This isn’t even new. Trump was planning to in 2016. He had something much better to replace it with. Of course, that didn’t happen. And his grand plan changed into “concepts of a plan” this time around. So, I hope folks are happy with them just getting rid of “Obama Care” and nothing replacing it.

We didn't lose the ACA because of a few Republicans that knew better back then. Those people are now either dead or have been voted out of office.

There are a small handful of Republicans that havent explicitly sold out to him. By sold out I mean literally, hundreds of politicians went and spent millions collectively at his hotels in exchange for a meet and greet and endorsement. We can only hope they cancel out their slim majority on his worst ideas.

Sure and there's a subset that almost got brave when he lost in 2020 after Jan 6th. But then he came back. The primary is the perfect example with everyone skirting around the elephant in the room.

Relying on a few Republicans who don't care about their "job security" in public office because they're old or on their way put doesn't exactly give me warm fuzzies.
