Schumer: President Trump just admitted his nominee will strike down the Affordable Care Act.

Obamacare will be replaced with a MUCH better, and FAR cheaper, alternative if it is terminated in the Supreme Court. Would be a big WIN for the USA!

including at the SCOTUS. And this tweet makes no mention of of the new pick -- or her potential vote.
Schumer is playing a little rope-a-dope with the President and his tweets.

Hammer away at this fact and the end of roe v wade. That is how we win over enough Obama Trump voters.

I hope Joe calls him "Donald" during the debates, but I don't think he will . He has far too much respect for the US and its institutions than the current "occupier".

I remember when W went ballistic when someone didn't call him "Sir". He looked so petty and foolish.

Anyways, Chuck should just call him Trump.

Its gonna be the only way the ignorant begin to learn what they have actually wrought.
Its gonna have to be so through and so documented and so prosecuted that not even fox news will be able to spin it.

EVERY CRIME.

My reason is that even now, there are otherwise smart people who think 'well, other than some of the things he says on twitter, trump has actually done a very good job in his first term.'

Yes, that's an EXACT QUOTE (from one of my bosses). This fiction must be utterly destroyed before we can move on.

If 200 thousand dead Americans haven't done it, were probably gonna have to put his fatass in prison before they start to get it.

And that's how we get back to the beginning of this post.

that accept his promise of better health care at face value when he has put forth no tangible plan.

And, they don't even question it.

There are people right now that are getting most of an ~$1400 per month health insurance policy subsidized through the Healthcare Exchange that will have to start paying that entire amount themselves once the ACA is gone. Only then will the screaming start for these horrifically stupid people.
