Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
Just reading reaction from some Republican voters. They spewing venom towards the 3 Republican Senators. McCain especially. But saw one man say his Heathcare bills for his family have risen 5 x its original cost, says it's now $18,000 a year for his family of six.

Ok. How will the bills over the last three days brought costs down?

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
I'm not saying it did. The whole thing is a mess. McCain preached the day he came back that they never get things done because of Partisan politics, then he sides with the devil party by voting with them.

Any idea how much he earned?
Low to middle income earners are subsidised under Obamacare.

He said he wants to work with them to gain agreement.
Obamacare was based on Romneycare/Heritage Foundation research, but because it was implemented by the Democrats, Republicans tried to destroy it, .
Working across the aisles takes two sides, and Republicans spent the last 8 years saying 'No'.

Surely he has just proven that he isn't partisan by voting down a bad bill even if that means siding with the Democrats.
This bill would have revoked the individual mandate and defund Planned Parenthood. Even Democrats accept Obamacare is flawed, even Obama has said it's flawed, but the core of it remains popular: people should have health insurance and have pre-existing conditions covered.
Instead of finding a way to fix it's flaws the Republicans sought to undermine the principle entirely. They're a party of small government and fundamentally do not believe the government should be involved in healthcare, which forcing people to get insurance is doing. They were caught between the desire to revoke it entirely from the likes of Rand Paul to people who worried about the consequences of taking away healthcare.
Trump, who promised a better Obamacare, seemed to show little interest in the detail.

Seems McCain came good in the end. I've got respect from politicians from any side, that vote with their convictions and what they know to be right, rather than be bullied and tow the party line. Unfortunately politicians like this are in the minority, but that's all it takes sometimes, as our own PM will find out.
Looks like the Donald is hoping healthcare will collapse to teach the people a lesson. Nice of him ! So, no wall, no heath care reform, what else can this president not deliver ? His Twitter account should be suspended for being offensive, libelous codswallop, it'd be for his own good.

Actually, a 'down payment' think I saw $1.6 billion was approved by House of Representatives yesterday. The wall is going ahead.
Get facts right springs to mind, but always does with you.

No locking her up, I seem to remember a long time ago on Larry king live he promised not to rename the White House if he ever became president, I'm confident he'll deliver on that.

No need to get shirty Mick ! Long way short of the actual amount or actually happening.
Have you ever thought of applying for the role of WH Press Officer ? The post frequently becomes vacant. I think you'd be good and fit the job criteria

If he did then we may get some facts rather than the assumptions you make.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
This madness can't continue, we're only 6 months in. Preibus was the main link to Republicans, he was the 'moderate' as it were. Is Trump just addicted to chaos and attention?
