Didja just hear Sen. Patty Murray on MSNBC...

when asked specifically what Trump doesn't like about Obamacare, she said he used getting rid of Obamacare as an applause line.

He doesn't know what's in it to like or not like.

Now Donny Deutsch is taking a step further.

when told the ACA was Obamacare they became flabbergasted. But still some said they still wanted Obamacare to go away.

It's just all about the black President that made it happen and that is the main reason they want to repeal it. The ones complaining the most on camera about "Obamacare" were the people heavily subsidized and loving the ACA.

When he cites something that appears to be a fact, it's a lie not based on reality.

All because he is;
1. A Racist
2. Obama made fun of him a text a White House Correspondents' Dinner years ago.

Isn't that more than enough reason to destroy the country, kill the planet, ruin foreign relationships and now the biggie- throw 23 million off healthcare. Well done Mr. Jackass. Your base loves you!

I once watched him proclaim 45 as "unhinged, sick and mentally ill". He's known BLOTUS for many years and he's said he has changed (deteriorated) and he is "not well".

Cheeto has no clue what Obamacare really is or what it does for people.

All he says is "Obamacare is a disaster" and he never tells us why. Because he doesn't know.
He just says that line thousands of times and he thinks that makes it true.

Fun fact - he also doesn't know what his AHCA bill says and he can't tell us what's different about the 2 programs.

Why does anybody even listen to Cheeto?

Screwed by "Obamacare". Even called a few up for photo ops while smiling saying something sophomoric like "am I right?". The employees looked a bit uncomfortable.

Afterwords Trump was confronted with questions of - Didn't Trump Resorts provide health insurance to their employees? And if so, they how could those employees be screwed by Obamacare?

Trump was totally baffled by the questions. He obviously had no clue what he was talking about, just that any sentence with Obama and Disaster in it would get a standing ovations and cheers from his crowds.

He did not care to learn then and he has not changed (if he even possesses the capacity to learn is another question entirely).

Details never matter.

I was astonished after encountering this block in Las Vegas sportsbooks in the mid '80s. They were right wing and hateful and empty of competent discussion. But it takes two to be embarrassed and they didn't qualify. One of them named Carl summed it up for me many years ago, "I may not know anything but I have as many votes as you do."

There was an interview around the time of the inauguration and he was pressed about his positions on healthcare and what his plan would entail and his answers were sound bytes and garbage. He has no concept of the minutiae of the bill, that's why he said "healthcare is more complex than anyone realized". He's the useful idiot to the GOPs Randian wet dreams.

and call it a win.

It's probably how they are going to "win" the war in Afghanistan also. Declare victory and go home from the longest war in our country's history.

This is what we have for president right now. This is going to cost us our primacy in the world. Probably already has.
