Starting to sweat 2018 already, moron??
Guess all those irate constituents at his Saturday clown hall made an impression on him.
“Yet.” I wonder if Issa hears Applegate’s footsteps coming in 2018, or if he is just another GOPer modeling himself after the master of phony moderation, Susan Collins.
Issa is feverishly trying to buy a yuge life insurance policy on DrumpfDon’tCare, so when it inevitably burns down and dies, he can collect.
It’s just his way…
How much lipstick will Paul Ryan need for this pig? What a hot mess

Darrell Issa* Republican 134,428 51.0%
Doug Applegate Democrat 129,100 49.0

What’s telling is that he’s “looking for the budget number.” Not the number of people who will be covered, not the effectiveness of the coverage, not the long-term viability of the proposal: the budget number.
Somebody is holding his feet to the fire and strange words are coming out of his mouth. But I don’t trust him at all.
Enacting Trumpcare is premeditated murder.
You shouldn’t trust him. He’s a sociopath. Read his Wikipedia bio.
Alternate headline: “Icky Issa is Iffy!”
Meh…I am pretty sure what he means by “budget number” is the CBO analysis, which will include the items you cite (or most of them…effectiveness of the coverage is a pretty subjective term).
Issa is in a rather interesting spot regarding Trump threats on all of this…Trump will not be holding a rally in his district, its in California. But, on the other hand, he is probably one of the most (if not THE most) vulnerable republicans in the House.
This gives him a certain amount of latitude to make statements like this. Trump isn’t going to go after him, and as long as he isn’t hosting a group of other GOP critters saying this, they can look the other way…“its just the necessary things to say in a tight election, he doesn’t really mean it”
Two possibilities here with Issa…
-
He’s trying to play coy to hold off any attack by the Trumpanzees at this time while trying to placate them in the process.
-
He’ll end up voting for Trumpcare as the loyal, unprincipled piece of shit that he is, while trying at best to avoid anymore bad press received from his constituents at his town halls…which has clearly had an impact on his seemingly impenetrable arrogance in recent days.
Either way, he’ll continue to be a sleazy scumbag, who’ll always do what’s in Issa’s best interest, and to hell with anyone else.
I wouldn’t trust Darrell Issa if he were sitting in an outhouse wearing a muzzle.
No I think we are seeing non gerrymandered districts as a cure for Republican assholery…
Ya know “Democracy”
Good stuff if you follow the instructions and use correctly.
May lead to moderation.
Your results may vary
Your comment just made be feel a glimmer of optimism. Thank you!
He is just stating, that the price for his vote has gone up…
