TRUMP LOSES: Tries to repeal and delay Obamacare, but it also failes

So today the Republicans tried one last, desperate attempt at repealing Obamacare in the Senate. Since they did not have the votes to repeal and replace Obamacare with Trumpcare, Trump told them to propose a Repeal and Delay tactic in which the Senate would repeal Obamacare and not propose anything to replace it until a later date. Trump claimed that way the Democrats would be forced to negotiate.

But the plan backfired. Three Republican senators openly said they would vote against the plan, since a simple repeal without replacement would leave 32 million people without health insurance and premiums would double. As a result, the Repeal and Delay plan failed.

So now that Trump lost twice in two days, his brilliant plan not is to let Obamacare fail because, he claims, that way the Democrats will reach out to him. This is what Trump said according to The New York Times:

“It’ll be a lot easier [to let Obamacare fail],” Mr. Trump said at the White House, adding: “We’re not going to own it. I’m not going to own it. I can tell you the Republicans are not going to own it. We’ll let Obamacare fail, and then the Democrats are going to come to us.”

Why would the Democrats go to Trump if the one letting Obamacare fail, and this leaving millions of Americans without healthcare, is Trump?

This sounds like yet another a pretty big disaster for Trump. He lost twice, and now he's just throwing a tantrum.

By the way, Trump didn't even know the Republicans don't have enough votes (60) for a full Obamacare repeal. First he tweeted this yesterday:



But then, after somebody told him he was speaking out of his ass, he twetted this:



Which is, again, another tantrum.
