Speaker Ryan dropped a bombshell on every person who has ever voted Republican since 2010 because of the chance to repeal Obamacare:

Wow. Their steaming pile of crap, Obamacare Lite, (NON-REPEAL), “World’s Greatest Healthcare Plan of 2017” — No, I’m not even joking with that moniker — is apparently the best thing Republicans can offer after years of promising to repeal Obamacare.
Thank you, Republicans. Thank you for proving again that you can’t follow through on anything. You voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act how many times while President Obama was still in office, but the best you can offer now with a “Republican” in the White House is the same system shuffled around a bit and presented as new?
This is not the repeal you promised or Americans have been wanting.

We’ll keep voting them out of office until we get what we want.
In the meantime, a full court press is warranted to hound Ryan and his cronies out of leadership. Perhaps a threat of indictments for bribery might get them to think again about the strategy of holding the line for their big time corporate donors.
Defeatist much?
You’d think soros could at least give him gold.
RINOs. Always a major effing disappointment.
“Well, it is as close as we will ever get until those Chamber of Commerce / Establishment whores get replaced by their constituents, and they quit electing people like him and Boehner as Speaker.”
Congrats. You’re right. This is as close as we’ll get unless you achieve an election miracle and get 60 votes of hard core red meat Obamacare haters. You and I both know that won’t happen. The hard core has had what, 20 yrs to make that happen? After all that time to persuade, we have 8 fewer votes than the Dems had in 20010, just 7 yrs ago.
I guess you’re right, we should all just lay back and enjoy it.
If we don’t have the votes to do it right, it’s best to do nothing at all. ObamaCare is such a disaster that anything less than a FULL repeal and FULL replace is courting disaster.
Half a loaf in this case just won’t do. Tweak just one thing and it will forever be known as TrumpCare — every problem in health care will be tied to Trump and the GOP.
Best case in this scenario is to just tell the American people that we don’t have the votes in the Senate to do it right, so embrace the suck. You gave the Dems a super-majority in 2008 and you’re living the consequences. If you give us a super-majority in 2018, then ObamaCare goes away. If not, then continue to enjoy the suck.
Ryan is on Soros’ payroll proof:

and So is McCain
He is truly a godless mother fucher. I despise him.
A stretch maybe, but not a miracle. GOP has 52 now, and the Senate election scenario for Dems in 2018 is dismal.
If we cannot do it now, then best course is to be honest with the American people -- give us a super-majority in 2018 and we can fully repeal and replace. Otherwise, enjoy your ObamaCare.
Pass anything like this RyanCare bill, and the unaddressed problems of ObamaCare will continue imploding the system and the Dems recapture the Senate in 2018.
They should repeal and NOT replace. When the usual suspects whine and complain. Blame the democrats for promising a free pony and delivering an overpriced dead mule.
And then let the states deal with it.
BS. Repeal Now!
OR
Replace every lawmaker who won’t.
This is the easiest win the Republicans could ever hope to have handed to them on a silver platter. But they’re so corrupt they can’t do it. Trump has handed Congress a free rocket ship for their approval rating if they just do this one simple thing. But instead of sharing in the meteoric surge of popularity it would bring they instead have to be brought kicking and screaming to the right decision.
The simple repeal was thrown at Obama over and over again. But they won’t do it again when it would be guaranteed to work. What does that say about their integrity or their motives? It’s sick. It’s rotten to the very core.
The swamp is everywhere. And Just because the Republicans have tended to stay on the shallower edges of it, doesn’t make them right. It just makes them MORE OF THE SAME SWAMP.
He has done nothing but cause trouble since he has been speaker. He helped obama at every turn—we now are going to have to deal with the debt ceiling fiasco next month thanks to him, and he has and I believe continues to sabotage President Trump every chance he gets. He reminds me of Eddie Haskell!
What irks me is the Wisconsin Feepers who defended voting for this arrogant elitist turd.
I read right here or FR that Nehlen received 'questionable' donations.. unlike lying Ryan whose both hands are shoulder deep into US taxpayer dollars... Lying Ryan can take Soros dollars and that is just fine with the majority of voters in his district... Lying Ryan has maintained Nancy the 'red' Pewlouse, rules, just like his predecessor Boehner... They work for the US Catholic Bishops funding the illegal invasion with our tax dollars. Crooked to the core.
The supposed strategy of Ryan will take longer than two years to be implemented.
Why not simply dare the Senate dems to filibuster a one-page simple repeal. If they do, the resounding message is that the pain of the next two years is the dems’ baby. With that pain and a generous application of propaganda, the Repubs gain even more seats in 2018 than now is expected.
Repeat the process in 2018.
Since Ryan’s plan leaves America suffering under Obamacare anyway, why not gain political leverage, rather than squandering political advantage?
Of course the answer to my question is that they will not take a truly bold step with a long-term view toward the good of the party and of the American people because they benefit from their corruption and do not want to lose that benefit.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Well call me a pig and roll me in mud.
1. The voters who expected this GOP to repeal this monstrosity.
2. The voters whose health insurance premiums aren't going to be any more affordable under this RyanCare bill than they were before.
The Republican Party is banking on the fact that Group #1 is a relatively small portion of the population, and they're probably right about that. But Group #2 is going to be enormous, and he ignores them at his peril.
