This is very clever on the part of Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed. He trolls Donald Trump expertly by appealing to his vanity. And in many ways it’s an offer Trump can’t refuse because he finally would be able to claim a health care program and now, not in two weeks.

Very clever ploy. I hope that Donald picks up on it and decides to run with it. And Donald can claim that it’s bi-partisan as well.
I think El-Sayed will be somebody to watch in the next few years because he knows exactly how to play the old man with the floofy hair.
Talk about twisting a political dagger in Trump’s gut! What’s a Trumpty-Dumpty to do? El-Sayed should convince other Democrats to go with this theme and watch Trump flail to respond. How he craves having his name on landmark legislation that will be celebrated for generations, a chance for an FDR type legacy! It reminds me of a skit from the Key & Peele show where ‘Obama’ turns the tables on a GOP that as we know publicly vowed to opposed ANYTHING he wanted to do:
Have I gone batshit insane or is this something Democrats should actually try?
