You can always rely on so called "moderate Republicans to fold when it come time to vote. They have been doing it for years and there is little hope they will change their behavior now. Sad.

And of course the “skinny repeal” requires more than two sentences of explanation of how it would screw people. Thus, SOLD! to the American voters.

They are, unfortunately, like Dems in that regard. Why is it that the crazy ones have the most spine?!?

“Repealing the individual mandate destroys the individual insurance markets.” There, done.

@leeks Susan Collins is still dead set against any of this.

"…always rely on so called “moderate Republicans to fold.”

Yep. Always. They have no spine, only a PAC and a pleading look in their eyes.

Wouldn’t it be great to see the entire GOP out of work in 3 years?

Because appealing to “moderate” Republican’ts worked to well in the 2016 election. Quit playing defense, Chuck, and start playing offense, even if it offends your Wall Street masters…

Ron Johnson still sounds mad at McConnell. Murkowski?

The GOP resort to chicanery, trickery, and deceit?

Ok, it was a stupid question…

Anybody else find it curious that McLame is leaving his post-surgery rehab for this clusterfk?

Indeed, this strategy is custom designed to give them permission to cave.

Tinker with one-sixth of the American economy without even knowing what they’re voting on?

Republicans are irresponsible. They’re enabling the Trump-Bannon vision of tearing this great country down.

Trump’s finances always perform better in a bad market.

Oh for fuck’s sake.

You don’t even understand why that statement is circumstantially ridiculous, do you?

I’m not so sure this is the right approach. The GOP runs the show and I fear will get what they want. It might be wiser to get past the motion to proceed and get to a vote on actual legislation. That would be crunch time. I doubt even with this bunch outright repeal with nothing to fill in the gaps would get to 51. So take this out of the backrooms where motions to proceed are hashed out and put it on the floor of the Senate where legislation is. Lets see it. Tell us what our “choices” are and perhaps Senator Paul can tell us where the freedom in not having heath insurance is to be found.

You can’t fight this when your opponent conducts themselves like the Taliban. Hiding and avoiding direct confrontation. So put it out there.
