Rep. Marsha Blackburn said Monday that the Senate needs to “show some spine” and help fix the heath insurance problem. “President Trump, I believe, is looking to solve the problem. The problem is we’ve got the Senate who cannot seem to — you know they like to work in gangs. We’ve had the gang of seven or eight. I want the gang of 51. I want the Senate to show spine and fix this problem,” Ms. Blackburn, Tennessee Republican, said on CNN. Mr. Trumptweeted over the weekend to slam the “bailouts” for members of Congress buying insurance on the Obamacare exchanges. All members are required to buy insurance through the federal program.

The GOP Senate has as much spine as a jellyfish. Let us help President Trump elect real Republican Senators in 2018.
Actually, The Republican senate has a spine. It was only three individuals that held up the passage.
Two were women. Who paid them? How much do they need to vote right thew next time?
McCain is a vindictive ass hole. There is nothing to make him act differently.
The House was almost as spineless. They am within a hair of not getting something to the Senate.
The problem is Mitch McConnell.

Sorry, the Republican party owns it all. Everybody from Collins to Cruz. The GOP has all 3 branches and now endorses keeping obamacare.
Sen. Collins got an ovation upon her arrival at the airport in Maine. The people want Obamacare. Let them have it.
The BIG C may have some thoughts on that.
Yea,Right!! We need a National Health Service.
SERVICE . . . . !!
I became confused when I heard the word “Service” used with these agencies . . . . :
Internal Revenue ‘Service’
U. S. Postal ‘Service’
Telephone ‘Service’
Cable / TV ‘Service’
Civil ‘Service’
Customer ‘Service’
City, County & State Public ‘Service’
These are not what I thought ‘Service’ meant . . . . !!
But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to ‘Service’ a few of his cows . . . . !!
BAM . . . . !! Then it all came into focus . . . . !!
Now I understand what all those agencies are doing . . . . !!
I hope that you are now just as enlightened as I am . . . . !!
Should be no surprise here on Obamacare. The beltway GOP has been awful for decades and the Senate is the bottom of that barrel.
Spine? They all have become a uniparty.
Let Collins have Obamacare too. Do it President Trump.
Great idea, if the individual States foot the bill for their own citizens. But that ain’t gonna happen.
Interesting. TN Conservative Republican CM (congress member) Blackburn’s comments were made at CNN. Picked up by Wash Times.
“Actually, The Republican senate has a spine. It was only three individuals that held up the passage.”
All kabuki theater.
Members were allowed to vote yes to give them cover. McCain - safe seat- voted no. They knew it wouldn’t pass, but got to appear to support repeal.
Its not that they lack a spine.....am tired of hearing that....they are complicit.
Hogwash!
If it had not been these three, in two or four years hence it would have been three others who were just re-elected.
Make Marsha speaker.
Yes!
Blackburn would only be 1000x better than McConnell.
But enough understatements for one day.
Not only that but the ones who voted yes on the skinny bill were promised that it would not become law in that form, that conference with the House would change it.
House members were made a similar promise.
