"They wanted to understand what our concerns were,"
Brandon said, adding that specifics of proposals to
address those concerns were not discussed.
Yep…That always solves problems …
Specifics are …hard –
Well, the policy specifics in this case are easy: cut the Medicaid expansion. It’s the politics specifics that are difficult: how do they blame the resulting loss of insurance for millions of people on Obama?
They can’t blame Obama and many live in red states.
You can’t reason with the unreasonable. We can’t keep having these fights. Let Red states divorce themselves from the Federal safety net programs. Let Blue states prosper and Red states all become Kansas. Best solution available.
This and other articles on this bill say that the Republicans can only spare two “no” votes in order to pass. But what about VP Pence’s vote in the event of a tie? Or does reconciliation, which this bill incorporates, not allow a VP tie-breaker vote?
Yes, Brandon is concerned that the white working class poor, which they kissed up to last year, would not be immediately bankrupted by this bill.
That’s a real concern of GOP “populists.”
Pants on fire--------literally…

.* I can’t bring myself to use FSM. That just makes me think of Mario Savio.
Don’t count on that. They can’t reasonably blame Obama but we’ve already seen the signs that they are going to try.
But get the feds out of it.
Oh, man. These guys really crack me up. Why don’t they just build a wall around red states? It would solve all their problems and it would not be hard to do.
It won’t work this time. Social media is on it big time.
