Trump: 'Republican Senators are total quitters' if they abandon ObamaCare repeal

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Saturday blasted Senate Republicans for giving up the fight on healthcare, saying that senators should demand another vote before any other legislation is considered.

"Unless the Republican Senators are total quitters, Repeal & Replace is not dead!" Trump tweeted Saturday.

"Demand another vote before voting on any other bill!" he added.

"If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!" he added.

screw this guy, we can get rid of him and go with pence. If Trump support by his base erodes a bit further, more and more gop will be emboldened to do so.

The House has left already, the Senate is leaving Wednesday, too.

Trump is really, truly 'trolling' us now.

require *60* votes, not 50 + 1 as they only get one chance to vote on reconciliation with the House during a fiscal year. They blew the wad two nights ago.

Trump spent ZERO time trying to convince ANYONE that his "wealthcare" plan was the best idea. He KNEW it was a piece of crap, but continued to ask for it anyway. And that's all he WAS ASK, or demanded really, he didn't try to sell it to the American people (if it was SOOOOOO good!) he just played golf, watched TV, ate two scoops - often, and stirred up trouble with EVERYONE within his orbit.

He's a lazy bag of shit.
