McCarthy Tells Trump to Back Off on Obamacare

Reflecting widespread concerns within his party, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has told President Trump he disagrees with the Trump administrations attempt to get the entire Affordable Care Act thrown out in court, Axios reports.
McCarthy told Trump over the phone that the decision made no sense especially after Democrats killed Republicans in the midterms in part over the issue of pre-existing conditions.
McCarthy is far from alone in this view. Republican lawmakers and officials are exasperated about the Justice Departments position and about Trumps substance-free declaration that Republicans will become The Party of Healthcare.'

(576 posts)And it failed miserably. The Rethugs promised to cover pre-existing conditions while trying to destroy the ACA on a federal level.
Nobody can take this seriously, even the Rethugs know that most people will not beleive their greedy treasonous lies.

<<There are many ways to Donald Trumps heart, from a quick 18 holes in wet and windy conditions to a segment on Fox News. But House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, seen recently standing behind Trump as he promised he was not a racist and bragged about going to the best colleges, has an extra level of access. He spends time with the president, he pays attention, and he learns what will really get the man on his side: Starbursts. But only the red and pink ones.....
Per a profile by The Washington Post, during an Air Force One trip with Trump, McCarthy saw that the president favored only the cherry and strawberry Starbursts from a jar of multiple flavorsyou know, just like a scrutinizing elementary schooler or Van Halen member might. McCarthy, whos been doing his best to keep making #MAGA a thing lately, arranged a special gift for 45: a jar of only the red and pink Starbursts.
...Later, McCarthy had a staffer sort through the pile, placing only those two flavors in a jar, The Post said. The jar, with McCarthys name on the side, later arrived at the White House to a grinning Trumponly the red and the pink ones; how exciting!
Please nobody tell this poor staffer that a trip to Target could have saved him an afternoons work; a bag of red and pink Starburst only is available for less than $2.99, no additional labor required.>>

(4,018 posts)The entire "ACA Take-Down" suggestion/story by the ADministration is a scam. They have no expectation they can repeal the ACA.
They just need a bigger fight to peel away as much focus and attention of Dems and Independent's
Plain and simple it's a lie. They are horrified about what is in the Mueller Report and will start ANY fight rather than deal head-on with what's in that report.
I'll bet a dollar to a donut. (what can I say, I like donuts).

(4,941 posts)the orange pustule is going to do what he wants to do, which is undo everything good that PRESIDENT OBAMA did, because he is also an impotent little weasel. There is nothing you can do about that.
Oh, and about that call for Schiff to resign is committee leadership...good luck with that you impotent little weasel you!

(6,881 posts)Think it's more a Great White Hope thing. He hates anyone honored and respected more than he will ever be. Like still trying to prove he's greater than McCain. "I'm not a fan. Never will be." Weird nut job who still thinks Obama's an alien too.
