending programs like Obamacare.

The 17th amendment needs to disappear, and a bunch of corrupt senators along with it.
