Trump insults and threatens GOP senators in long rant after health bill failure

After a years-long effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act collapsed on Capitol Hill, President Trump castigated Republican senators on social media Saturday.

“They look like fools,” the president wrote on Twitter — and unless they tried yet again to repeal and replace Obamacare, they would be “total quitters” too.

At first, Trump seemed resigned to let the Affordable Care Act, also referred to as Obamacare, take its course, convinced that the program will fail and force Congress to replace it.

But shortly after the sun rose on Friday, Trump began pushing for new bills, which he argued could not pass unless the Senate abolished the legislative filibuster, which had nothing to do with last week's failure on the Obamacare repeal.

The filibuster lets a minority party block legislation that would ordinarily pass with a simple majority of votes.

“Republican Senate must get rid of 60 vote NOW!” Trump wrote at 7:20 a.m. “It is killing the R Party. Allows 8 Dems to control country. 200 Bills sit in Senate. A JOKE!”.......................... ............

.....................To attempt a summary of his arguments so far: Trump knows that some health-care bills could pass through the Senate with a simple majority of votes. Friday's repeal bill could have, for example. But Republicans need to kill the filibuster anyway, Trump argues, lest it allow Democrats to block a more sweeping health-care reform bill, which does not yet exist but will be supported by a majority of senators (but not 60 of them) once it is written.

If that logic strikes you as confusing, you're not alone:

1. The Donald has NO idea how Government works.......

Nor is he King to order around and bully how the Legislative Branch works. Without debate on Bills that become law, we become an unbalanced republic.

The same with the Judicial Branch of Government that interprets laws to be Constitutional or not.

Or is it the Donald is so tired of winning all of a sudden?

2. The fake prez doesn't care about the bill, doesn't know how

government works and doesn't want to learn. He is all over the place with his "input" and no one takes him seriously on any issues. He is bored by all of it. He'd rather spend his time at his pep rallies, golfing, attending grand and lush events in his honor, and instigating petty infighting among his staff and aides.

I love Murphy...he is sincere and passionate!
