When the CBO Analysis come out, there will be real hell to pay by those who voted for this fetid POS. Constituents will be justifiably livid whether this ever becomes law or not.

I can not fathom what the hell Ryan et al were thinking about. Other that making Ryan and Trump ‘feel good’, there is no upside that I see to voting for this, None. Nada. Zero. Zilch.

“Don’t you think it was important to actually sit down and read the language of this bill?”

“Not as important as trying to score ourselves and Trump some sort of PR stunt illusion of a legislative win, no.”

I’ll admit, this is the first time I’m truly eager to see what the CBO says.

Fear of Trump’s retribution?

Good, I hope the media really nails them on this…they have made a huge deal over Pelosi’s remarks about passing the bill so people would know what was in it (which is a complete misinterpretation), and now the Republicans passed a bill without them even bothering to read it, much less understand it. Watching them try to explain the CBO report (which will be a disaster) and how they are trashing even employer provided health care, in light of not bothering to read the bill, will be rewarding…the Republicans deserve every bit of pain they are about to receive over this, and more.

It takes a special kind of idiot to look like an idiot compared to an idiot like Wolf Blitzer.

Now he can claim that he was misled (by the committees, staff, leadership, as convenient). “Hey, if I’d known just how bad this was, I would’ve voted no”.

Hey Chris, I wonder if all your GOP house colleagues that AREN’T in rocking-chair districts like you appreciate your idiotic comments today.

By the way, when will you be tattooing this vote on your forehead?

Looking at Trump’s tweets, and their total lack of relation to the truth, I’m wondering how often Trump properties are infested with vermin, have cockroaches, or black mold, or dead birds visibly in old spill-pipes (Trump hotel D.C.).

And, of course, had a Democrat said this, every single news anchor would be grilling them on this. 24/7.

The Pubbies have somehow finessed (rigged?) the CBO score so that it’s more ‘attractive’ than Rondo Hatton???

Sadly, the “mainstream media” has a tendency towards letting Republicans off the hook, if not outright aiding in spreading propaganda. (cough Fox news cough)

I can’t help but fear that’s a significant possibility. Of course, if they were really confident in their ability to decidedly influence the CBO score, why would they have rushed the vote?

Have you read the bill? Have you read the reconciliation bill? Have you read the Manager’s amendment? Hell no you haven’t.

Yup. The bipartisan centrist’s brigade would be spitting molten Broder and flaming Fournier bolts.
