Eventually they'll do what they should have done back when Obama was President, and work to fix the ACA. I'm not sure they have any other choice - R's own this now. After six years of 'repeal-replace', R's have a half-dozen half-baked plans that really don't work.
It's okay, they'll end up fine-tuning the ACA and they'll call it 'Trump-care' and the people will cheer.
On one of the late night shows, I can't remember, they asked 'the man on the street' what they thought about Obamacare.
They hated it.
Change the question into 'what do you think about the ACA', people loved it.
At Trump rallies, anti-Obama/Hillary citizens were holding up signs saying "NO GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE, AND DON'T TOUCH MY MEDICARE''.
The irony is tragic.

You didn't notice that there's more refugees in the last few years than anytime since World War 2?
Are you going to sit there and say the whole Middle East region is better now than when Obama took office?
Syrian civil war: 470,000+ dead since 2011
Iraq civil war: 75,000 dead since 2014
Crises in Egypt, Yemen, Turkey, and others
We averaged a terror attack every year under Obama on US soil.
There's been many terror attacks throughout Europe in recent years.
Did I mention ISIS? Don't remember them in 2008.
How about Black Lives Matter and all of their pointless destruction?
Did you know almost as many people have been murdered in Chicago alone in the last 8 years than soldiers killed in the Iraq war? Obama did nothing to address black violence in his home town.
All sunshine and lollipops.

You, BrownArmy, and others apparently believe the world got better the last 8 years. Any rational person knows it got much worse. While I recognize all these things are going on, I don't let it bother me in my personal life. Not worth it. Just don't kid yourself that these problems don't exist and that there are reasons for those problems.

Any rational person knows that it's all relative.
Things have gotten much better for me over the past 8 years, and I'd never let a politician take credit for that.

Of course, I'm just talking about world wide issues that the US is a key player in.
I reached the best point of my life last year because I reached top rate. Got that much better (financially) when my wife went back to work, after having 2 kids, making by far the most money she has ever made too. These things would have happened regardless who the President was.

It's not about turning your back on the world, just America FIRST and not getting the shaft on every deal and agreement we make.

Believe it or not, America is great already, and we don't get the shaft on deals and agreements.

Thank you American capitalism.
Imagine our economy if other countries didn't tariff the hell out of American goods! We buy much of what we own from China with no extra tax but people in China have to pay a luxury to buy American made products. Same deal with many other countries.

America is so great that we borrow money to give away to countries that hate us; no, we don't get the shaft on that deal at all. Great logic

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Latest on President Donald Trump (all times EST):
8:30 p.m.
Sen. Bernie Sanders says President Donald Trump may be right in claiming he won the general election votes of some former Sanders supporters.
A participant in a White House meeting Thursday says Trump said he got those votes because he and the Vermont independent think some trade treaties have hurt Americans. The participant spoke on condition of anonymity to describe a private meeting.
Sanders was not present. He said in an interview later that many working-class Democrats who backed him in the presidential primaries are "disgusted" with U.S. trade policy and probably voted for Trump."
