However, after campaigning on repeal and replace and complaining for years about Obamacare, Trump should have had some semblance of plan to replace Obamacare himself. He didn't. After all, he claimed repeal and replace on Day 1. Replace with what? Donald didn't and still doesn't have a plan, either. Eight months in to his presidency and he is still relying on other politicians to come up sleigh a plan he has failed to produce. He has totally passed the buck onto Ryan and McConnell and is no blaming them for not having a plan when he doesn't have a plan, either. The plan they have come up with is actually worse than Obamacare. That's why they can't get the votes. It's not because of a deep state of obstructionists. It's because their plan is f'n awful.I don't know about this. Drumph has no idea about Obama care. He didn't while campaigning and he doesn't now. He was given catch phrases , (repel & replace, build that wall , lock her up, etc.) and just kept repeating them over and over. Print some hats up. Drumph made the other 16 candidates in the primary look like weak asses. They couldn't attack back about his voting record because he had none. It was the perfect storm. Drumph is right about one thing. The fact that the right wingnut old white men in congress led by the frogman who whined and bellyached about Obamacare for years but when their turn came to finally do something about it they were clueless. This should demonstrate what a pathetic party the Repubs have become led by their special needs president.
Blaming others for one's own failures is the worst kind of leadership which is exactly the type of leadership Trump is displaying right now. Publicly ridiculing Ryan and McConnell isn't going to help them or Trump to repeal and replace Obamacare. It only further weakens their position to get the votes necessary to pass their gawd awful proposal.
