Donald Trump has resorted to what he knows best, extortion. He is now threatening the jobs of any Republican that does not vote to repeal Obamacare.
Donald Trump is one man along with a few of his minions forcing Republicans to kill Obamacare. Millions of Americans can show them who is the boss.
Politico reported the following.
President Donald Trump arrived on Capitol Hill Tuesday morning with a stern message for Republicans who’ve been wobbly about dismantling Obamacare: Give me your vote or you may lose your seat in 2018.
During a closed-door meeting with the House GOP conference, the president gave a full-throated endorsement to the House repeal bill that will come to the floor for a vote on Thursday. He warned that if Republicans don’t pass the bill, “I honestly think many of you will lose your seats in 2018.”
Trump even called out the bill’s most vocal critic in the House, Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), who’s led the conservative opposition to the Republican health care plan. “Mark, I’m gonna come after you” if he keeps it up, Trump said, according to multiple sources.
The sources cautioned that Trump may have been “half joking,” as one put it. He winked and he smiled at Meadows, and acknowledged the congressman was a strong supporter of his campaign.
But singling out Meadows in front of his colleagues sent a clear message: Trump wants him to get in line. And fast.
Recently Seth Meyer’s piece took both Donald Trump and Paul Ryan to task with a perfectly deconstructed attack on all that is wrong with Trumpcare in a Jon Stewartesque manner.
Donald Trump and Paul Ryan are playing with the lives of every poor and middle-class American. As MSNBC’s Ali Velshi explained, the free market simply does not work for health insurance, period. Chuck Todd recently pointed out that the new plan decimates coverage for all but mostly to the Trump voter.
