If the GOP repeals Obamacare because they are afraid of Trump's base, they cede the nation to Russia

Bank on it! There will be no stopping him as he gives more and more power to Russia as his Cabinet continues to defund and deplete our Executive agencies in a fulfillment of the RW wet dreams: no social safety for the minorities, the poor, the sick and the aged.

MORE THAN HEALTHCARE IS ON THE LINE. I HOPE YOU KNOW IT!

The Republican Party made repeal of the ACA a primary goal before it was passed, and long before Putin and Trump colluded to get him elected president. Repeal of the ACA is irrelevant to Russia's goals, which are primarily to regain its role as a major power.

As a political strategy conflating the disaster that would be inflicted on tens of millions of people by repealing the ACA with the Russian Scandal is a real bad idea. It just confuses something that is really simple by combining it with somethign that is pretty complicated, and it lets the Republican Party off the hook.

By conflating these issues the problem is just Trump and can be solved by removing Trump.

is in the mob. If Trump can bully and control and gets his way about Obamacare what else he does will be virtually unstoppable.

It's not conflation. It' observation!

If anything Russia would likely prefer that repeal fail as repeal would be a political disaster for Trump and the Republican Party, thus thwarting their efforts to have a compliant regime in Washington facilitating their objectives.
