Anyone who has a calendar knows how close November 2018 is. Fear of the worst possible outcome will motivate the spineless critters. They will not upset that applecart or kill that golden goose or any metaphor of your choosing.

These guys know they are walking the plank by voting for this bill in the dark without knowing its costs that the CBO will announce next week. The same guys who accused Obama of “rushing” and “pushing” through Congress a health care bill that affects one-sixth of the economy are doing it before they even know what it will cost. The voters will make them pay for this clusterfuck.

As a constituent who has phoned numerous times to his offices this past week, I am very very pleased he has finally made the right choice. Of course, the fact that HRC took his district last year loomed over his head, but nonetheless a good decision is a good decision.

I’ve heard and read that President Obama worked on the bill for 18 months before it was ready to be voted on. These guys had 6-7 years to create something of their own and are now trying to shove this down our throats in three months. One can only conclude that everything that is wrong with politics is the fault of the Rs.

Ryan’s got the votes, and he’s releasing the reps who need cover and have a shot at getting re-elected.

Question: If Ryan really has the votes why is Trump talking for ten minutes to a guy that the Washington Post had already labeled as a No/Lean no vote?
Maybe trouble for Ryan/Trump?

Rubin who wrote this is a self-identified conservative, and yet this is how she sees the people who lead the party. Opportunistic, short sighted doofuses.

Thanks for the link.

@virginiacynic PP and Ryan hate each other. Ryan’s a little more diplomatic about their feud, while PP has no filter or self control, but they trash each other regularly.

My Nancy, she warms my heart.

I emailed my rep and said i would not vote for her. I expect a reply will come in about 6 months as it did with earlier emails to her. That’s Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ)

Tell her that voting for the AHCA will keep the tiny coffin industry humming until Dems retake Congress.

I alluded to Palin’s death panels and outlines why in my email.
