Totally agree! Burn ‘Bamacare to the ground. More political pressure is needed by We the People.
A lot of GOPe incumbent heads will roll if 2018 they can’t kill the thing.
Repeal, then replace at some future date — maybe never.
The person most responsible is the one Paul never mentions.
The Senior Senator from Paul’s home state of KY.
Paul is a fraud. He blames everyone else except his fellow senator
from Ky. The Turtle.
If they fail to pass this I WILL remove my name from the GOP roles and they will never get another penny from me.
Time for a new political party that actually cares about liberty, the constitution and the people for which it stands and not their own personal power control.
Herd of R.I.N.O.
hopefully this gets buried before it comes to a vote. If it passes the senate, Trump would be faced with a very public embarrassment of having to abandon his campaign pledge or veto his party’s bill. however, if the description is correct then it’s difficult to imagine the bill surviving a joint senate-house conference, at least in the form described. maybe it is intended as simply an intermediate step to a full repeal version at the conference stage? Really, if “let Obamacare die a natural death” is the path of least resistance, then whatever the senate does becomes kabuki put on for the exclusive benefit of the insurance lobbyists. So, at least in this case, what goes on in DC (ugh) hopefully stays in DC...
Give ‘em Hell, Rand!!
I will also tweet my support to you.
TWB
Good point, how bad can Chuck Schumer be as Senate majority leader?
He says he wants to work with Republicans on ‘fixing’ Obama-care.
Don't be so sure that Trump would veto such a bill.
President Trump wants healthcare OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT and back to the people the way it used to be
I’m glad you believe that.
Remember, all those up for 2018 should be asked: Are you going to support President Trump's agenda IF you reelected? and then comment to them: If you say yes and you don't we will by State Law kick your butt out of office...
Second question: Did you know that there wasn't a ‘health care’ bill in the covers in case Trump did win? Watch them twist themselves into a pretzel and there you have your answer...
These idiots that are taking our money don't think we little peons have a right to question them, well wrong, we do and should...that's why they don't like ‘town halls’ anymore, tomatoes, yelled off stage, unless your like Mad Maxine and HIRE guards to keep Trump Supporters OUT of her townhall...but they got her outside instead...
The Senate will either give up their summer vacation or pass Trumpcare (AKA Obamacare-Lite.)
Odds:
Pass Trumpcare 99.9%
Give up summer vacation .1%
...and you don’t???... why are you supporting him, or do you ??? ...
True, most of them are very safe. They certainly dont fear us...
O care is staying, I dont see any way around that unless something REALLY big happens.
Please tell me how that works. Who exactly will “face wrath?”
The GOP House did pass a (sort of) repeal and replace. Do you think the Congressmen will pay? Who, specifically?
As for the senators, here are your Republicans up for reelection in 2018:
AZ: Jeff Flake
NE: Deb Fischer
WY: John Barrasso
TX: Ted Cruz
NV: Dean Heller
UT: Orrin Hatch
MS: Roger Wicker
TN: Bob Corker
Ok, which ones of those will you primary? Cruz has fought for a free market bill, so he’s out.
Flake? He and Heller are probably the weakest. In 2016 McTurd had a challenge from Trumper Kelli Ward. He won by 11% (meaning Ward did better than the D against McTurd). Still, 11% is a big gap. Can Ward beat Flake? It will definitely be easier, but still he is the incumbent with a ton of money, the McTurd and state machine behind him. I’d say 50/50 that he can be removed as of today.
Heller: He has distanced himself from Trump trying to “triangulate.” I’m no expert on NV politics, so I can’t say where he is right now, but once again, an incumbent.
Barrasso: Probably one of the more “conservative” senators who might be vulnerable to charges of backstabbing in a conservative state. So, who’se your candidate?
Corker: He’s probably close to Heller in terms of vulnerability-—but it gets back to, “Who’se your candidate?”
Wicker: Has remained hidden in the shadows. Makes it tough to primary him.
Hatch: Rumored to be retiring, with Minion Romney or Egg McMuffin likely to run for his spot. Do you think that helps us in any way?
I know nothing about NE and Fischer.
Josh Mandel will beat Sherrod Brown, so conceivably there is one “conservative” repeal pickup there.
We are much more likely to see conservative Rs defeat Casey, Baldwin, Heitkamp, and McKaskill. However, as of now, no specific candidates on the horizon, Joe Piscopo pulled out of the race against Menendez.
Not to throw ice water on your “facing wrath,” but I don’t see it. At the very best, we pick up six or possibly seven new faces of whom SOME will be more pro-repeal than others. At worst, all of the incumbents come back with no change.
...Repeal or face voters rath in the mid-terms....
How many election cycles have we said that? And yet they still refuse. And they still do nothing but promise to do so if elected or reelected.
Ahem, a correction is in order, if you don't mind. The GOP IS the yapping dog auxiliary to the Democrat party..........
No I don’t believe it. He wants a government program too. Just not as onerous as Obamacare. What do you think repeal and replace (which he keeps stating) is about? And no, I am not a cult follower. I’ll criticize every single Democrat or Republican that I think is out of bounds. Just because the Democrats instituted a new welfare program in Obamacare and made health insurance, yes insurance not healthcare, a right doesn’t mean the Republicans need to move left on it too.
Of course this is all just my opinion, which I’m as entitled to as you are to yours.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Gardner, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse are all Democrats in R jerseys.
They will never vote to reduce Fedzilla’s power.
My thoughts exactly.
Rand is a follower. Not a leader. I think he’s sitting on the bench complaining.
