President Donald Trump has a novel idea for if and when the GOP's controversial Obamacare replacement plan fails to pass Congress: Lay the blame on Democrats.

Trump met with a variety of conservative groups who have been slamming the so-called American Health Care Act since its introduction in the House of Representatives Monday night.
