Schumer Unveils New Slogan for GOP’s Obamacare Repeal

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has jacked the slogan of the GOP’s President-elect, Donald Trump, in an effort to fight Republicans’ plans to repeal Obamacare.

The call for an investigation comes two days after House Republicans tried to weaken the ethics office by placing it under the auspices of the lawmaker-controlled House Ethics Committee. “Unfortunately, that seems to be the path he is following throughout the transition”.

The Democratic Schumer won re-election easily, including on Staten Island, but his party didn’t take the majority in the Senate as he had hoped, a reality they must come to grips with, he acknowledged.

Schumer said Democrats are awaiting details on many of Trump’s agenda items and Cabinet picks, and said the president-elect’s tweets are not substitutes for full-developed policies.

The real takeaway for Democrats, though, is that they need to learn something from McConnell. I said that we’re going to be an accountability Congress. They also want to know who he met with while sponsoring or cosponsoring bills, including a recently enacted measure overhauling the Food and Drug Administration’s process for approving medicines and devices.

“They won’t have 60 votes to put in an out-of-the-mainstream nominee”, Schumer said.

Schumer also suggested that Republicans, by trying to change House ethics rules earlier this week, were trying to protect Price and other Trump nominees.

Schumer said the new Senate will be an “accountability Congress” that “works to make sure” Trump keeps the campaign promises to “truly make America great”.

What Senator Schumer said just this week was very clear: “If they don’t appoint someone who’s really good, we’re gonna oppose him tooth and nail”.

To do so, McConnell relied on a comment that Vice President Biden made in 1992 about perhaps not filling a non-existent vacancy during the final months of President George H.W. Bush’s term.

Asked to define mainstream, Schumer said, “You know it when you see it”.

Obstruct. The only way Republicans will learn anything is by having it thrown back in their faces for the next four years.

Schumer said his comments are “absolutely not” referring to the same type of obstruction tactics that Democrats blamed Republicans for in the a year ago. “Our message is don’t cut health care”.

Schumer said Democrats are interested in a plan to promote more investment in infrastructure.

Asked what he’d say to the almost 63 million Americans who voted for Trump, and who presumably support at least some part of his agenda, Murphy said, “Too bad”. “We need significant, direct spending”.

President-elect Donald Trump gets all the headlines.

In a recent letter to the Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), Schumer said Democrats would not go along with speedy confirmations unless he received assurances on the timing and length of hearings and demanded that Trump’s Cabinet choices disclosed certain financial information, according to Politico. “But there is certainly enough serious questions to warrant a serious investigation before any hearing is held on Congressman Price to become Secretary of HHS”.
