Republicans rush to align messages on Trump’s signature bill

Now that the Senate has fled Washington to the Labor Day, the Republicans finally have the opportunity to sell the “big and beautiful bill” of President Donald Trump to their voters, but some fear that Democrats already have an advantage in the email war.

Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Said that the Republicans could “absolutely” do better to sell the colossal bill to fight against the “lies” of the Democrats.

“Well, we should have been prepared from the start and talk about:” No, we are not talking about reforming Medicaid designed for (women, children and the elderly). We examine how we can save it and preserve it and repair the damage caused by the addition of Obamacare “, he told Fox News Digital. “We should have talked about it, but we didn’t do it.”

Since Trump signed the bill, and throughout the process to return it to his office, the Democrats have been largely unified in their attacks on the bill, reversing it as “the great ugly treason of the Republicans” and targeting cups in Medicaid, food assistance and a litany of other policies.

“It is a very unpopular bill, so if I were them, I would probably go out and start trying to turn,” said the Sen. Chris MurphyD-CONN., Said Fox News Digital.

Messaging against the bill has become a routine in the speeches of the chief of the minority of the Senate Chuck Schumer, where it often targets the Medicaid cuts presented by the GOP as reforms of a broken system.

“The more the Americans discover the bill of the Republicans, the more they realize that Donald Trump and the Republicans sold them a gross agreement,” said New York Democrat in a soil speech last week. “The” great ugly treason of the Republicans “is one of the bills most devastating for the health care of the Americans that we have ever seen.”

The survey of the favor of the bill among the Americans also works against the Republicans. A Fox News survey was carried out in June after the GOP of the Chamber adopted the legislation revealed that 59% of respondents opposed the bill.

Senator Roger Marshall, R-Kan., Accused that “90% of the media are lying” on the bill, and have countered that the Republicans increased Medicaid spending faster than the inflation rate “up to 200 billion dollars per year when everything is said.”

“This is not the first message like this that we had trouble making the truth,” he told Fox News Digital.

“Republicans have to look into it,” he continued. “We have worked very hard, and we will save and preserve Medicaid for those who need it most. And we have to share this.”

Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo., Maintained that the Republicans should not be timid about the work they put in the bill.

Hawley, shortly after the adoption of the bill at the beginning of last month, organized an event in his country of origin which pushes the bill. In addition to the former representative Cori Bush, D-Mo., Hummed the inclusion by the bill of his law on the remuneration of radiation, which has renewed and expanded the financing of the remuneration of persons exposed to nuclear waste.

When asked if the Republicans had started slow to sell the bill, he said that too much time had been devoted to speaking “of Medicaid, for my taste”.

“That’s less of that,” he said. “Talking about tax reductions in this bill for workers, you know. I mean, that’s what people want. I mean, I was asked when I got home. I was immediately asked by people:” When it is taxes on advice? When is it starting? “So, I mean, people follow him, but they follow what is for them.”

And Senator Tommy Tubberville, R-Ala., Accused that the Democrats have “no credibility” when it comes to denigrating the GOP for cuts and reforms.

“We have had a lot of time,” he told Fox News Digital. “There will be a lot of water under the bridge. You won’t hear about the” big and beautiful bill “here in another year because there will be some other big bills.”
