In listening to the video several times the words "repeal" were spoken.  Nowhere however, have I ever heard Pence or Ryan say the words repeal!! 

Pence takes ObamaCare replacement pitch to Florida, thanks voters for 2016 win



Vice President Pence paid a thank you call Saturday in Florida, thanking voters for helping President Trump win the White House and vowing to repay them with a replacement for “nightmare” ObamaCare.

Pence’s visit marked the second consecutive weekend that he has traveled to states to garner support for the Republican-crafted bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare -- ahead of a key House vote scheduled for Thursday.

“Thank you for your hard work, your support, your prayers,” Pence said in Jacksonville, Florida. “Your votes have set us on a path to make America great again.”

Pence tried to assure voters that the GOP House leadership bill, the American Health Care Act, has solid Republican support, despite concern from some of Congress’ most conservative members. 

“President Trump supports the bill 100 percent, and we all do,” said Pence, a conservative and former House member who in recent weeks has worked Capitol Hill for Republican support.

The scheduled House floor vote Thursday, if successful, could send the bill to the GOP-controlled Senate, then to the president’s desk.

Pence, who last weekend visited Kentucky, took his appeal Saturday directly to Florida voters, arguing that ObamaCare has failed them and others across the country.

“Florida’s actually a textbook example of what’s wrong with ObamaCare. … Florida can’t afford ObamaCare anymore,” said Pence, citing premium increases of 19 percent over last year in the state and amid fears the new plan will leave Americans with higher premium costs and fewer health-plan choices.

“The ObamaCare nightmare is about to end,” he continued.

To be sure, Florida helped Trump in his improbable 2016 White House win. Its 29 Electoral College votes were the most of any battleground state. And Florida voted in 2008 and 2012 for Democratic President Obama....

Exactly.  If Trump and the GOPe get this one wrong, they're done for 2020.  Just about every GOP and GOPe candidate, including Trump campaigned on the promise of REPEAL, not replace!!  They've been campaigning on this promise for the past several elections.  It is time to deliver.

If they don't, it will be a big middle finger to the people who voted them in to do what they promised.
