I guess it’s just “screw you” if you live in one of the other 46 states that won’t be getting additional funding.

They “signal” opposition because if they simply opposed the bill the news would be the bill is done.

These two, for differing reasons prefer the attention be on them a bit longer than a passing mention in the Graham-Cassidy obituary

Let’s play “What’s It Take To Bribe This Senator?”

Is it likely that any of the four will be bought by such an obvious bribe? Or is this just political theater, because the leadership knows the battle is lost?

A twisted version of “The Price is ‘Right’” going on here? How much money will it take for them to abandon their principles?

Now that the bill is almost certainly defeated, Cruz in an amazing act of political cowardice, even for him, will now also oppose.

What a supreme douche.

I think it’s political theater geared towards punishing these holdout senators who refuse to play ball with these creeps.

Now the “bribed” will have to go the extra mile of explaining the long term devastation of this bill to their GOP constituents. GOP constituants The voters who brought you Trump. They have to get them to think.

So, yea, these craven GOP creeps are trying to sink them.

It all seems to be a giant game of Monopoly to them. Or maybe Lie, Cheat, and Steal.

It does seem that way, and it’s disgusting if it is. Over and over the GOP puts people on pins and needles wondering if they will have health care. If just three came out and said no way am I voting for this, because it’s wrong, then it would be over.

I agree it’s theater. Her state has mucho Medicaid people. She wants to run for governor.
Doubt if she wants this albatross hung round her neck.

Its done, like fried chicken. The Trouncies will just have to gut O-care the old fashioned way… in dark smoke filled rooms.

Typical of trump to hang with the crowd that drives poorly…tail gating, speeding and the rest and the audience that eggs them on
