He has done a lot of good shit. However, they are only EOs...
His healthcare ordeal was a big failure on his part. "best healthcare" and he is "a great deal maker" but couldn't get it passed? Come on..
That was the plan was to undo the EOs he ran on that. The healthcare thingy, not his fault. Sorry, I'll disagree with you there.
Very true. But everything he has done, aside from gutting previous EOs, are done with EOs. EOs aren't meant to have legislative powers like presidents use them for. Abuse of power, if you will.
He backed the plan that couldn't even get passed with party approval. He talked ALOT of shit about him being a good deal maker and he has the best healthcare. It is totally on him.
he errored a bit there, me, I would have had them put through the entire package up front and let the dems take it down. He didn't do that. he actually only had those two options unless you got some other path he could have taken.
as for the deal making, he didn't have the necessary leverage on the congress. he just doesn't. He will have to take it to the people as Reagan had to. Congress people feel obligated to their constituents, and now he'll have to have the constituents tell them how to deal with obummerfail.
The Republicans who voted against Trumpcare did so at the behest of their constituents who flat out told them that if they passed this POS legislation, and took their Obamacare away from the millions who now have coverage, they would not be re-elected in 2018.
The Affordable Care Act has already saved thousands of lives, and given affordable coverage to millions who previously didn't qualify because of pre-existing conditions. Trumpcare would have allowed these people to keep their coverage at triple the cost of Obamacare, and no subsidies.
