You can’t win if you don’t fight.

Put bills on his desk. Make him sign them or veto them.

” The dirty secret is the big multinational corporations and Wall Street Banks like O’care. They want single payer government paid healthcare so they can get out of the healthcare business. Therefore the GOPe does not want to repeal O’care.”

WINNER!

Too bad we’re not just a little closer to the 2/3 we need. Next week the premium increases for ObamaCare policies will be released. Obama forced the insurers to keep a lid on them for a reason; I’m hearing rumors of double-digit increases in almost every state.

If people were pi$$ed off on Tuesday, just wait until this shoe drops next week. I could see getting five or six Dem senators to join an override. But thirteen is way beyond reach. To bad, though.

The GOP doesn’t have a veto-proof majority, but I think with some maneuvering, they might be able to get at least parts of it through with a 51% majority (a tactic set up, IIRC, but Harry Reid!).

That was for presidential appointments only. The Republicans could repeal Obamacare through the reconciliation process by attaching it to a budget bill but they can't push through any replacement by the same method. That would face a filibuster, which the GOP can't override.
