(and he almost certainly did, since he watches them slavishly), he's soiling his Underoos.

The ACA needs a lot of funding, they will also administratively make it a mess. By another year, healthcare under the ACA might legitimately be a disaster.

This is a moral victory of sorts...but it's encouraging that the calls and protests got the moderates scared.

I'm worried about the power the Freedumb Caucus now yields. They stood up to the President and said that he is going to have to play ball their way or lose. Trump likes winning and he might see them as the team to ride with. He's not an ideologue, he's an egotist. He and Ryan don't play well together anyway.

the Caucus lost a HUGE promise to the Tea Party and other mouth breathers over Trump Care
and they are all having to deal with this investigation
plus
the Senate Dems have some great opportunities now
plus
the Senate Intell. Comm is going to be lighting some big fireworks.

I would think that the more conservative big donors are gonna hold onto their checkbooks for awhile,
certainly in Trump's case ( except for Duh Vos and a few others) cause trump's election is looking shaky.
THIS election, not the 2020 one.

He predicted they could not improve upon ACA without increasing subsidies and expanding Medicaid even more, not by taking away coverage and subsidies, ( as long as foundation is insurance coverage rather than single payer govt healthcare)

left leaning media, the people who REALLY need to hear it never do I'm so glad FOX aired that comment because the people who heard it were the ones who really NEEDED TO!
