Not quite surprising, this
Quote:Yet there’s one glaring oddity in the pitch Trump’s been making: It doesn’t include anything even remotely resembling an affirmative case for the actual bill House Republicans have to vote on.President Trump appears unable to make a substantive case for the AHCA - Vox
When Trump talks health care in public statements and in accounts of his private meetings, he keeps making the following four pretty simple points:
There is no case for the American Health Care Act itself there. It’s all either political or a rote condemnation of Obamacare.
- Obamacare is a disaster that’s falling apart.
- If Republicans don’t pass the bill, they’ll do badly in the next election.
- Republicans have to pass the bill so they can move on to tax cuts.
- He — President Trump — and the Republican Party need this “win.”
