A more fitting title would be: 83% percent of American’s despise the GOP Death Bill.

About half of Republicans said they would blame Democrats if their party’s bill collapses

What a bunch of whiny every-bad-thing-is-other-people’s-fault idiots.

In other news, the GOP could care less what the public wants…other than votes.

Appears Trump’s base is still sticking with him at all costs.

I can just see the response.
Americans representing 99% of the wealth in the United States favor the Trump plan by a 5 to 1 margin. These are the people who take the investment risks which drive our economy. They should be listened to.

Unfortunately, even with news like this, Ron Johnson can’t make up his mind.

That’s the most interesting takeaway for me, but it’s a perhaps unintended side benefit to Trump of his non-involvement in the mechanics of creating the bill and getting it passed. He has no fucking clue whatsoever what’s actually in it, which mirrors the ignorance of his supporters.

One thing is certain though: if the bill had passed, Trump would be crowing and taking all the credit for it.

If Heller can make it through the sh*tstorm over the coming summer, he must be making a serious pact with the Devil.

The same Marist poll asked approval/disapproval questions too.

Come on, Liz Warren, beat the shit out of the “Single Payer” drum!! We need Single Payer now more than ever. The rethugs cannot come up with anything remotely workable leaving Big Insurance in the mix. “For-Profit Health Care” simply doesn’t work. Medicare for Everyone. Medicaid for Those Who Need It. Single Payer. Single Payer. Single Payer.

The message has to be Medicare for all and not single payer. Single payer is either not understood or considered socialized medicine. Medicare is known by everyone and approved by most…

Yes, but did they poll multi-millionaires?

Just in: Poll finds a delusional 17% that think they are in the 1% that will get the tax break. Everyone else? Screwed.

Until the results were obvious , Then he would throw his party to the wind
Act like he had nothing to do with it and his supporters would cheer

I wish, at one of these scrums where Trump just squats on his chair grimacing, a reporter would yell out, “What does historic failure feel like?” I bet he’d stop grimacing and loosen his tongue…
