What will the GOP do to Obamacare?

There will be much sturm und drang, but ultimately no concrete action will be taken. It'll still be Obamacare.
5 (13.2%)
They'll attempt to rebrand it and own it, changing a few details, but otherwise leaving it in place.
6 (15.8%)
They'll replace it with something terrific that provides better coverage and cheaper too for the populace.
2 (5.3%)
They'll repeal it without a replacement, leaving large number of Americans without coverage for a significant period of time, perhaps forever.
17 (44.7%)
They'll repeal it with a replacement that screws over some people, but still covers some people significantly and call that an improvement.
7 (18.4%)
Some other outcome.
1 (2.6%)

I think the most likely explanation is that Trump would indeed be relieved for the repeal to fail without being blamed for it.  Otherwise he either gets it from people losing health insurance or people wanting the repeal (often the same people).

He's finished.  Administration will implode momentarily.

Someone needs to shop a picture of Trump in the truck playing chicken with Dukakis in the tank.

I just noticed that mangy looking bald spot above Donald's ear.  Perhaps a result of my changing perception caused by his SUDDEN VULNERABILITY?

They're getting rid of regulations, and cut down on federal government by not appointing people to work in the agencies. :P

I don't think retardation is covered under the ACA. Better hope someone fixes that.
