I have no doubt Trump determined his BATNA long ago
The left tries to paint Trump as a duffus when he is "smarter" than almost all people (not intelligent but smart).
The right painted Obama as a duffus which is closer to reality than Trump.
Both are really smart people ... one is a thinker and the other is results oriented.

I disagree - I think Trump simply assumed he could strong-arm his way through this.
Witness his statement today that if it doesn't go his way, he'll just move along.
Umkay.

This was his BATNA ... thanks.
That must be why only one of them got his health care plan passed....

You believe Trump is a thinker?

Obama did not get it passed ... the Congress did.
I'm not sure Obama understood how to get things done in Congress after 8 years, much less the first two years.
Not that sure about Trump either, but at least he puts it on people who supposedly do.

Think about it.
If something is not acceptable to you, you walk away. To accept something you don't agree with is just plain stupid.
I can't keep up with the number of times I stood up and walked away from a negotiation.
Anyway, this will come back around.

It was Last, Best and Final Offer.
Not the same thing but still funny.
I'd put Trump well ahead of Jim Kelly anyday!

Trump has been saying all along, "Let Obamacare die on the vine."
I hope he doesn't do that but I don't think he is that unhappy at this point.

I'm sorry, that doesn't square with my Adonis-like vision of Trump the DEAL-MAKER.

Correct, and honestly, Trump likely desires to move on to creating one billion jobs, which is really why he got elected.

Perhaps you should change your vision ... a good negotiator does not always come to an agreement.I'm sorry, that doesn't square with my Adonis-like vision of Trump the DEAL-MAKER.
That's Negotiations 101 ... probably the first day of class.

Not sure about the "billion" but I can see that happening.
Trump has not forgotten about Obamacare but the jobs are much more important.

So it doesn't affect me, but millions of others........that's the horror of Obamacare. In case you haven't heard, there is no new plan.......only the plan Pelosi and Schumer drool over......oh yeah, they don't have Obamacare.
Oh, and by the way, some states have ONE insurance co......that's not a choice at all.
But moreluck, it's been 7 years! In 7 years they could either come up with that other plan or find ways to fix it. They've done neither. Simple question: why?
