    This image is missing some amazing context.

    Before Trump took office, Obama was facing an opposition Congress with a majority in the house and senate. They passed something like 80+ bills to fully repeal Obamacare which Obama of course vetoed. They lacked the majority to overturn the veto but did so anyway.

    They did this all the leading up to Trump, with many Republican candidates promising that they would repeal Obamacare once the Republicans took over the government.

    Guess what?

    They did.

    But guess how many full repeal bills got passed let alone introduced? A full fat zero.

    Because everyone in the Republican party knew that it would absolutely kill chances at keeping the majority. They played political theatre for two years and then pussed out when Trump got into office.
