If recent town halls are a measure it would seem (like much of what trump says) the opposite is true. You vote for this train wreck and you will loose your seat!

Did His Orangeness resort to crotch grabbing as an inducement?
Exhibit A for a Trump ally. Birds of a feather-sexists, overweight blowhards.

Rock, meet Hard Place. Nice to meet you, Hard Place. Looks like weâve got some GOP Congress critters between us. They did put themselves here, so I wouldnât feel too guilty if we crushed them. How about you, Hard Place?

HMMMM, Rock and a hard place? Damned if you do and dammed if you donât. Whatâya going to do?
Traitor-Trump wonât be around much longer, so consider the source.
When??? IF EVER has there been any happy days under the days of Republicans in WA. Their days in office are full darkness and gloom.
Democrats are much happy and have a much better sense of better days ahead for all.
Republicans are hateful, petty, nasty, liars, dark and gloom surround their view of the world. NO SENSE OF HUMOR.
Trump is a TRATOR to our country.

Meadows, for his part, told reporters that he doesnât mind being called out by name by the leader of the free world.
I didnât realize heâd been called out by Angela Merkel. Must have missed that.

âAnd if we fail, there will be consequences for our party and for us as individuals.â Rep. Richard Hudson (R - NC)
And thatâs pretty much what it comes down to folks. Screw the millions who will be thrown off their insurance, the thousands who will die or be bankrupted. These Profiles in Courage might actually have to survive aâŠprimary!

âIâm still a no,â he said, âbecause the bill that weâre currently considering does not lower premiums for the vast majority of Americans, and thatâs what we need to do.â
Wow! Didnât realize that was a Freedom Caucus priority! I will, of course, take them at their word since they obviously believe in Freedom and stuff (I mean, why else would they have that wonderful, patriotic, totally-not-smarmy name?)

Trump doesnât want lower premiums.
He gets his kicks promising lower premiums, so he can go back on his promise, and smirk at everyone who believed him. Itâs how he validates his self-delusion of genius.
Besides, all the people and businesses heâll wreck are just opportunity for him to pick up deals.

Agreed, they all campaigned and were elected on the basis of repealing âevery wordâ of Obamacare, the they should just repeal for 2019 it and then campaign for 2018 bragging that they delivered what they promised and now promise a new super duper âTrumpcareâ promise.
Itâs so easy that I am surprised that even Paul Ryan hasnât figured out (Trump is beyond stupid, has no clue) . But as you say whatâs getting on the way of a big âwinâ is that they are trying to get rid of Medicare now, isntead of trying to do it after 2018, which unless they screw up royally they will still have majorities in both houses and the puppet in the White HouseâŠ

Tough spot for the soulless malingerers.Term in Congress that will be the target of the wrath of millions of Americans that viscerally understand what has happened to them or Teflon Don will call down a political tweet scourge on them at election time.These are currently the people determining our financial and societal future.ShudderâŠ

âThe change in Medicaid sounds small, but itâs close to $150 billion in
increased spending on the people that need it the most,â he told
reporters. "Look, does every group get everything they want [in the
bill]? No. But if youâre negotiating in good faith and you get a large
> amount of what you want, itâs time to come around and support."
Hahahaha -breathe- hahahaha
Negotiating in good faith⊠with Donald Trump! and the shark tank Freedom Caucus ⊠and Lyin Ryan⊠That is like sticking oneâs hand into a tank full of piranhas - in good faith.

What they havenÊ»t told him is that the âmovementâ he leads is actually a bowel movement.
It is a puzzlement confronting the GOP rank-and-file: vote against Lyinʻ Ryanʻs POS ⊠er ⊠Bill for whatever reason and face a 2018 primary challenge; or, vote for Lyinʻ Ryanʻs POS ⊠er ⊠Bill and face a real challenge in the 2018 General.
P.S. Hint to any GOP rank-and-filers reading this missive. You can vote against the AHCA because as shitty ideas go, this one is a giant among turds, or you can vote against the AHCA because as giant turds go, this one isnʻt nearly big enough. (For those not catching the metaphor: the AHCA is a really rotten idea, just look at the CBO score. But it doesnʻt go nearly far enough for the reactionary idiots who have backed them.)

Pure bluster. Trump may have followers but he doesnât control the GOP apparatus and couldnât ID an up and coming primary challenger in any district. Priebus might but his days are numbered.

And yet, he castigates Congress saying THEY ran on repealing Obamacare. Once again, the ârulesâ donât apply to The Donald. Sigh
