Congress getting the blame for failure to repeal Obamacare
Washington Post:
Trump’s attacks on Senate Republicans are paying political dividendsI have been a little more specific. I think there are about a half-dozen Republican senators who are the problem and I would focus campaign funding on targeting them in the primaries. Like many Republicans, I feel like these senators betrayed their campaign promise to repeal and replace Obamacare and have seen no alternative proposals from them that could pass. Trump has shown more flexibility on what the repeal and replace would look like and that is why he is not seen as the problem.
Conservative donors and activists are primed to blame Congress, not the president, if there is no sweeping rewrite of tax laws — just as they did after the failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
