I hope you are right. Let Trump-Teaparty Care drown in no votes.
Sure hope all those moderates go and have their picture taken with Trump.
If it passes by one vote, even though GOP has a 40 vote advantage, CNN and NYT will trumpet: “Major win for Trump!” it’s what they do.
SHAME (body invalid)
Pole being erected in East Room. Malaria doing stretches.
they voted to take health insurance away from tens of millions, by one vote, without a single democratic vote. and then they – ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE – chanted “na na na hey hey goodbye.” as they voted – literally – to kill people.
i hate republicans so much. all of them. anyone who voted for them included.
I hope that we’re able to get copious video footage of this celebration. It will play very well during the 2018 elections.
yeah, @captaincommonsense is correct - this dies in the senate unless McYurtle nukes the last remaining filibuster.
ETA: This bus photo op feels a bit like chicken counting…
Damned glad I have Medicare.
For as long as it lasts

Clarifying numbers:
“If all members vote, and all Democrats oppose the bill, Republicans can lose no more than 22 members to approve the repeal.”
Video galore of clueless Versailles reveling in its smackdown of the peasants and their sick children.
“Let them eat Bud Light.”
(Oh, please let there be cake, please let there be cake, please let there be cake…)
Caption–“I’m the biggest asshole!” “No, I am!” “No way–I voted to take away health care from sick children!”
The DNC had better scoop up all the footage of drunken Rs giving each other high-fives and downing their piss water. “Mission Accomplished” all over again, methinks.
As the AHCA passed with 217 votes, there was a chat of “Nah, nah, nah, nah… nah, nah nah, nah… hey, hey… Good-bye!” on the chamber floor.
The question I have is was that:
- The Republicans saying good-bye to all the Americans who will die as a result of their vote
OR
- The Democrats saying good-bye to the Republicans who will have to run with this around their neck

[/quote]That’s just it – if this makes it to the Senate, I fully expect Bitch to do his part and jump on the winning bandwagon. He has nothing to lose at this point.
Sorry. You’re correct. They passed it with one vote to spare, I guess.
Except his majority.
I bet it will pass. Remember that they’re counting on the Senate to kill–er–fix the bill.
Oh my god.
Trump has an excuse, but what’s Ryan’s?
