GOP lawmakers root against Trump in court on ObamaCare

Senate Republicans are privately rooting against President Trump in his court battle to strike down the Affordable Care Act.

GOP lawmakers worry that if Trump wins, Congress won’t be able to pass anything to replace ObamaCare — and they’ll pay for it at the ballot box.

Republicans generally agree that President Obama’s signature health care law has serious flaws, but they realize getting rid of it while Democrats control the House would leave a vacuum in place of protections for people with pre-existing medical conditions, insurance subsidies and expanded Medicaid.

“If you’re looking strictly at political outcomes, it could be argued that a lot of members don’t want to see this struck down because they don’t want to deal with the fallout,” said a senior Republican senator.

In other words Republicans have no balls, backbone or whatever to stand to to Trump.

Rick Scott openly hates President Barrack Obama as much as trump, and he is more than happy to let poor people die. And rick phucking Scott can turn Florida into a green slimy death trap and (steal) get a senate seat.
