Washington (CNN)In an Oval Office meeting featuring several leaders of conservative groups already lining up against the House Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, President Donald Trump revealed his plan in the event the GOP effort fails: Allow Obamcare to fail and let Democrats take the blame, sources at the gathering told CNN.

During the hour-long meeting, sources said Trump chastised the groups -- including Club for Growth, the Heritage Foundation, Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks and the Tea Party Patriots -- for calling the House GOP proposal "Obamacare lite," warning the tea party activists, "you are helping the other side."

In true Trump fashion, the President jumped into salesman mode, sources at the meeting said.

"This is going to be great. You're going to make it even greater," the President told the group. "I'm going to work hard to get it done."

2. Where's the 'threat' on our governments OFFICIAL records? Repub.tax free, charity ORGs, aren't GOV

Where is it Republicans? Can't you get your president to do his job? 2 months in and you can't even finish the damn transition without your RW Charity clubs writing/doing YOUR job for you.

3. Blame Democrats??? Democrats should TAKE CREDIT for blocking him.

This would be a victory for the American people and Dems should shout it from the roof tops.

A failure by T and the GOP might actually empower Dems and make Obamacare even MORE popular and harder to screw with.

4. If their "plan" passes, and Trumpelthinskin SIGNS IT INTO LAW, then

We should hang the ensuing catastrophe around his neck.

[DownriverDem]

5. No trumpy

If this disgusting health care bill passes, the repubs own it. If it doesn't pass, folks will praise the Dems and anyone else who made it happen. The so called president is an ignorant dumb ass.

6. Hasn't anyone informed the degenerate

that the ACA has never had as much support as it does right now - in the face of it being taken away? I'm guessing not.

7. No you won't.

This flop is all yours, Trumpfuck.

[Initech]

8. Not this time, asshole!!!

We've had enough of your bullshit!

[okieinpain]

9. i think he means that if trumpcare doesn't

pass they (repugs) will hamstring obamacare until it completely falls apart and say see dems screwed you.

[KewlKat]

10. yes, i agree with you.

They dont care about what they are doing to our citizens. Its all about winning to the Con. He's said that. He doesn't like to lose or back down. The harm he's doing is irrelevant. Its the win in his warped little mind.

11. I hope he does! That will be very helpful in 2018.

[Corgigal]

12. Yawn

We don't care, you're popularity numbers sink every day. You're close to be a joke, even if you're the last to know.

13. It's not Obamacare anymore.... It's Trumpcare/Republicare.

[BainsBane]

14. That only works for voters who can't count

and have missed the fact the GOP controls congress. But yeah, it will work with deplorables. Just not anyone else.
