"If I'm given the opportunity to lead the U.S. Senate next year, I won’t let you down"

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday said the path forward for the legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare remains unclear, adding that he is unsure at the moment how such a measure will secure the requisite 50 votes from the GOP’s 52 senators.
"I don't know how we get to 50 (votes) at the moment. But that's the goal,” McConnell (R-Ky.) told Reuters in an interview. He said passing a repeal-and-replace measure, a campaign promise of GOP lawmakers for more than seven years and a key plank of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, remains a top priority.
Work on repeal-and-replace legislation had already begun in the Senate well before the House managed to pass its own bill, dubbed the American Health Care Act. Multiple GOP senators have said that they do not intend to take up the H

OH POOR McTURTLE...tries to get out of his shell but just doesn’t have the spine or balls to do it...ROFLMAO...
WE have the HOUSE; WE have the SENATE; WE have the WHITE HOUSE, so what’s your problem McTurtle??? On the side of the brainless Dems???
GOP Mantra “You can never fail if you don’t try!”
Then step aside and let someone who does know how to get things done do your job.
I wonder if he can get to fifty votes on REPEAL!
May I suggest then, Mitch, that you step aside and we’ll fine somebody who can.
Screw it... bring it to a vote and let those who voted against the Obamacare replacement explain their defense of Obamacare as its death spiral RAPIDLY ACCELERATES and premiums & deductibles soar. The voters will respond to them!
You can always count on Ole “we’re going to pull it out root and branch” McConnell.
Replace RINOs like Mitch. That will do it.
McTurtle should spend the Memorial Day weekend looking for his gonads! If he has any, it would seem they’ve atrophied like his spine and guts.
Anyone with a connection in DC ask McTurtle if he found anything resembling gonads yet! While you’re at it, ask Juan McLame, Paul Two-faced Ryan and Linda Graham if they have anything resembling a pair. Severe shortage of manhood in DC would be my opinion. What’s yours?
Lead Me or Follow Me, but get the hell out of the way !
Hello, ASK for their vote!
Most of the GOP Senators are Democrats in R jerseys.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Gardner, Toomey, Capito, Fischer, Collins, Wicker are all Cheap Labor Express Republicans.
Remove them from office before they give away our country.
Based on that statement alone, he DOES NOT deserve to be Senate Majority Leader, and should resign!
Vote 1: Repeal the individual mandate - pure and simple.
Vote 2: Repeal the employer mandate - pure and simple.
One step at a time.
Grand deals are bad deals.
Keep it simple.
No Republican Senator wants to lose his/her primary over the individual mandate.
Let retail/restaurant people work over 30 hours a week.
Let businesses grow beyond 49 employees.
This guy has to be the most worthless Senate Minority and Majority Leader in modern times.
That’s because you’re incompetent.
You’re forgetting Trent Lott, who wouldn’t hold a full trial for Clinton’s impeachment.
Too bad Gianforte isn’t in charge. /s
