GOP PREPARING HYPER-SWIFT ACTION ON DISMANTLING OBAMACARE TO KICK OFF THE TRUMP ERA
The idea for a lightning-strike bill has been percolating among Capitol Hill Republicans since long before the election, and it’s sure to provoke howls from Democrats. But there’s not much they can do under the rules, beyond kick up a fuss. Senate Democrats’ leader-in-waiting, Chuck Schumer of New York, has said in several interviews that Republicans will rue the day they roll back the health law.

CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS ARE CONSIDERING A LIGHTNING-STRIKE ROLLBACK OF OBAMACARE EARLY NEXT YEAR TO KICK OFF THE DONALD TRUMP ERA, BUT FIRST THEY HAVE TO AGREE ON A PLAN LIMITED ENOUGH TO HOLD THEIR CAUCUS TOGETHER.
EDITOR’S NOTE: The sore losers over at Bloomberg could not resist taking a dig at Donald Trump by calling his plans to dismantle Obamacare a ‘lightning strike’, invoking images of Hitler’s Blitzkrieg. But the irony here is that what Donald Trump was elected to do was to erase all traces of the Socialism-Marxism-Fascism of the Obama ‘legacy’. And the faster he can do that, the better we will be as a nation.
Republicans won’t have much room for error to successfully repeal Obamacare, a top campaign promise of Trump and congressional Republicans. Even if they delay the repeal to allow more time to come up with a replacement, there will be pressure to use the legislative maneuver to push through other top GOP priorities, such as defunding Planned Parenthood.
But Senate Republicans would have to keep unified the 52 senators they expect to have when the new Congress convenes Jan. 3.
