Trump Gives McCain a Twitter Beating (Thank Goodness)

Another reason I love Donald Trump!

He is not afraid to give a severe lashing to the US Senators who have defied the will of the voters and undermined the best cause for We the People.



He says exactly what is on our minds, and he gives spleen to our frustration.

Check out one of his latest tweets:


Trump is paying attention to the needs of Arizona voters more than their own US Senator!

We need to repeal Obamacare, and the Graham-Cassidy compromise is better than nothing at this time.

The only downside to this proposal is that if states like California or Rhode Island like their Obamacare, they get to keep their Obamacare--and that means that blue state conservatives like me are stuck with bad health care and a terrible, horrible, shrinking health insurance market.



Will California end up placing me under a similar health insurance mandate? Will I have to pay through the teeth for bad health insurance? Worse yet, California could jump feet first into a single-payer scheme.

Then again, the even bluer, more progressive state of Vermont tried to go single-payer, and they Democratic trifecta (at the time) ended up backing away from the whole proposal because the tax hikes would have been astronomical, hurting tax payers so hard that all of the businesses and individual home owners would have simply fled the state.

So, what happens if the states choose to be laboratories of different kinds regarding health care? Let is be that way, then.

Get rid of the Employer and Individual Mandates for starters. Cut government dependence on federally subsidized Medicaid. Let the states figure out how to allocate the funding, whether to pursue health insurance exchanges or to get away from government-run healthcare entirely.



Getting back to John McCain ...

What is wrong with this creepy old senator? He has no interest in doing what is best for Arizonans. He hates President Donald Trump, and he hates the anti-globalist, anti-crony heartbeat of the American people and our President.

He also has stage four brain cancer, and we all know that the latest surgery probably affected his judgement even more than the last 30 years he has spent taking up space in Washington DC. McCain is no maverick. He is a pain in the neck.

At least our President has no qualms about slamming him before everyone in the world! Shame on McCain. He deserves to be pushed out of office, and the rest of us in this country deserve representation which will advance our best interests as taxpaying citizens.

Target These Three Republicans: Repeal Obamacare, and Repeal it NOW!

I read this article this afternoon, and I could guess the answer to one of the people mentioned:


The one US Senator who would be the most dithering would be: Susan Collins

Susan Collins (R-Maine)

She is the most liberal Republican in the United States. She has even toyed with the idea of going past repeal of Obamacare, like there is no hope of return.

That is all wrong! That is an outrageous stance. She should recall that the Governor of Maine, Paul LePage, has rejected the medicaid expansion, and refuses to induce more government dependence and poverty on Mainers. Men and women can thrive and grow, and they can rest assured that their medical needs can be met in a freer, more equitable insurance/marketplace system.

More liberty, more accountability, and more transparency is the key.

It's time to give Senator Collins a call, and reminder her that she works for We the People:

The next two names listed baffled me:



Rand Paul (R-KY)

Really:

At least three Republican senators – Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana – have signaled to their leaders that it would be a big mistake to plunge ahead with repealing Obamacare without a replacement plan waiting in the wings, as the Morning Consult reported today.

Oh brother!

The US Senate and the House can repeal and replace all at the same time!

About Rand Paul's jitters:

Paul warned in an op-ed in Rare that unless they moved quickly to replace Obamacare with a fully-developed plan that works, the Republicans could end up being blamed for the continued deterioration of the program.

This stance is the wrong approach entirely. The law is bad from top to bottom, and the pain will linger far longer if nothing is done. Obamacare is already failing consumers and families. The full repeal won't do nearly the damage that the law while in place already has.

What is with Senator Paul? Honestly, is he concerned about the Kentucky residents who have gone onto Ky-nect, the Bluegrass State's Obamacare health exchange? This is crass.

He needs to get off his a--- and make Obamacare go away!

The third US Senator to express reluctance to repeal all the way right away?



Bill Cassidy of Louisiana:

Cassidy on Tuesday tweeted that “Many are worried about losing insurance coverage.”


Get your plan together and repeal!

Get Directions

There is no time to deal. There should be no subsidies from taxpayers for those who refuse to work.

How about making it easier for charity hospitals to open up and raise money?

How about initiating reforms which will allow those who are on Obamacare now to transfer their funds into a Health Savings Account?

The American people want Obamacare repealed. There should be no delay whatsoever.

None. This terrible program cannot be gone faster.

Republicans need to chop away at this gargantuan fraud and not think twice. Medical care has become elusive and expensive because of the government intervention into the program.

It's time for a phase-out. No more bailouts, no more sellouts!

By the way ... the ball is already rolling!
