President Trump reiterated this afternoon that he thinks the GOP should just let Obamacare fail.

After more senators came out against the latest repeal-and-replace bill last night, the President said the Republicans should just repeal Obamacare and work on a new plan from scratch.

This afternoon Trump made these comments to reporters:

“We’ll just let Obamacare fail. We’re not going to own. it. I’m not going to own it. I can tell you the Republicans are not going to own it.”

And then, he added, Democrats will “come to us” asking for help to fix it.
