Trump needs to recruit a handful of (D) Senators - I think he can do it

Trump wants to do what the people want, and what he promised. Repeal and Replace Obamacare.

But the Democrats can filibuster this legislation to try to make it not happen. Trump will need 60 votes in the Senate to do this successfully. I think he will show Obama how this happens.

Thoughts?

He won't need 60 if it's a better bill than Obamacare.

I agree. I think after all is said and done he will end up working with the Dems a lot more than people think. The world is not going to end on Jan 20th. People forget that politicians lie, a lot, to get elected.

I can honestly see Paul Ryan being one of his biggest problems through the next 4 years.

I understand they will repeal Obamacare using "budget reconciliation" something I don't really understand other than that a simple majority is all that is needed.
