Technically, nobody voted for it.
Florida50
The medical insurance industry wants their 9.5 million dollar bribe back
tclothingw
Yeah right, blame the Democrats for your crappy health care plan
GreaterDog
Constantly emphasizing loyalty to leader rather than striving for quality and desirability of his actions. He's a shit president.
Tychodin
Why didn't the Democrats help repeal their signature legislative achievement? Those bastards.
grandpadoug63
I am a senior citizen and in my lifetime I have seen every POTUS and no one has ever said it's somebody else's fault more than tRUMP!
Noebuhdy
And they tell us to get over it.
icelandicsealbear
How many times is he just going to blame other people for his failures before people stop defending him?
HitlersArtCritic
No?
Sinnerman99
I have to admit I never understood how he expected the Dems to vote down their own legislation, what does he smoke, anyway.

Shut the fuck up, Donnie.
cosinewave
It was a bipartisan message to get it right.
DVSBSTrD
No it wasn't. A bipartisan message would've been not proposing that pile of horse shit to begin with.
HtownFreethinker
Bullshit

The numbers tell the tale. 275 is bigger than 215.
HtownFreethinker
" I tell you. We got numbers, the biggest numbers, every body tells me how we got the best numbers"
HtownFreethinker
Bipartisan message you say, not a single Democrat in either chamber was going to vote for that drivel,
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Wrong. Half the GOP wanted it and the other half of the GOP want it to be worse, as in screwing the poor.
Huhwhatcrazy
Cause Democrats don't want 24 mn (White House data) with healthcare in the next few years. If it was better and cheaper than ACA they'd come
mthrndr01
Did you mean without?
MantidTobogganMD
You're out of your element, Donnie

Donald doesn't even know how many Republicans there are in each branch, or how many democrats, or how many total, or what each branch does.

nahh noone wants his job, GOP are ungovernable and Trump backs/needs him
shadysocks
Gonna sacrifice. Needs a victim to feel good about himself.
vricike
If you don't bring it to vote, you can't get democrats to vote for it...
KaizerKilborn
I thought they had to vote on it before they could learn what's in it. ;)
howaboutnothankyouverymuch
Also it's bs bc dems made it clear that they were willing to talk so long as gop took repeal off the table. Gop never even looked dems way.
dmax12
That is representative of the GOP voters as far as I can tell
SingleNiceFedoraWearingClassyGuycautiondonotfriendzone
pssst....he literally said "support" but you're trying to make it a contradiction by acting like he said "votes" but it's not a (1/2)
SingleNiceFedoraWearingClassyGuycautiondonotfriendzone
(2/2) contradiction when you literally change the only key word that you're talking about.
iamthisguy247
The democrats should just troll him and say they were ready and excited to vote on it. Then if he tries it again "not now, not like this"

Whwat
Koch brothers threatened to withdraw bribes for campaign funding for any repub who voted in favor of the bill.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
So the koch brothers are running our country?
SeeShark
Yes
boobcat
Well they didnt win either, they wanted a more Draconian Bill but now they're stuck with ACA.. so it's a GOP lose/lose result
Pangs
That's not news.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
I know; but @Whwat was using it as an excuse for the GOP.
icelandicsealbear
Obama: No party control of the Congress, passed the ACA. Trump: A party control of all three branches of government,cannot do anything right
Corrodias
I wouldn't call passing that bill "doing something right".
rubbarz
Cant wait to hear about this come family Thanksgiving lol
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
What's funny is that Obama could have pushed it through before 2010, but he was trying to get bi-partisan; reps did not act in good faith.
NiceCatchBlancoNinoTooBadYourAssGotSacked
Republicans don't know the meaning of good faith. Democrats at least attempt to act somewhat cordially. Probably why they lose so much.
packasmacks
This is a good example of the kind of ignorance that gets upvoted far too often.
NiceCatchBlancoNinoTooBadYourAssGotSacked
Turns out it takes a certain degree of competence to be the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. Who knew?
Rivalyn
Best hope they remain fumble-fingered incompetents until 2020.
BushelOfLabeouf
No one ever brings up how Obama had no party control. Thank you.
Atalung
Yeah that's fucking stupid, the Democrats had major majorities in both houses.
DVSBSTrD
He still had to scrap the public option because *gasp* compromising between two opposing viewpoints never gets a satisfying result.
checkmate227
Democrats most definitely controlled both house and senate when the ACA was passed. That is the only reason it passed.

BlueAngel3141
there was a Dem majority in the House and Senate the 1st 2 yrs of President Obama's 1st term. Which is when they passed the ACA
Cereaza
And, in fact, a democratic Super Majority in the senate. they had 60 votes, which they needed for cloture.
BroseidonKingOfTheBros
Only for a few months. If only Kennedy had held on for a few more months.
Cereaza
Hm? You saying "if he had held on" Obamacare would never be passed or... I don't get your meaning.
BroseidonKingOfTheBros
Short version of the story - Senator Ted Kennedy died before they could pass the ACA through the Senate, breaking the filibuster proof

Beastialitykilledthecat
WHY THE FUCK DOES HE THINK THE DEMOCRATS WILL SUPPORT HIM?
PMMECORGISPLS
I don't think he does. I think he's manipulating and trying to keep a grip on his fanbase. It's the same short of shit the Liberal Party 1/?
PMMECORGISPLS
(Don't let the name fool you, they are the conservatives) in Australia does. Get into power, do jackshit, blame opposition.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Right. He never even talked to them much less bring them into the process.
PoliticalMayhem
He doesn't he just wants to blame someone else.
caboops
Look at the Republicans that are blocking this, it is the most conservative. Both sides hate his plan.
SnugglesaurusRex
Because the more conservative ones care for nothing other than their donors profits. They're just bigger assholes.
uvwaex
Because they've been running against it for 8 years!....
DaJoW
GOP has done nothing but obstruct for 8 years. They want that label to shift to the Democrats.
aegis27
It's a scapegoat. Rather than his rabid fans thinking he or his party failed, they get to blame the people they already blame for everything
danishjuggler21
Because he has no grasp of reality.
SomeCrazyNerd
He's bullshitting to deflect blame.
danishjuggler21
It can be both
BionicCutlery
Not with those hands he doesn't
SomeCrazyNerd
He's bullshitting desperately to deflect blame.
inga504
Exactly, he's trying not to disrupt his base. If he called Republicans out he'd be admitting to a bigger failure.
SomeCrazyNerd
I mean really people politics 101 try to shift blame. Not doing a fantastic job but it'll make an impact.
ytseone
He's a big dummy?
potatoesmakemeveryhappy
Okay, great, but could we give single-payer healthcare a try? Obamacare isn't too good either.
Atalung
Vermont did, it failed
Atalung
Down vote me all you want it's a fact. They tried it and killed it after a few years because of financial insolvency
potatoesmakemeveryhappy
I googled it myself, and I think you're right. Thanks for pointing it out.

I feel most Americans have gotten past the shock and are entertained as well
yamatto
The big problem of course is that a lot of the republican dissenters were dissenting because it didn't gut federal involvement -enough-.
NicCagesDickRages
Exactly. The hardline Republicans won't be happy until we're turning the poor into food
boobcat
Freedom Caucas. The Koch Bros offered 00s of $M to vote 4 more taxcuts to rich & no protection from pre existing conditions, etc etc
Corrodias
Zero zeros of dollar M? That may mean "hundreds of millions of dollars", truncated for space, so let me know if I'm incorrect.
boobcat
correct
boobcat
$300,000,000 to $400,000,00 in campaign contributions from Koch Bros to those voting against the Bill as it was
YourMomJokes
I like how trump threatens everybody into voting and nobody votes for it
SeeShark
"I CAN MAKE ANY DEAL" -> ignored completely by his own party.
HiddenSanity
During internal negotiations they shut down some inquires and concerns 'forget about that small stuff', 'take one for the team'.

Lame duck president, just 3 months in? THAT'S AN ACADEMY RECORD!
sarcasticresponse
To be fair... Trump said he never said he would repeal and replace Obamacare...
Souljah42
I certainly never heard him say it.
icelandicsealbear
It's ok mate, I understand your sarcasm. We'll just sit down here together in the land in which jokes can't be taken.
mwiili
Imgur wasn't always like this. I can remember when it was nothing but sarcasm, dark memes and nerdiness as far as the eye could see...
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
98% of the time, "to be fair" is followed by straight-up bullshit.
Pangs
To be fair, this is probably the 2%.

my fav thing 'he never said' was that he might even hold a spec session on inaug' day to repeal ACA

DrForester
Democrats don't really support the "kick poor people off health insurance and give tax breaks to the rich" platform the GOP was going for.
halfmeasures
Unless your last name is Manchin....even though your state receives one of the largest sums of federal aid...
SnarkyScience
Or the let's save $300 billion out of our $400+ billion deficit that we can't continue to afford.
DrForester
"Fuck the poor, let them die. We need to increase military spending and pay for Trump's weekly gold vacations"
brownieblue
They weren't going to get kicked off. They just weren't going to be forced to keep it (as they are now)
DrForester
"We're not kicking you off Health Insurance, we're just making sure you can't afford it"
DVSBSTrD
"If only we didn't have to choose between two such extreme platforms!" Independent voters.
m053486
Fucking THIS
DVSBSTrD
Why can no party ever just be right? One party believes in Global Warming while the other doesn't. So now a fact is "party politics".
m053486
Dude (Dudette, whatever), don't even get me started on that shit. So many "logical" people sticking their fingers in their ears and humming.
Ellimem
Extreme platforms? The gap between Reps and Dems is tiny. Center and right.
DVSBSTrD
Not according to 70 million people who stayed home last November.
ImNotRacistBut
Maybe that's WHY they stayed home. No actual left candidate.
DVSBSTrD
The only way this country is going to get any left wing candidates is if we start moving it away from the right, towards the center.
diehardlance
Lol center
TheNortherner
In a European view both US parties would be considered right wing.
DVSBSTrD
No shit.

Sorry. Did my comment trigger you or something?
