GOP senators blindsided by Trump on ObamaCare

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican lawmakers were caught completely off guard by President Trump’s renewed push to repeal and replace ObamaCare and privately complain it’s a dumb political strategy heading into the 2020 election.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), whose panel has jurisdiction over health care, said he received no heads-up from Trump or the White House that the president would call Tuesday for the GOP to become “the party of health care.”

“I don’t think there was any heads-up on anything that he was going to say,” said Grassley, who added that he didn’t even know Trump was meeting with the GOP conference on Tuesday until Monday night.

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the chairman of another key panel that handles health care, said he didn’t know about Trump’s new health care push until the president tweeted about it at 11:58 a.m. Tuesday, shortly before he walked into a Republican conference lunch to announce it in person.

Sounds like Trump is talking through his ass again. There is no plan.

3. No they are not. It's a game to them, playing with people lives.

Now GOPers are concerned. Nope. 2020 is coming up and that's all the GOPers care about.

4. Now that they know, they'll fall in line.

5. Sorry, but after 2 years of clockwork orange's residency, no one is allowed to claim "blind"

They knew the gangster they were inserting into my democracy.
