Why President Trump Couldn’t Close the Deal on Obamacare Repeal | "Trump's Takeover" | FRONTLINE

- President Trump thought he could use his skills as a salesman to bridge a divide in the Republican Party over the bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. There was a problem, though. As the FRONTLINE documentary "Trump's Takeover" reports, the president didn’t seem to understand or care about the details of the bill he was selling.

“The president was not particularly engaged in the policy details. That was pretty apparent,” Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Penn.) tells FRONTLINE. “The president seemed to defer to Congress, largely, and basically, ‘Whatever you guys pass, I’ll sign.’”
This scene is an excerpt from the new documentary, "Trump's Takeover," which goes inside President Trump's high-stakes battle for control of the Republican Party.
It examines how the president, who vowed to defeat the Washington establishment, has worked to remake the party in his own image -- counter-punching when criticized, and publicly attacking Republicans who defy him.
From Trump’s attacks on party leaders on Twitter after the repeal-and-replace bill died, to a split over what many in the party said was the president’s inadequate response to deadly violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, to when Congress ultimately delivered a major legislative victory for Trump with the passage of tax reform, the documentary traces the president’s takeover of the party, from the perspective of Republican lawmakers.
"Trump's Takeover" premieres Tues., April 10 at 10/9c on PBS & online: to.pbs.org/2GNBtMc

Essentially: John Mccain
McCain might ( small might ) have been better about pulling folks policy -wise, over to his way of viewing, but yes, McCain, like Trump, had a overwhelming need to be loved, too.
@@irenestewart1942 Not really. If all he craved was approval he wouldn't have voted against his party in such a dramatic manner.
That's the reason he lost. He only thinks about himself.
@JJoe stop supporting ideology and think for yourself . you fake patriot
God I love these front line docs
That voice could read me my death sentence.
“It’s not all transactional”. If anything captures what’s wrong with 45 and his administration, it’s them not understanding that. Principles matter.
One of Sen. John McCain greatest moments in politics-God bless his patriot soul.
Gee, Mr. Trump can’t get over the fact that democracy is not about making deals.
To the contrary - I think that democracy, along with most other forms of politics, is very much about making deals. Just that the 'deals' in politics can't always be translated into dollars and I don't think Trump is able to recognize any form of measurement other than 'USD'. Additionally, for all of his shtick about "I'm a deal maker", I personally think Mr. Trump is quite shit at it lol.
He lets everyone do the work , he wants the credit. That doesn’t work in government.
Trump: "I like people who don't get caught"
McCain: "Oh, word?"
And these are the words of the world's biggest coward in fact if he was on the
Titanic he would have thrown on a dress and made sure that he was the first one in the life boat.🖕
@@raymondodonohoe6070 🤣🤣. This 🖕 is for making me laugh out loud & waking up my kids😂. Seriously you got a point there 🤣💯
lol even truer now
Does everyone hear what is being said here? That the president was uninterested OR UNABLE TO COMPREHEND the details of the bill??? I mean, this is very obviously true, but it is still stunning that the American people put this incompetent idiot in the White House. It is, in my opinion, unforgivable.
We didn't the electoral college did. They kicked out 3mill US voters off.
Blue Sky: The electoral college is a joke for sure, but any society in which very nearly half of the voters vote for Trump is a bad society.
@@tripillthreat They just had two bad candidates. Trump was seen as the lesser evil as Biden is seen as the lesser evil to trump
@@DanksterPaws Seeing Trump as the lesser evil to anyone is moronic. He’s not only wantonly cruel; he’s stupendously incompetent. Americans can never overcome this. Reasonable people of good will should leave as soon as is practicable.
@@tripillthreat Well don’t put it on me. I didn’t say Trump IS the lesser evil to Hillary. I said he was -seen- as the lesser evil by the Americans. I don’t even live in the US
Repeal and replace Trump!

A real deal maker never goes in a sixtime bankruptcy spree. He is a disgrace.
Will Lyman has one hell of a voice
I am not an American but the last words in this video is shocking. He want a win for himself instead a care for his people. GOD bless MC Cain I think he voted with wisdom. Every poor person receiving this care will always send his blessing him.
I still don’t get this Trump dude. He called the Post fake news but then also gave them information.
I’m Ridin’ with Biden. 2020!!!
I feel bad for you.
I hope you enjoy gas prices
Honorable senator John McCain stood in the way
The four years of his term he did not come up with no health insurance plan
We're still waiting to see DJT'S health care plan.
Trumps health care plan has always been, just let them die.
Was hoping to see the epic john mccain clip. But awesome stuff Frontline.
Ironic the Republican Mitt Romney (Gov.-Mass) started free health care for his Massachusettes people (Romneycare) and O'Bama's people liked it so much that he designed the Affordable Care Act after many of those principles.
Neither "Romneycare" nor "Obamacare" is or ever was free except for a very small number of people who qualify for deep subsidies and/or Medicaid. Romney made it mandatory to have health insurance in Mass. and offered a marketplace for people who didn't have access to insurance through their employers. This was actually the idea of a Republican PAC that wanted to cover everyone but not destroy the US's insurance company infrastructure. Obama built a nationwide program emulating many of those ideas and adding additional ones.
What's truly ironic is the number of people who are known to have said things like, "Thank God I got coverage through the Affordable Care Act instead of that stupid Obamacare!" They are of course the same thing.
Never liked Romney but he stood up to tRump give credit where it's due.
Hahaha biggest failure in history for a President!
Trump couldn’t close a jar of peanut butter.
I'm glad that Ryan guy isn't the house speaker no more he'll do anything for trump like lie,lie,lie thats all the trump administration is terrible. PLEASE vote for Biden 2020 👍
Trump: “I don’t need this Republican Party”
Thus started that fascist party of the Trump party (Trumpism)
Run by a bunch of Trumpanzees.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it actually does come to that
What in the actual FUCK was Kellyanne Conway doing anywhere near the Oval Office? Holy shitfuck, these are the people running our country. HOLY FUCK!!
Corey Lewandowski. One of the rats that jumped ship, but paddles furiously alongside the wake.
A thumbs down from John McCain was a middle finger to trump.
Most people probably see the potential benefit. It was a flawed bill from the start, but instead of attempting to repeal 60+ times imagine what could have been done if the same energy went into refining it. It might have actually befitting countless tax paying citizens instead of wasting time. Congress sure appears to be a well oiled machine. Those guys have forgotten who works for whom.
Republicans dubbed it Obamacare. The last thing they wanted to do was improve it.
It was a nightmare plan from the very beginning that would have devastated this country, even more than healthcare already does. It was a giveaway to the rich. That's all it ever was.
How can his followers be so brainwash... I don't understand....
In the past, conservatism in the US used to be ideologically based around ideals of going slow, of being cautious. You can see this reflected in their support for things like the EPA and regulations intended to bring caution. Nowadays, thanks to wide-spread research science, most policies can be reflected on their merits before they happen, and yet conservatives reject them anyways. This has led to a widespread condemnation of science in conservatism, and thus a tendency to not be educated. Also, the southern strategy has been systematically leading to racism, or at least racists, being central to the Republicans. It got votes for Reagan, but tore apart the country.
Psychology still trying to understand the cult psyche. Think it comes from a need to belong and stand out at the same time. Like belonging to an exclusive club. It got enough members to be noticed, but not enough to be mainstream.
PS. And is not brainwashed. They were like that to start with. They just found like-minded ppl and got Trump, who landed the highest and most influential position in the US Government. The only problem is that they didn't learn enough about how the US government work to have complete control. Also, thanks to 9/11 and Bush, that our check and bal. is off. Too much power has been shifted to the Executive Branch.
Hard if congress gets big pharma and insurance company's lobby money.

Of course, he doesn't understand how to tie his shoe laces.
Trump doesn’t understand policy, reports, or the constitution. It’s a tragedy
Short Answer: McCain wouldn't have it.
Longer answer: no replacement.
LOL
That's what u get when u vote a business man to run a country... it's a very different thing altogether, now u know America haha especially when the business man has no basic education 😂
He just needed another 2 weeks.
This is why "businessmen" are not "politicians". And why the cancerous notion that the first skill set is fungible with the second needs to die.
Trumputa rarely recognizes the difference between his fundament and a pothole.
Filibuster
This is a deal Donald Trump could not make. Why? Because this was a deal in ideology, but the orange clown only understands monetary transactions.
Trump 🤮
Trump's arrogance, hubris and weakness are central aspects of his character.
Looks like ill have to pay another $750 for not having health insurance again. How great that being low middle class I have to throw money down the drain again.
Jim why do you not have health insurance ?
Pr3ssPl4y I could have, but then I would be down more then paying the fine.
Pr3ssPl4y an i could die tomorrow choking on a piece of gum. I guess ill just blow my own ass an click my heels for supper. Go Joe Rogan
On what planet? Bronze BC/BS is $813/mo. where I live, $7,000 deductible first. Full-price O'care is a ripoff. Crazy expensive. That's before any 'care' is given. Just to have the card in my wallet.
Nope.
I have other things to do with $1,300/mo. Like pay rent and utilities.
@@sunshinelawfan7693 man, shit like this makes me feel grateful i live in a country where insurers don't bankroll policymakers. You guys are fucked.
the most laughable and unrespected president and administration ever..what happened to the USA...
We let Russia elect him to fuck us up. Touche' Putin.
Trump doesn't expect action, he expects everybody to kowtow to his stupid ideas.
I'll try again on my second term.
im a right leaning moderate but everybody needs to vote blue in 2018!
I'm a left leaning nationalist and everybody needs to vote red in 2018!
I’m a left leaning liberal who wonders what the democratic party has done since Trump got elected to get my vote in November?
Refuses to support universal healthcare, no plan to fix Obamacare, no plan to get money out of politics, no jobs program, vote against importation of cheaper drugs from Canada, attacks candidates during primary, more Wall street deregulation when its or ready booming, etc.
I will be staying home.
Nope red
