Health care state of play: What happens next
CNN ^ | July 28, 2017 | Phil Mattingly

Posted on 07/28/2017 10:29:28 AM PDT by Innovative

By now, the events related to Republicans' plans for health care early Friday morning have reverberated across Washington. Three GOP senators voted down a so-called "skinny repeal" plan, a devastating blow to President Donald Trump and Republican leadership.

House Republicans met Friday morning. The closed-door conference was planned to be a discussion where House Speaker Paul Ryan laid out the conference committee structure/next steps.

In fact, GOP aides say they were planning to vote to go to conference, appoint conferees and motions to instruct Friday before they left town. That obviously isn't applicable anymore.

Sorry but that is not part of their plan.

Knowing full well that the Congress will never get rid of the ‘gravey train’ Obama Care, they are now on the voting rolls of what they ran on and what they voted on, which is different...

President Trump wanted all Americans to see where these people actually stood, remember some RINO’s said if re elected they would vote down Obama Care, they didn’t, and this is the proof...

Some are up for re election in 2018, some are up for re election in 2020, remember what they have done, and vote them out of office...

ANYONE that betrays Our Nation in any way should never be allowed to represent our Great Nation in any manner whatsoever!!!

President Trump needs to issue an EO putting the Senate and House on ObamaCare immediately.

Let the sewer dwellers deal with the same crap the American people do.

And, while We The People are taking note of their names and finding conservative candidates to oppose them; God-willing, someone will dig the traitors’ dirt and follow the money trails.

Gitmo needs some inhabitants, ya think?

Act 1 - The House
Act 2 - The Senate
Act 3 - McConnell says “move on”

Intermission - “Recess”

Final Act - Republican Party destroyed at voting booth

The Republicans will throw their house and senate majorities to stop Trump’s agenda. It proves the uniparty exists beyond a shadow of a doubt. I fear we’ve seen where voting gets us.

Call President Trump’s hotline and email him and use Twitter.

Let’s Roll!

Everyone can go to WhiteHouse.Gov and there you will find you can directly send a message to Our President...

I urge everyone to do so...

On the NDAA, would it have been better if Paul had not pulled the rug from under McCain’s feet? Just wondering...

The Awan scandal is about to launch. We will then find out who all, if not all of them, are on the blackmail list along with what they were compromised with.

No it isn't. The MSM isn't touching it.

McConnell canceled two weeks of August Recess so they could work on repealing ACA. Now he tells us "move on".

In 2013 McConnell says “repeal root and branch”, in 2017 he says “move on”

McConnell is a rat. A gigantic sewer rat.

He needs to go farther and say that they are included in all laws they enact. Put all government employees - Congress/President included - into Social Security. No exemptions of any type for government employees.

That may get their attention.

I suspect their “friends in high places” have already promised them cushy jobs if that happens. IMO, they have already been bought off to vote against President Trump...in all matters that count.

They are paid off.... political hacks.

We need to galvanize and organize to vote these traitorous vultures out of office.

Those up in 2018 need to be named and shamed, daily.

Tell the RNC to take a hike, with every donation request they send. Even the ones that require a stamp.

TELL THEM TRUMP VOTERS ARE COMING AND BRINGING ALL HECK WITH US against ANY traitor who voted to keep 0CommieCare.

“...go to WhiteHouse.Gov...”

I just did - thanks for the suggestion - I begged the President to issue an executive order that all of Congress must enroll in Obamacare STAT.

“President Trump needs to issue an EO putting the Senate and House on ObamaCare immediately.”

All fedgov workers and retirees as well.

Needs to be done yesterday.

Its no longer up to them. Trump is on it tweeting about it yesterday. This one is just too big for the media to cover it up now.

Get Laser Dot Mooch on it, the press will be salivating.
