Trump's announcement on Monday that Republicans won’t vote on an Obamacare alternative until after 2020 revealed the White House’s confusion on a top issue that is likely to play a huge role in the 2020 congressional and presidential elections

When it comes to President Donald Trump’s plans to replace Obamacare, one about face has followed another.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the president on Monday to inform him that with Nancy Pelosi running the House, there would be no GOP Senate vote on a substitute health plan for Obamacare as McConnell seeks to win reelection and bolster the chances of a handful of incumbents whose races will determine the majority.

Trump’s rare reversal acknowledged dual political realities: One is that House Democrats are extremely unlikely to pass any Republican-backed health care bill. Perhaps more important, health care is a toxic issue for Republicans, who have repeatedly failed to unite behind an Obamacare alternative that would necessarily be hugely complex and filled with difficult compromises.

He is a political disaster!

Political disaster..

This guys is a butt

MAGA & ITMFA

He IS the political disaster

He is a political disaster

Trump is the political disaster.

'Courting a political disaster' is the man's nom de guerre.

Trump is the walking disaster.

Nope

The Republicans are going down with the S.S.Trumptanic in 2020, after they hit the healthcare iceberg!

Come on Trump show some balls close the borders take 20 million people off of healthcare what could possibly go wrong.

Don’t for one second think he has a plan for healthcare or intends to come up with one!

Hey, maybe that windmill can make enough noise to fix the problem.

There has been more than enough time for POTUS and Republicans to craft a replacement plan. They need to put up or shut up. It’s annoying.

And doing nothing on healthcare helped so much in the last election !

Ok this is Crazy. Mick Mulvaney says Trump you’re our Propaganda machine, Kill Healthcare, then Stephen Miller yells border kill Immigrants, Create Crisis, then Trump Listens & spends the week threatening Americans. WHO IS RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE? SADDDDD

Translated: the Republicans don’t have a plan for healthcare, they have never had a plan, and have no intention of formulating one.

DT has no idea what he is doing, the rest of the world thinks he joke , he wanted a Nobel prize 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

. Logically, it's the savvy political gambit. With the healthcare debate tabled, awareness for border security, strong economy, and trade deficits shrinking... .realDonaldTrump is taking away the .DNC talking points in the run up to the 2020PresidentialElection.

This is nothing more than a con for the 2020 election, just like Trump’s introduction of a 10% tax cut for the middle class before the 2018 midterms. GOP didn’t know what he was talking about then and they don’t know what he is talking about now. TrumpLies

Holy cow, Don is a political disaster.

DID SOMEBODY SAY CAKE ?

AND YET, the Dumb-ass still didn't want to listen!! Hey Donny...don't shut down the Government!! Hey, Donny, don't shut the Mexican border!! Hey Donny, don't have a meeting with Kim J U, he will make you look the fool!! The Dumb-ass is just too dumb, and you cover for him.

Trump is a political disaster.

Mexico will pay for the GOP Healthcare Plan 😂😂😂

President Mitch McConnell told halfwit Donald Trump that his Obamacare idea was impossible. Trump supporters are so stupid they'll think there's a reason to wait until 2020, when the reason is just that people will forget by then.

2020 Democrats rally around Obamacare amid Trump's new bid to kill health care lawPresident Donald Trump's latest escalation of his years-long bid to kill Obamacare has given Democrats running for president in 2020 a new opening to assail Trump -- and to sell their own visions of expanded health coverage. He's throwing another distraction CNN deflecting? Changing the topic? The Fake News Network Democrat shills scrambling as their ratings drop to new lows. Fox News now doubles CNN and MSNBC combined. That’s what happens when Networks lie. You mean Trump is trying to kill millions of people and get a genocide of his very own
