Trump has zero credibility among any senators, so his tiresome whining in support of the tax cut bill for the rich funded by stripping tens of millions of health insurance will, we all hope. Boomerang.

Yeah his understanding of Congress and its members is nonexistent.

He’s coming unglued. He’s lashing out all over.

They neither love nor fear him - he’s screwed. It better be one or the other if you profess to be the leader.

It’s increasingly looking like Capito has been bought. Trump is still pretty popular in her state despite the fact they would be among the hardest hit. Surely she’s in a tough spot, but probably most vulnerable to pressures from the WH.

Heller, Cassidy, Murkowski have been under intense pressure now, but I don’t know if they have yet signaled their vote like Capito.

I know, right? It’s like my co-workers might think I’m pro drumph, (they don’t really), because his pic is on my monitor so much.

Once again, every last bit of the language is about the need to win and to keep some sort of mythical commitment. Almost none of it acknowledges (even dishonestly the notion that this bill will affect tens of millions of lives.

Pretty sure that Murkowski is a no on the MTP.

He’s never reported on what his Hawaiian investigators found, either.

Cornyn is trying to get him back per Andy Slavitt -I think I posted it above. It may be a pressure move to get a couple of fence sitters into the yes for MTP per Slavitt.

I feel the same way.

Yes, I saw your post. Not sure if McCain is willing to get back for that vote when he has a perfectly legitimate reason to be absent. We’ll see…

I doubt his doctor would allow him to fly.

Has anybody noticed that the “repeal” bill would keep ACA until July (or August) 2019, six or seven months into the new Congress? Can anyone think of a better campaign issue for the Democrats to win back Congress? Me, neither.

“It’s time to follow through with your promise to devastate the US economy, your constituents and the communities in the states you represent,” said this man who has no idea what’s at stake.

Apparently Cornyn is trying to get the doctors’ approval to have his vote for whatever bill that takes away doctors from millions.

I truly hope the docs will say No.

The real tell will be whether McConnell allows a vote at all tomorrow.

He’s only going to do it if the whip count says he has enough votes to move something forward.

Trump said Americans had been living with Obamacare as law “for the past 17 years,”

When did Obama become a pharaoh?

Cornyn offered an RV. Seriously, the man is recovering from brain surgery and he suggested that he drive nonstop cross country for a vote. I cannot fathom the stupidity and cruelty.

THE GOP "PROMISED NOTHING, they lived a lie on this issue for years knowing the fallout for installing a bill this heinous will have severe consequences.Exactly why do the even pretend this travesty will be acceptable to anyone but the wealthy manipulators who put them in power?So transparent and morally despicable.
