I suggest Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake be the first primaried, they all voted for Rubio’s amnesty and are up in 2018.
The government program that President Trump wants is to get the FEDERAL government out of health care and turn it back to the STATES where it should be...
Yeah right. Cantor was three years ago.
Kiss your ass goodbye. ALL of you will be unemployed.

Ok. If you say so. If the Senate and House actually come up with a bill that just downsizes Obamacare....or even expands it, watch Trump sign it.
Then get back to me.
>>>What we need is a crisis that convinces voters that spending and borrowing by government must be reduced.<<<
At the moment we have too many of our fellow citizens lacking the smarts to vote for change. They consistently vote for people who promise them something for nothing. Just look at all the Bernie dupes. They thought they could have social utopia just by raising taxes on the 1%. Free college and much, much more. A simple exercise in logic tells you that guys like Bernie over promise what they can deliver or underestimate who will be paying the tax bills. We need to look no further than Venezuela to see where that road can take us.
This something for nothing mentality isn’t limited by party. Apparently the moderate republicans want to be like the conservatives in the UK. Over there, the conservatives argue they can run big government programs better. A critical mass to reduce the latest and least popular big government program is not there. And the president isn’t using his bully pulpit for that purpose. Hell he wants to cement the nonsense that makes obamacare expensive. All Trump wants is to trim the edges and make the health care bill less bad imo.
No, they never did.
Had Obama promised to sign a repeal bill, there would not have been 5 votes in the Senate or 50 in the House for it.
Rand Paul wants the problem NOT the solution.
He wants the eternal problem so he can have job security.
(see nuke negotiators during the cold war. They did not want it to end because they could keep negotiations going forever.)
I’ve already put my `conservative’ rep/critter on notice: vote to repeal the `individual mandate’ or I vote to repeal you.
Big Insurance equals Big Bank.. legally. That senate care with 50Billion dollars directly to insurers. Confirms what we already knew.. our entire congress is bought n paid for.
I'm wondering about that. A lot of those folks who avoid insurance are watching their costs and seeking low-cost alternatives. That keeps costs down and creates competition and innovation. Besides that, people who have insurance tend to milk it for every penny they can if they're going to go over their deductible.
If you listen carefully, one of the arguments to keep the system is the jobs that it supports. How many of those jobs are people doing things for people they could be doing themselves? Anecdotally, I don't know anyone who has insurance or more than Medicare Part A who doesn't have a lot of medical appointments and procedures and take a lot of medications.
I have no answers. Just questions.
Good list. Now, if we could just see some monied up primary opponents to take these guys on.
Everone of those senators are cheap labor express and bed setters deeply beholden to Goldman Sachs, in Crooze’s case, others to Wall Street, Chamber of Commerce, defense industry and *Special interests.
Not one will be seen showing up on the side of the people defending Trump. They oppose him, outright. They have not changed, but for election time horn blowing and lies.
Democrats created this Frankenstein where one was not needed and tossed it over the wall with the expectation that they would fix it later with massive taxes or possibly drive us all towards single payer. Now, insurance rates are still climbing and quality of care is suffering.
The insurance companies were drooling at the prospect of millions of Americans being forced to buy their product. I have no sympathy for them.
And in classic entitlement style, it is virtually impossible to remove an entitlement once it is in place.
It is truly a quagmire.
So, what will likely happen is that, if people can afford it, will buy supplemental insurance to cover what the crappy Obamacare insurance won't.
Lastly, the middle class American (who pays the bills) is getting screwed. Our friend is on Obamacare because she is “low income.” What truly sucks is that she has better insurance than we do because we pay and don't get any subsidies and our deductible and coinsurance threshold is massive. She doesn't have to worry about this and go to the most expensive emergency hospitals that are popping up everywhere. Clearly, this does not address the rising cost of insurance and people getting O-care could care less about how much a treatment costs — it is free to them. The rest of us get stuck with the bill.
There is no opposition to the leftist Cabal in DC other than Trump. The freedom caucus and right now Sen Paul are basically it. All we have in congress who give a shit about the Constitution. The “Republicans” are just wearing alternate jerseys. They are all baby piglets suckling off our trough.
FWIW, during the campaign, I had the impression that Trump would not have been all that upset if one of the dwarfs ran a tough enough campaign through the primaries to show he/she was a viable candidate against hillary. The one who I thought could’ve done it is Rand Paul. If he’d stuck to his and dad’s issues.....stop the war-mongering, conservative government, the banking system, I thought his campaign could’ve gained traction. Instead, he went hissy-fit and negative about Trump.
He will sign, but only because the Republican scum like aholeMcConnell or Paul Ryan are sticking it to him.
When you vote look for the ‘R’ - it means REJECT.
We or the Tea Party has to start NOW. Organization is the key. Find men/women in those states that will be part of the Tea Party movement and then rally around ONE person. The so called “Republican Party” will do everything in its power to destroy whoever goes against them and it will take a social media and grass roots battle to get them out like Trump did.
Let Trump know that whomever the new candidates are that they SUPPORT the Trump agenda. We need to start playing like the democrats and vote in block and eliminate all the weak sisters and quislings. They are old corrupt fossils and parasites like McCain and McConnell or any of the other Senators that have homosexual, adulterous or larceny in their FBI files that the democrats are using to blackmail them with
> The whole thing collapses if you don’t force people to buy insurance or have a massive tax
That “thing” is called communism.
These politicians can take the government program and shove it.
