Trump says GOP death sentence if no filibuster repeal  Obamacare
President Donald Trump  predicted the downfall of the Republican Party in an interview Friday unless lawmakers in the party make a significant change to Senate rules.
In an interview with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee   Trump  said lawmakers must repeal the legislative filibuster.
"They have to get rid of the just absolutely crazy voting where you need 60 — it's called the filibuster rule — it's a disaster "  Trump  said. "It's a disaster for the Republicans. They have to get rid of it. If they don't get rid of it  it's just a death sentence."
 Trump  partly blamed this filibuster for the failure of the Republicans' latest attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
"I thought that when I got to the Oval Office I would have a bill on my desk. Repeal and replace  a beautiful healthcare bill  and it didn't happen "  Trump  said.
This isn't the first time that  Trump  has brought up ending the filibuster: It is a frequent topic of  his  tweets. It also reportedly grates on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell  contributing to the pair's frosty relationship.
Recently  House Speaker Paul Ryan has joined  Trump  in saying the rule should be ended  increasing the pressure on McConnell.
