I don’t care how many times he washes his hands, he is still the second dirtiest person in the government, next to tRump.

The fact that he himself is up for reelection surely factors in too.
Talk about an understatement!

Other gop senators should take notice when McConnell neck is on the line he wants nothing to do with Aca repeal, but when it wasn’t he was all for it.

What complete partisan bs that shows his only real concern is keeping his job with no real concern of doing a good job for the citizens of his state or country.

According to a report yesterday,the WH is asking a handful of GOP Senators to draft a replacement healthcare plan.

Scared, Mitch?

You seem scared.

I’d venture to say he’s the first.

This was a smart move by McConnell but it’s not going to help his side. They’re all on record as having voted to kill the ACA, for bad replacement plans and against preexisting conditions. They’ve almost all supported the law suit engineered to overturn the ACA in the courts. The ads write themselves. Nancy Pelosi is going to hammer them with such ads in the House campaigns. Senate Dems and our nominee will follow suit.

So he’s not really washing his hands of it, he’s just staying in the background while continuing to work for more dead americans.

So about this suit: how hard would it be for the House to pass a bill reinstating the penalty (perhaps at a lower level), and would McConnell let that come to a vote in the senate?

Mitch, if you were the operator with the long-range vision many people including you think you are, you’d have seen this coming, because this is always what happens. Can you fly on the Trump Shuttle, Mitch? Can you watch a USFL game? Can you grill a Trump steak? No? What does that tell you, genius? Maybe you should have checked this guy out before you bet the ranch on him.

“…his strategy is to keep asking the White House for a replacement healthcare plan while he bashes Democratic proposals.”

In other words, McConnell washes his hands of Trump’s bad-faith Obamacare attacks, while preparing his own bad-faith Obamacare attacks.

McConnell knows that trying again in a now-divided Congress will be a fruitless effort and will make Senate Republicans look bad worse, if that’s possible, headed into 2020…

Speaking of McConnell, I’m not hearing much about this anywhere.

But there is Benghazi …

In that case…the ball is in Trump’s golf course.

If Trump really wants a BIG win, he could pull another unorthodox and humiliating move to the establishment and start demanding single payer Medicare for all healthcare…that would be very widely supported by Americans and Corporations. Imagine corporations not having to worry about health insurance for employees and all the overhead in Personnel to administer those benefits and to fight insurance companies on denied claims. Then there is the huge cost savings businesses would see with Medicare for all.

Come dotard, you can do it…Mitch gave you the golf ball. Let’s see if you can hit or if you are just going to be an ongoing mulligan.

Yep, because he doesn’t even want to try should tell those Trump supporters how the game is really played. But they won’t get it.
