Put the blame for problems with Obamacare right where they belong: With insurance companies who are backing away because they think a Trump plan will mean they can charge higher premiums for less coverage. The only solution to our health care problems is a single-payer system that gets rid of these profit gluttons. Everybody — even Trump — knows it, but Republicans obsessed with so-called “free market” principles would never allow it to happen.

How can the president of the United States call the Constitution archaic and very bad for the country? What he meant to say was that the Constitution was bad for Trump trying to fill his pockets at the taxpayers’ expense.

Instead of a library, will Trump build a golf course or a hotel in his name after he is president?

The only reason that Trump has to undo all of President Obama’s accomplishments is pure hatred and jealousy. Trump will never measure up. Silly, silly, little man.

The president just passed a “health care bill” yesterday and has the lowest unemployment rate in 10 years today. And the stock market closed at record highs again today too. Sounds like he likes a good dare as much as his supporters, who want nothing more than to make America great again.

“Rape as a pre-existing condition.” I’ve never seen the hatred of women codified into law to this degree.

When a legislator says they voted on a bill that they didn’t read, and that will leave their state underfunded by billions every year, that person doesn’t have the intelligence to be an elected official.

After no job offers, Jay Cutler gets hired as a broadcaster at Fox Sports. His droll delivery will be as welcome as his play on the field.

On a visit to New York, Trump avoided Trump Tower because he couldn’t face the assembled protesters. He also avoided seeing his wife and son.

President Trump had to take over health care whether it was good or bad. That’s what a president does when he takes over the most powerful position on the planet. Quickly made a pledge to tear him to pieces on a daily basis, and there’s no sign of them letting up anytime soon, is there?
