GOP admits to being out of ideas: RNC buried in mockery after demanding health care plan from Clintons

The Republican National Committee challenged Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Democratic lawmakers to come up with their own health care plan, if they didnt like what GOP senators were cooking up and social media users pounced.
The RNCs official Twitter account issued the challenge to the Clintons, neither of whom currently hold elected office, along with Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
Our healthcare system is collapsing, but Democrats refuse to bring anything to the table, the RNC tweeted. Wheres THEIR plan?
Democratic lawmakers have said they would not participate in any efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which Republicans have threatened to do since it passed into law and President Donald Trump promised to do immediately upon election. Twitter users heaped mockery on the challenge, and pointed the RNC to health care reform plans posted on the campaign websites for Hillary Clinton and Sanders.

(272 posts)making Republicans look like idiots is a lot like shooting fish in a barrel. Mostly you just have to stand there. They pride themselves on out-stupiding each other.

(468 posts)We already have a plan. It's called the Affordable Care Act. If that's not good enough for you, I'm sure single-payer healthcare will do.

Okay...
Actually... it is the Democratic plan since it's in place
Republikkans just do not know how to govern

(17,984 posts)McConnell hid the repuke plan from all Dems, so why didn't you Dems do anything to help out? Seriously? I mean are they that fucking stupid?

(12,448 posts)that fucking stupid. For seven years they fought the ACA, said they would have a "better" plan. They didn't then and still don't. Now they're whining because the DEMOCRATS won't help them.
Nobody told them that governing is hard.
