Now as for your 2020 comment..If by some miracle Trump isn't impeached before his term is up, the GOP will now have Republicans running again him, they will back him. There is no chance Republicans will back another Republican in 2020 if Trump manages to keep himself in office..

I think Trump is shooting himself in the foot by getting behind this and it will hurt him come re-election. It's not going to pass... Unless, they can get a few democrats who are heavily funded by the insurance co's to jump sides. Either way this bill is just as disastrous as Obamacare and if it just so happens to slip through it will be Trumps undoing in 2020. The democrats don't have anyone even remotely appealing to put up so someone like Paul will come shinning through... All he will have to do is get up there and say "I told you so." Rand is just "playing" party politics to stay in the funding right now. He's more like his dad than he lets out and the establishment knows this. That's why they poopoo on him at every turn. They know his plan is better but 1. they don;t want to give him the spotlight and 2. the insurance companies don't like it. If the Dems were smart they would get behind Paul's plan just to sabotage the GOP's plan and the GOP themselves..
