Talking Points Memo reports:
President Donald Trump attempted to give a boost to Republicans’ stalled Obamacare repeal effort Wednesday. But he seemed to acknowledge that his party had lost the messaging battle on health care to Democrats, who the President said “scream death,” presumably referring to Democrats’ framing of Republicans’ proposed overhaul of the health care system.
Trump has invited all Republican senators to the White House for lunch to try to rally support for the repeal effort. Despite his complaints about the legislative process, the President has largely removed himself from the effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act and make deep, lasting cuts to Medicaid.
I will be having lunch at the White House today with Republican Senators concerning healthcare. They MUST keep their promise to America!

The Republicans never discuss how good their healthcare bill is, & it will get even better at lunchtime.The Dems scream death as OCare dies!
