Reach across the aisle and slap Pelosi and Schumer.

When Donald John Trump stood for the first time as the 45th President of the United States in a light rain to deliver his address, he went where no president has gone in more than a century.

In 16 mostly harsh, mostly confrontational minutes, Trump laid out a view of America’s destiny and place in the world that would alienate his predecessors dating back to Theodore Roosevelt and beyond. It may go down as one of the most consequential—or one of the most misleading—speeches in the history of presidential inaugurations.

Newly sworn into office, Trump announced a U-turn in the foreign policy that has defined America’s place in the world for more than 70 years. And while he was at it, he savaged the record and the motives of a large number of the men and women seated around him on the West Front of the Capitol. For all his reputation as a builder, he entered office as a wrecking ball.

His choice of Vice President Mike Pence and his Cabinet appointments have been sharply conservative, but President Trump’s first message to the world was as radical as they come, and as populist as a pitchfork. If he truly means what he said (always a pertinent question for a fellow who once said he enjoys being compared to P.T. Barnum), Washington is about to become even more rancorous. And the world is in for some very big—and entirely unpredictable—changes.

President Obama did reach across the isle on the ACA - but all Republicans said NO. Now, Democrats have offered to help fix Obamacare if Republicans stop trying to kill it.

Democrats should NOT go near TrumpCare!

So obiecare was a stinking pile of shit and yo think the dems should not try to make it better by starting over again.

Don't kill the shit bill! That would be bad.

In the WSJ, Peggy Noonan's weekly opinion piece advocates for an attempt by Trump to invite the Democrats to write and support the new Health Care Insurance policy. If enough Dems buy in then the blame for failure rests partly with them, as does the credit if it works better than the ACA. If the Dems won't help then at least the GOP has reason to blame them for being obstructionists.

Right now the Repubs look like crap trying to put together a bill that probably won't get past the Senate anyway, and they're going to look like fools. Instead they should be focusing on the priorities that will get them re-elected in 2018; if they do them soon enough to make a difference they can probably keep their jobs but they'll get kicked out of office if they don't. I am referring to tax reform, infrastructure, anything that gets the economy moving. If Trump doesn't get those new jobs created then he's toast and so is the GOP.

It looks to me like right now Trump and the GOP are trying to fix HC the same way the Dems did under Obama - unilaterally without any buy-in from the other side. And the Dems paid a heavy price for that mistake too, the Repubs tied them to the ACA failures and as a result took back the House, then the Senate, and then the WH. I can see the reverse happening down the road if the Repub version of HCI fails (which I think it will) and they don't get the necessary things done to create jobs and boost the economy.

Reach Across the Aisle, Mr. President

Reach across the isle Mr. President, just like Obama reached across the aisle to pass the ACA.

Dems aren't required to reach across the aisle. Only Rs are.

The DEM's already wrote the current ACA law.

Why would they want to change anything ??

The myth that "ACA is broken" is strictly junk news from the GOP.

Are you, and anarchist, defending the biggest piece of statist crap ever to come down the pike?.

No, I oppose the PPACA and posted just yesterday that it is critically broken.

I'm sick of justifying myself to an authority worshipping statist though. You are pathetic, and have nothing better to do than lash out with logical fallacies and outright falsehoods.

You just got done blaiming Republicans for it. You defend Hillary and the statists every time you post. Who do you think you're fooling?

The alt-right is a rebranding of white nationalists and others who embrace white identity politics and has been associated with racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and misogyny. Steve Bannon is now president Trump's chief strategist and a member of the National Security Council's Principals Committee.

Leftists can't talk about politics without smears and falsehoods about opposition.

You're a douche bag.

End of story.

if mr drumpf didn't intend to be so divisive he wouldn't have jumped into bed with white supremacists.

He didn't, douche bag.

I'm so happy that the budget for NPR is going to be cut.

I didn't see a single editorial suggesting the president Hussein "reach across the isle" when he said "republicans can come along for the ride but they have to sit in the back". The fact is that democrats know that Obamacare is in a free fall and President Trump has reached out for their input but democrats continue to play by the old 60's looser playbook and pretend that they are bystanders while Americans know better.

I love watching the failed leftists begging, and pleading to included in the dialogue. Even in, defeat they seek to be included, and have influence in the power structure.

Can you explain how DumBama was reaching across the isle when every single Republican was against government takeover of healthcare?

Democrats believe that reaching across the isle means Republicans doing things their way; nothing more and nothing less. So when Democrats have power, do things the Democrat way, and when Republicans have power, do things the Democrat way.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

The PPACA had like 450 provisions written by Republicans, which is how they got it passed.

A compromise with Democrats on the Republican healthcare bill would involve keeping the medicaid expansion and retaining funding for planned parenthood, which couldn't work unless they restored some of the taxes or mandates. Strategically I think the Democrats should just oppose the bill altogether though.

They will, and that's why nothing will get done.

If Republicans could get some unity in their party and if we had a 60 vote majority in the Senate, we probably could get a pretty good healthcare bill passed, at the very least, a hell of a lot better than Commie Care.

But Commie Care was never designed to lower costs, insure every American, and bring better healthcare to people. It was designed to create as many new government dependents as possible. It was purely political.

So now we have a mess on our hands. Deductibles so high that even buying insurance would be like not having insurance at all, premiums skyrocketing; some doubled this year alone, and most of the people on Commie Care are either on Medicaid or getting part or most of their premiums paid by us taxpayers.
