Trump's demise

I don't think they really have to take care of you in the emergency room if you don't have insurance.  I imagine they have to keep you alive until they can ship you to the crappier county hospital, but that is as far as they have to go.  And you can't treat a serious medical condition by just showing up at the emergency room when you are at death's door.  You have to have a regular doctor and a continuum of care. 

The Republicans hold all three branches of government now, how come they haven't been able to repeal Obamacare?  You really need a majority of ten in the senate to get anything through there, and back then the dem majority had a lot of blue dogs who were no help at all. 

Again Obamacare is better than what came before and certainly better than Trump No Care which is what we are heading for.  And by the way, whatever happened to Trump's plan to negotiate lower drug prices?  He has the three branches and he certainly would have democrat help for that. 


Of course I've been consistently wrong in speaking of Trump's demise, but I will venture to say this separating children at the border might be it.  Any other politician, and even the earlier Trump who had been somewhat trammeled by advisers, would have backed off on this one.  It's a small issue in the greater immigration thing, but it has a big impact, people hate it, even Lyin' Ted is talking about a bill to prevent it,  It would be nothing for Trump to back off on this one, it wouldn't even be a loss of his honor because he could just lie about it and blame it on somebody else like he always does and the Trumpists would drink it right down.

But I don't think at this point he is able to do it, it is just not in his nature.  The firestorm only gets his dander up, and Trump loves nothing better than a fight.  It's hard to see where this will go.  I don't see this as bringing him down, but I do think he could incur a serious wound.

We've seen stuff like this before and Trump has rolled right through, but I think this may be different, but then I have been wrong before.
