According to The Hill Donald Trump won't repeal Obamacare if he doesn't get a yes vote on the current legislation. From the article:
"President Trump warned House Republicans on Thursday that he will leave ObamaCare in place unless they approve legislation to repeal and replace it.
Trump officials meeting with the House GOP conference said Trump is done negotiating over the legislation, which was set to come up for a vote Thursday but was delayed.
Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, a former member of the House Freedom Caucus that has been negotiating with Trump, told the GOP conference that Trump wants a vote on Friday during a dramatic closed-door meeting, according to a GOP source in the room.
If the vote fails, Trump will move on to other priorities and ObamaCare will stay as the law of the land, Mulvaney said"
End excerpt.
Huh?
Apparently the good folks at the Hill are not aware that the President doesn't make or repeal laws and that Trump has absolutely no power over them if Congress fails to act. OF COURSE he's not going to repeal Obamacare if Congress doesn't pass a repeal bill! Where do the writers of these mainstream outlets come from?
And of course Trump is going to move on; what choice would he have? Spend the next four years trying to cajole Congress on this?
Duh!
This reminds me of a song from The Music Man:
4th Salesman: Never heard of any salesman Hill
2nd Salesman: Now he dosen't know the territory
1st Salesman: Dosen't know the territory?!?
Whats the fellows line?
2nd Salesman: Never worries bout his line
1st Salesman: Never worries bout his line?!?
2nd Salesman: Or a doggone thing. He's just a bang beat, bell ringing, Big haul, great go, neck or nothin, rip roarin,
every time a bull's eye salesman. Thats Professor Harold Hill, Harold Hill
3rd Salesman: What's the fellows line?
5th Salesman: Whats his line?
Charlie: He's a fake, and he dosen't know the territory!
