Forget something? MSNBC producer's Obamacare tweet leaves out one VERY important detail

Yesterday, Donald Trump sent out this tweet about Obamacare:

ObamaCare premiums are going up, up, up, just as I have been predicting for two years. ObamaCare is OWNED by the Democrats, and it is a disaster. But do not worry. Even though the Dems want to Obstruct, we will Repeal & Replace right after Tax Cuts!

Now, whether the GOP will actually do anything to get rid of the disaster that is Obamacare remains to be seen (and given what we’ve seen from them so far, it’s not terribly likely). But this defense of Obamacare from Lawrence O’Donnell’s producer Kyle Griffin is most definitely not grounds for keeping the law around:

Should be noted that, after 3 weeks of open enrollment, people are signing up for Obamacare at a record pace. https://t.co/gkn88wlCDh

Yeah, that’s what happens when you mandate something. If Obamacare is so great why does it have to be mandated? pic.twitter.com/nNj4NWjR3x

Amazing that when you force people to sign up for something or face monetary penalties, enrollment rates increase.
