Reply to "10 Ways Barack Obama Broke the American System"

One wonders how much of an immediate affect Donald Trump will have once he takes the oath of office come January 20th?  The Republicans now have an unprecedented ability to make good on their word and actually disprove all those who have created a false narrative around the Republican party and their agenda.  Harry Reid has set the precedent, along with the Democrats, by doing away with the filibuster with regards to political appointments so the Republicans should  now follow suite and do likewise and thus get Obama's nominees through the process fast and easy. 

The real cause for that is concentration on the other more weighty projects and work that is to be done.  Work such as creating jobs, bringing jobs back to America, setting up infrastructure repairs and rebuilding the military.  Without a doubt the US-Israel relationship will be on better footing and many of our allies and friends will once again find hope in a strong determined American foreign policy.  The Republicans have no excuses now to now it the time to govern and prove that they know how to get the nation back on track.   I've said it before and still believe it as strongly as I believe anything and that is that liberals and Democrats are intensely fearful not of Trump's rhetoric or his promises but they are scared witless that he and his cabinet picks will actually make good on the promises and that they will be successful in bringing back jobs.  If they are then the Democrats will find it very difficult to find a candidate to run any kind of Campaign in 2020 for their ineptitude will have been revealed and worse, to them, their false lies about the republican party and Donald Trump will have been dispelled and the Democrats will have no real issues to run on if Trump is successful with his own promises.  The greatest fear with a Trump successful term would be in the potential that Democrats will lose a great number of minority voters and Hispanic voters who before would vote Democratic blind and based upon false narratives created by the Democratic National Committee.   If Trump can turn some of our inner cities around and allow them to be fruitful again then it may very well render the Democratic party into a minority of it's own. 

That, I believe, is one thing that led to the huge defeat that the Democrats suffered in 2016 and that is ignoring the majority while building up and legislating for the most extreme of minorities.  Spending so much time and resources on issues such as the transgender issues over issues such as jobs and work.  Using man made Global Warming, turned to Climate Change when the facts continued to disprove their agenda, and turning to restrictions and government regulations to strangle the lifeblood of job creation from small to medium businesses.  Through legislation and regulation such as Democratic Healthcare (aka Obamacare) whereby they created incentives to eliminate full time substantial jobs in lieu of minimum wage, minimum hour jobs so as to bypass requirements to supply insurance.

My concern now, with the Trump administration, is their statements to do away with Obamacare and replace it.  My thought is this.  IF Obamacare is unconstitutional, which I believe it is, based upon the power and association of it with the Federal Government, then replacing it with anything would still be unconstitutional.  This issue should be dealt with but at a State level and not the federal level but then some States are ill equipped to tackle such  burden and size issue.   The federal government should get the government out of the insurance business and allow free and open competition among the Insurance companies and competition would and will drive down the prices and up the benefits/features of the plans. 

For those who have pre-existing conditions which Insurance companies won't touch and for those left in the cold then the government, State & Federal can assist with those cases but not take over a whole industry as the government did with Obamacare.
