Nice try, no banana.

"Of the world's 100 richest billionaires, 36 are U.S. citizens and thus eligible to donate to candidates and other political committees here. OpenSecrets Blog found that 30 of those actually did so, contributing a total of $184.4 million " with 58 percent going to Republican efforts."

"Eight of these billionaire households (we included spouses) also fall on our top 100 megadonor list, meaning they and their families were in the uppermost layer of donors to candidates, parties and outside groups in the 2016 cycle.

These eight gave $175.7 million, with $74 million going to Dems and liberal groups, while $102 million went to Republican and GOP causes."

It's hilarious watching Trumpers and their apologists rewrite history

The ACA was the best healthcare program Democrats could get in the face of Republican opposition:

"AI

The statement that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was the best healthcare program Democrats could get in the face of Republican opposition reflects a widely held view among political analysts and participants at the time.

Unified Republican Opposition: Not a single Republican in the House or Senate voted for the final version of the ACA. This made bipartisan consensus on more ambitious reforms, such as a public option or single-payer system, politically impossible.

Legislative Hurdles: The Democrats initially had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, but they lost it with the election of Republican Scott Brown in early 2010.

This required Democrats to use the budget reconciliation process for subsequent changes to the bill, which only required 50 votes but limited the scope of what could be included.

Historical Context: Every Democratic president since Truman had attempted some form of universal healthcare, with limited success.

The ACA was seen as a significant, albeit imperfect, step forward in expanding coverage, cutting the uninsured rate in half since its passage.

In short, the ACA was a product of a complex and highly partisan legislative battle, representing a series of political and procedural compromises necessary to pass any major healthcare legislation in the face of intense opposition"

His Elementary School teachers 'splained 2 plus 2 to him more times that BJ was in that Bathhouse.

- Time for an upgrade.

Was BEFORE people start losing their Healthcare when their Premiums start to double.

And if you 'think' the GOP, who hasn't come up with a Plan in 15 years, is going to pass one in two months, well.... thinking isn't your best thing anyway, so.

- the President is ready and willing to tackle healthcare.

Do you have his picture over the fireplace with HIS bible with HIS name on it on the mantle?

Your Antichrist Cult Leader has intentionally murdered 600,000 people this year, 2/3rds of them children, mostly by starvation... his interest in Healthcare, and you, is non-existent.

- It doesnt look like dems have any choice but to work with him.

Sure they have a choice... they can just let Trump swing in the wind with HIS choice to double healthcare costs WITH NO PLAN IN PLACE, and then maybe, if we're lucky, have a Blue Wave and at least try to get a healthcare system like the 25 major economic nations way ahead of us in healthcare outcomes have.

Of course, Republicans will still do what they did when America had to settle for the Corporate-owned ACA... not give a single vote to the effort to have decent healthcare:

as #41's history PROVES.

- people who will sabotage his efforts.

Too bad some people didn't sabotage his efforts to purposefully murder 600,000 people this year, mainly by starvation... 2/3rds of whom were children.

Are you proud of your Cult Leader for that, BJ? Was it the Christian thing to do?

Or are you going to keep hiding from the Facts?

What happened to BJ?

It's SO unlike him to run away from that question... yet again.
