We are only a few weeks into the booyah! boasting phase of the Trump GOP Era. But we are already seeing a central theme emerging, especially on health care policy. Both on repealing Obamacare and phasing out Medicare, Republicans are now realizing they have to ask Democrats for help, despite the fact that they control every branch of the federal government. This is obviously the case in the Senate if Mitch McConnell maintains the filibuster and thus the need for 60 votes.
What's not clear I I think is that it remains the case even if McConnell finds a way to push through changes with only 50 votes.
It's important to understand why this is happening....
