Trump to GOP senators: Cancel your recess

President Trump told GOP senators at the White House on Wednesday that they should cancel their August recess and not leave town until acting to repeal ObamaCare.

"We shouldn't leave town until this is complete," he said during a lunch at the White House. "We should hammer this out and get it done."

Trump also said that repeal isn't enough, and that Republicans should also replace ObamaCare with new legislation.
"We can repeal, but we should repeal and replace,” he said. 

"Frankly I don’t think we should leave town unless we have a health insurance plan, unless we can give people great health care," he continued. "Because we’re close. We’re very close.’’

along with my other physical problems.

Tonight 45 might host the senators who are wavering, McConnell wants a vote for next week but he doesn't even know what they're voting on! What a train wreck.

he's such an empty suit. Doesn't care what they pass so long as he can pretend to have done something.
