The attempts to address issues were minimal, and then heaped more issues on top. Not a good way to go about it. But now they can scream 'Obamacare is collapsing and it's all the Democrats' fault!" while they continue chipping away at it. And yes, he did campaign on 'repeal and replace' but what he described as the ideal plan and what the GOP gave him are worlds apart. I would say I'm surprised he tried to sell it but it kinda seems like he has no clue what he is doing so...
He just found out that healthcare is complex several days ago. My elitist pig friends and I (also elitist pig) still occasionally make jabs at the business major types, and this whole episode hasn't been helping me get over that stereotype. Rumor has it he's a failure in business, at least, so I shouldn't let it reinforce anything. But yeah, I think people are nailing it when they say that the GOP has become a "party of opposition" that's forgotten how to pass laws. Either that or they're all just sitting on their hands before someone takes Donny away in a straightjacket.
When I read the quote where he said "who knew Healthcare could be so complicated' I nearly gave myself a neck injury from facepalming so hard. I mean, I don't consider myself to be all that smart but ... fuck dude you are the president at least try to make some effort?
Not intelligent enough to feign intelligence. You can only put so much makeup on a thing.
