Trump voters hammer his multiple failures: A slogan doesn't cut it for me anymore hes had 9 monthsBRAD REED

CNN had another panel of Trump voters to talk about the president on Wednesday morning, and they were running out of patience for his failure to make any progress on making positive change for the country.
Trump voter Mark OBrien, reflecting upon the Republican Partys recent failure to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, said that while Trump was good at coming up with catchy slogans, he hasnt shown that he knows how to negotiate and govern. The slogan doesnt cut it for me anymore, OBrien said. Hes had nine months.
Trump voter Jordan Jacquay similarly noted that repeal and replace was more of a slogan than a plan, as evidenced by the fact that the Republican Party had no concrete replacement plan for the Affordable Care Act ready to go despite vowing to repeal it for the past seven years.
You cant replace Obamacare with something thats not going to cover preexisting conditions, Jacquay explained. And its why, so far, Republicans have been unsuccessful.

the wealthiest become even wealthier. The redumbliCONs problem is huge numbers of people are paying attention and they will not be allowed to get away with murder.

he can have a baby faster than he can negotiate a major deal.

You don't like to call people "stupid", but after Reagan and two Bushes, how many goddamned times are GOP voters going to continually fall for this directionless Three Card Monte?

them, about getting them more affordable insurance. It has always been about removing the 3.8% bump in capital gains taxes that the billionaires must pay for the ACA.
