UPDATE: 1:05 p.m.:

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he plans to "let Obamacare fail," saying Democrats would be willing to work with Republicans on replacing it after it crashes.

"I think we're probably in that position where we'll just let Obamacare fail. We're not gonna own it. I'm not gonna own it," Trump told reporters. "We'll let Obamacare fail and then Democrats are going to come to us."

ORIGINAL STORY:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday blamed “a few Republicans” and “all of the Democrats” for the break down in Senate negotiations to repeal and replace Obamacare, pledging that efforts to make good on the GOP campaign promise will continue.

“We were let down by all of the Democrats and a few Republicans. Most Republicans were loyal, terrific & worked really hard. We will return!” Trump wrote on Twitter Tuesday morning. In a second post, the president hinted at his next strategy, writing, “as I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!”

1. He's right FOR ONCE...

we stopped the fuckers............for now...

We need to re-group, clean our weapons, get resupplied, get a good night's sleep, in shifts of course, then march back up to the front lines...

2. Trump needs to look in the mirror. It failed because he failed to close the deal.

3. Good Job, Dems!!!

[Coventina]

4. Oh brother. No, you idiot, they DEFENDED THEIR law that they worked very hard to get passed.

[Metro135]

5. Most Republicans worked hard . . .

and no doubt tirelessly to deprive over 20 million people of health insurance and condemn thousands to unnecessary deaths.

How proud they must be.

6. He got tired of winning already?

Well he's brought back so many coal mining and factory jobs, and built a great wall and made Mexico pay for it. You can't expect him to do everything himself you entitled snowflakes. He's busy making America great again like it was back in the 1930s.

Shart of the deal

7. GOP falsely claims that the democrats have no plan.

GOP falsely claims that the democrats have no plan.

Hillary put that lie to rest but they still spew their nonsense.

January 16, 2017 Fox News

President-elect Donald Trump revealed in an interview with The Washington Post that he’s almost finished with a plan to replace ObamaCare and vowed to have “insurance for everybody."

---

The president-elect insisted that his plan for replacing the Affordable Healthcare Act is all but finished, and added that care would have “lower numbers, much lower deductibles.” He went as far to say that he’s ready to reveal it alongside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

9. "Loyal"

Where have I heard that before, as something Trump claims he neither requires nor asks for?

[FakeNoose]

10. Why isn't he blaming Hillary?

I mean, isn't EVERYTHING her fault?

[BumRushDaShow]

11. The media refuse to add that Democrats picked up 2 seats in the Senate in 2016

so that changed the dynamics a bit since that 2015 repeal vote.

[LiberalLovinLug]

12. So he 'blames' Democrats for not torpedoing their own healthcare bill?

One that insured millions more?
Seriously....does he expect anyone to go along with that. The implication that it is the Democrats that want to take away peoples new shiny Trumpcare health bill where everyone will be insured and it will be cheaper?


......oh right, 80% of Republican voters will.

13. It's never Donny the dumbfuck's fault
