Republicans in Congress would be quite happy to have Trump own the health bill. The bill is a disaster they would like to get away from. And of course many Republicans suspect Trump may not even be in office in 2018 if he continues to be such a nutcase.

Will Donald be around to see anyone primaried if they don’t repeal Obamacare?

I don’t think so. I think he is going to be primaried by the FBI/DOJ.

Understand he has a fabulous hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan where he can spend his declining years in exile, surrounded by his Russian kleptocrat comrades.

Ok, they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

Have I mentioned before one of my favorite spectator sports is circular firing squads. I’m all for them! Can’t wait to see the bloody aftermath. They all deserve it so much for the ruin they are causing.

What part of the majority of Americans DO NOT want the ACA repealed don’t they get? You can fix it if you’re smart enough, otherwise, leave it the hell alone!

They better be weighing up the pluses and minuses of sticking with the PeePeeKing quickly.

I’ve heard that Preshitident Trump has not read the TrumpCare bill and has not contributed even a single idea to it.

I suspect that’s code for, “buying insurance across state lines”. Cheaper, but unregulated, IOW, not really insurance.

Baku, Azerbaijan was where Ivanka Trump was exchanging money and favors with surrogates of the Iranian Republican Guard.

Don the Con is threatening them if they vote against the tax cut for the rich bill? Trump thinks GOP ACA customers will reward their representatives for stripping them of health care to assist the rich? Since Trump’s a compulsive liar, and is increasingly hated by all Americans, why do they care what he says?

Here is what I think Trump should have said to the House republicans; “What we are offering you is a historic opportunity to choose how you want to lose your next election. Ether vote for ACA repeal and lose to someone on your left in the general election or vote against it and lose to someone on your right in a primary. Never before have you had this level of control of your future.”

"And I think he made the sale. I think he moved a handful of votes."

Trump is like QVC. Dependent on stupidity to make a sale.

In an unrecorded session with GOP “Freedom Caucus” members, Trump promised them all a free timeshare at "Trump Club – Mogadishu"™ if they vote in support of the bill. Indeed, sources close to Trump also revealed he later “sweetened the pot” with these recalcitrant members by offering a year’s supply of "Trump Over Cooked Steaks with Ketchup"™ and "Trump Redneck LoFo Moonshine"™.
