We should not be gloating. They will try again next year. They must. They have promised too much for too long.

So long as Republicans control Congress and the WH, everything we’ve built is in peril.

“We have the votes for health care. We have one senator that’s in the hospital. He can’t vote because he’s in the hospital,” Trump told reporters outside the White House, echoing a claim he made earlier in the morning on Twitter. The President was likely referring to Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), who is not in Washington, D.C. due to a health issue.

I didnt know that Trump is a Cubs fan.

And I’ll probably be signing a very major executive order where people can go out, cross state lines, do lots of things and buy their own health care, and that will be probably signed next week. It’s being finished now. It’s going to cover a lot of territory and a lot of people.

Probably very major! Do lots of things! Probably being finished!

It’s a remarkably concise whirlwind of almost every sort of Trumpist bullshit. It just needs a “we’ll see” for the hat trick.

“I am considering an executive order on associations and that will take care of a tremendous number of people with regard to health care,” he said. “And I’ll probably (maybe … maybe not … don’t know for sure, gotta wait and see) be signing a very major executive order … where people can go out (of their car?), cross state lines, do lots of things (don’t they already cross state lines and “do lots of things?”) and buy their own health care (they for sure as hell are gonna pay for it because Uncle Sam won’t, believe me), and that will be probably signed next week. It’s being finished now. It’s going to cover a lot of territory (don’t forget the commonwealths along with those states!) and a lot of people.” (Donald)

Donald is a wee bit tipsy, making such bold predictions.

Yes, if Murkowski is swayed by the bribes, and Cochran returns, we could see another vote in 2018, that could pass. The Republicans are determined to destroy health care for Americans.

I’ll have some peanut butter fudge, a T-shirt and that chalkware vase for Aunt Esther. Oh, and gimme one-a those Statue of Liberty fidget spinners and an individual plan with a $5,000 annual deductible."

First tell me who is going to put their name on another ACA repeal? Who will co-sponsor it? Then who will bring it to a vote?

This one’ll be stale in a few days, like the idea of folding it into the tax bill.
