Peggy Noonan: Reach across the aisle Mr President.

That is the title of Peggy Noonan's incomprehensible anti-Trump diatribe.

Ms Noonan is wrong on at least two counts:

1. First, the Democrats are not interested in reaching across the aisle. They simply want to drive President Trump from office. They make this clear every day, whether one listens to the incoherent Nancy Pelosi or to Chuck Schumer.

2. Obamacare was passed as part of Reconciliation, so its reform can be passed likewise: without Democrat votes.

There is a deep-seated reason why repeal/replace of Obamacare should be done without Democrat input. Obamacare was designed to fail, to be replaced by government run medicine as in Canada and Europe. So, a compromise with Democrats would involve the establishment of socialized medicine. And the essence of socialized medicine is government coercion, absence of control by the patient and rationing of care. Americans expressed their objection to Obamacare by decimating the Democrats who were for it in 2912, 2014 and 2016.

Yes, Miz Noonan, it is a complex subject and hard to do. But it should be done and not surrendered to the Socialists.
