Those who think repeal-and-replace is dead may want to think again. https://t.co/7Tb5KHg22T

Apparently Sunday was “attempt to convince Republicans that ObamaCare can still be repealed and replaced day” (coincidentally, one day after April Fools because nobody would have believed this yesterday).
It started this morning with these two tweets from the president:
Anybody (especially Fake News media) who thinks that Repeal & Replace of ObamaCare is dead does not know the love and strength in R Party!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 2, 2017
Talks on Repealing and Replacing ObamaCare are, and have been, going on, and will continue until such time as a deal is hopefully struck.

And continued after Trump hosted Senator Rand Paul at his golf course in Virginia for a little 18-hole outreach:
I had a great time today with @realDonaldTrump and believe we are getting closer to an agreement on health care!
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) April 2, 2017
Paul told reporters after the round that he’s “optimistic” a deal could still get done:

Keep in mind, Paul hated the Ryan/Trump repeal and replace plan from the onset:

Including a bunch of tweets mocking House Republicans for not letting anyone see the bill as it was being drafted:
This is harder than it should be. But wait. I think someone left us a hint! pic.twitter.com/dxx27kjxPM
