You better not get any or I’m going to want to know why the Democrats stuck their heads in a noose…

Nope. You break it, Ron, you own it.

Knock me over with a feather and gag me with a raccoon. The party of interminable incompetence hit a snag?

Dems should either refuse to participate or ride these fuckers all the way to single payer. I’d be happy with either.

Sorry guys. You’ve voted to kill ACA over 60 times purely for political advantage. No mention of replacement then. You are on your own.

You didn’t have already the tentacles of Obamacare, you didn’t already have the damage, the destruction, the harm created by Obamacare driving premiums up, distorting health care markets and health insurance markets," Johnson said.

Oh, you sweet talker, you! With words of praise like that, the Dems will just flock to you and your 'pub buddies!

Explain to me again how Feingold lost to this muthafucker?

See, the Dems tried to get your help on the ACA and the GOP screwed them. Obama rolled over for them, gave them what they asked for, killed the single payer, and … no Republicans voted for it.

You also made Dems own ObamaCare as a result.

Guess what. If you want to replace it, then you own it.

Unless, of course, you’re willing to do Medicare for all or another single payer system. Then I’m all in.

Good luck getting it as Schumer has made it clear that anyone who reaches across the aisle gets the arm chopped off. And he gave Warren the ceremonial sword.

This atrocious tool beat Russ Feingold.

I believe Republicans as a party will do everything possible to destabilize the Obamacare Exchanges this year. Watch for Trump action reversing Obama’s executive orders regarding subsides in the first few days of his administration as a tell if this is actually their plan. That way they can sell their program in 2018 without paying too high a political price.

17 million people losing healthcare in 2018 is not a bug, it’s a feature.

Good!!

Schumer is exceeding my expectations so far and I hope he keeps it up.

Fuck that – said every sane Democrat who wants to keep their jobs in 2018 and beyond.

You break it, you bought it. Don’t expect the Democrats to help you pay for it.

Governing is hard, isn’t it, ROJO?

Democrats need to let the GOP twist in the wind and suffer the consequences of their own incompetence.

Pottery Barn policy all the way.

My husband travels around Michigan on business. He just said that he can’t believe all the new health centers that have sprung up all over the state.

I wonder why that is.

Sounds like someone is coming around to realizing that governing is much harder than shameless grandstanding.

If Rump were to do that, health insurance companies would make the pain felt by their customers immediately. And, as an aside, if Johnson is coming out with this when he just solidly won re-election, then his corporate overlords must be fuming! Obviously business execs don’t want to go against Rump in the public view for fear of the Twitter backlash. But, they can and will work through their minions in Congress.

Senator Johnson, did you draw the short straw when the Majority Leader realized the abyss the GOP dug for itself?
