i feel like āserious concernsā is like āsternly worded letter.ā
heāll do what he said heāll do (or not), and magically come to the conclusion that itās good for nevadans, and that he can grudgingly support it.
wash, rinse, repeat, until we get to 50.
How to Cave - Republican style.
by
Sue Collins, Dean Heller, Portman, McCain etc.
Sounds like Kabuki theater to me. Heller is trying to take the heat off of himself until he votes for the Trump/McConnell/Ryan DO NOT CARE Bill. I hope his constituents will not be fooled by his play acting.
Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) said Thursday that he has yet to make a decision on his support for the Senateās bill to repeal Obamacare, but he said in a statement that he has āserious concernsā about how the legislation will impact those on Medicaid.
Isnāt Hellerās considered one of the most endangered Senate seats in 2018? And didnāt Clinton carry Nevada?
but he said in a statement that he has āserious concernsā about how the legislation will impact those on Medicaid.
ā¦but will still vote to pass the bill.
Like Josh says, R moderates always cave.
Yes, itās all been scripted by Mitch. Heās already counted noses.
Another WH beer bash on June 29.
Oh yes, Clinton DID carry NV.
AND, - as the icing on the cake, Heller now has a real Dem challenger. Jacky Rosen, who just got elected to the House, is running against Heller. And she has the backing of Reid.
Concerns publicly stated, his conscience is now clear and he will proceed to vote for the bill. As Josh Marshall has repeatedly pointed out, the moderates always cave.
I donāt think weād have seen a bill if he didnāt have the votes to bring it home.
On the plus side, the Senators who were ostensibly writing this bill get to see it now, too!
As I have consistently stated, if the bill is good for Nevada, Iāll vote for it and if itās not ā I wonāt.
I hope Nevadanās hold you to that Mr. Heller, because so far there is nothing in the House bill or the proposed Senate bill that is good for anyone except Sheldon Adelson.

āSerious concernsā means a yes vote, āAs long as you can keep those old farts out of my town halls till they die!ā
And then he heard that Cornyn has 2,000,000 losing insurance & is laughing about it.
Hmmm. Makes my 200,000 look kinda small!
Yeah, he is over a barrel with this. Sue Collins probably wonāt vote for it (our state is so old and poor, and SMALL ā she wouldnāt be able to show her face here anymore). Murkowski wonāt vote for it because itās even worse for Alaska and she is totally badass ā won as a WRITE-IN candidate when a teabagger won her primary some years back, so she knows her seat is safe from any leadership threats. Thatās it ā Heller and Flake have to vote for it, and if they do, thatās it for their Senate seats in 2018.
You familiar with Randy Bryce? Heās running against Paul Ryan. I really wish we could get more people like him to run. He may not succeed at first, but heās the kind of candidate Democrats need in red districts. His ad:
John McCain just weighed inā¦
GOP Sen. Heller Has āSerious Concernsā About Senate Billās Cuts To Medicaid
I dunno why do they even botherā¦ we all know which way he is going to vote when it the call comes.
Because most of those are above Level II in the Fitzpatrick scale, deserve suffering for past sins.
ā¦As I have consistently stated, if the bill is good for Nevada, Iāll vote for it and if itās not ā I wonāt.
And we can believe a politicianās promise because??
