        I blame both of them. McConnell had YEARS to come up with something. He didn't. Trump is little better than an idiot on details.

        He oversaw the creation of a terrible plan and pushed it to a vote when he didn't have the numbers.

        It was also largely because "the" plan was awful.

        Hard to attribute blame for any collective failure, but odds of success would have improved if Trump actually demonstrated policy leadership

        It was a failure! The majority of the voters (We The People) want our Obamacare! Senators voting party line not 4 constituents will be OUT

        He had his pen in his hand, waiting to sign and assign blame at the ready. He's weak, ignorant or just expects to act like a rich baby.

        I agree. Trump plays blame game when he is just as responsible as @GOP. Failed pres needs to go sooner rather than later.

        McConnell is an evil monster who wants ppl to die so he can reward the rich w/more $. He went nuclear 4 Gorsuch & is always party over ppl.

        It lies in the hands of the GOP who has railed against the ACA for 7 years without any thought to a replacement.
