The long awaited "replace" has arrived. The battle is now joined. A mainstream media wholly invested in the political failure of a replacement to Obamacare will not be helpful.
What I mean is that the GOP is having to make compromises because the existing program, for all its flaws, is in purely political terms very hard to unravel. What's more, President Trump said during the campaign that he liked parts of ObamaCare, singling out the ban on refusing people with preexisting conditions and allowing parents to keep their kids on their policies until age 26. So the GOP is trying to navigate a narrow path that is far more treacherous than six years of just calling for repeal.

Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said President Donald Trump's "dangerous games" - like accusing former President Barack Obama of wiretapping his Trump Tower telephones during the campaign - "weakens the office of the presidency."

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that "I feel sure that my friend," longtime Obamacare critic Sen. Rand Paul, will support to Republican legislation introduced Monday to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. I feel sure that my friend @RandPaul will come along with the new and great health care program because he knows Obamacare is a disaster!
