Discussion: Conservative Group Heritage Action Still Against Republican Health Care Bill

Remembering when they were TeaBabies? So cute and rambunctious wearing their TeaBaggerHats. The GOP coddled 'em, dandled 'em on their knees…and then, and then… They got 'em elected to the House /Senate… where they became recalcitrant TEAn-agers whose rebellion could not be quelled…

How’re things working out for ya, Paulie ?

I mentioned this on a previous thread but there are 42 members of the so-called Freedumb Caucus. Looks like, despite PeePee’s threats to throw any and all opponents of his out of office - as if he had the clout to do that - they’re gonna prevent this legislation from passing in the House.

Now we wait to see if RyRy even brings it to the floor for a vote. If he does and loses, he looks weak. If he doesn’t, he’s defying the GreatWideOrange and will face his wrath via twitter tantrump.

Either way, Dems just have to stay unified and vote NO

I’m curious as to how many are either on the fence or are either up or down.

Sanford (and to lesser extent,Jones n Brooks ) are on the shit list, but it’s going to be interesting to see how many are willing to ‘ride with em’.

Heritage came out as opposed again right? For FCers it may well carry a lot more weight – and they have no inherent loyalty to PeePee.

ETA: LOL! I came here straight from the mention and didn’t realize the article was about Heritage until after I posted this reply :smile: I read about it somewhere else.

Go to Sandford’s feed. He has a couple of more latest development.

I bought up the time stamp matter, because the TPM story was published at 11:19 n yet CNBC sent out.that tweet at 11:45.

I know that time marches on, but the outlets are obviously comfortable in saying that Waldencare (because after Thursday…) ain’t going anywhere.

Perhaps “Septic Tank” is more apropos.

I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really want ‘King Mob’ to actually encourage wannabe Trumps to primary any modern Republican who votes against this bill on Thurs.

Ted Yoho doesn’t come off as a humanitarian in that clip.

Yoho comes off as a guy who seriously believes that a rabid and cross-eyed dog wouldn’t bite him, were that opportunity to happen.

He’s been in office for four years and it wouldn’t surprise me if he believes that the best replacement bill is just a repeal bill.

Jeez, I hate these morons.
