The Rs can't really repeal Obamacare without getting rid of the 3/5ths rule to end debate in the Senate. So they either have to wait until 2018 or get rid of the rule.

I'm also thinking Trump will just dump all the baggage on Ryan and just go straight to the public with a new healthcare plan- with a bunch of carrots on sticks to hole the Dems into going through with it. Two birds with one stone: the Blue Wall in the senate, and that RINO Ryan.

Obamacare was passed through something called reconciliation (as part of the budget I believe). Those only require 51 votes (instead of 60), so the repeal only requires 51 votes as well.

I don't know if Dems are ever going to lift a finger to help Trump.

The Obamacare modification was passed through reconciliation. Obamacare itself was passed when Dems possessed a 3/5ths supermajority in the Senate.
