Rush, It’s NOT complicated.
Trump MADE A DEAL, just like the conservatives said he would.
Trump has NEVER been a conservative, and never will be.
Conservatives should call Trump’s bluff.
Repeal that damn bill !

[Enterprise]

Bump for my half of the population.

[chris37]

Your problem is that you don’t trust Trump, and there is no reason not to trust him. He’s not dishonest.

[Captainpaintball]

Hey Cate Blanchett...

That's not your moral compass. It's some guy's wristwatch!!!

Check for a class ring or two while you're at it!

He lost me on integrity when he said Ted Cruz’s dad was in on the Kennedy assignation. I’m no Cruz fan. Matter of fact despise him. But that was a silly and cold accusation.

[chris37]

Well, he actually didn’t say that Cruz’s dad was in on the assassination of Kennedy.

He asked what was Cruz’s dad doing with Oswald prior to Kennedy being shot.

As far as I know, Cruz’s dad was a communist, and yeah that looks like him in the photo with Oswald, soo....

From your link:

" ... Republicans can repeal a substantial portion of Obamacare with a simple majority through the budget reconciliation process, but this process only allows Republicans to repeal those portions with a budgetary impact.

Repealing just items with a budgetary impact leaves in place the insurance regulations that are presently driving up health care costs and spinning many state insurance markets into death spirals.
Specifically, the reconciliation process can’t repeal Obamacare’s essential health benefit requirements that force people to buy very generous and, therefore, very expensive health plans. ... "

To that, I add information Conservatives to introduce their own ObamaCare plan:

' Conservative lawmakers said Tuesday they will introduce their own ObamaCare repeal plan, objecting to House GOP leadership's proposal.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said they will introduce a clean bill to repeal ObamaCare, as Congress did in 2015.

The conservatives argue that they should vote on repeal as a separate measure from replacement, and then debate how to replace ObamaCare.

They object to several aspects of Republican leadership's plan, including a refundable tax credit to help people buy insurance that they dub a "new entitlement."

"We voted on this last year, and every Republican voted for it," Paul said at a press conference alongside his House conservative colleagues. "That’s what we should do again."

"You have to get rid of ObamaCare completely," Jordan added. ... '

But will this require 60 votes in the Senate? If so, it’s useless.

[LonePalm]

Damn Doug. You owe me a new keyboard.

[Yosemitest]

It's the Senate's own rules and they can change them any time they want.
Since the DemocRATS went to a simple majority to pass the Obama "Tax'em till they're broke" Healthcare SCAM, why shouldn't the Republicans go to a simple majority vote also ?

[luvie]

Amen to that!

[Ingtar]

The original Obamacare went in through reconciliation to avoid the 60 vote requirement. The repeal should use the same method.

[Political Junkie Too]

Is the issue that this is not just a repeal, but a repeal AND replace in one bill, so the replace parts cannot go through reconciliation?

They don't want to just repeal and restore what the original Obamacare repealed, and then follow it up with a separate bill for the replace parts?

EXCLUSIVE: FBI ‘Granted FISA Warrant’ Covering Trump Camp’s Ties To Russia
By Louise Mensch, 10:18 pm, November 7, 2016

Two separate sources with links to the counter-intelligence community have confirmed to Heat Street that the FBI sought, and was granted, a FISA court warrant in October, giving counter-intelligence permission to examine the activities of ‘U.S. persons’ in Donald Trump’s campaign with ties to Russia.

Contrary to earlier reporting in the New York Times, which cited FBI sources as saying that the agency did not believe that the private server in Donald Trump’s Trump Tower which was connected to a Russian bank had any nefarious purpose, the FBI’s counter-intelligence arm, sources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request around possible financial and banking offenses related to the server.
The first request, which, sources say, named Trump, was denied back in June, but the second was drawn more narrowly and was granted in October after evidence was presented of a server, possibly related to the Trump campaign, and its alleged links to two banks; SVB Bank and Russia’s Alfa Bank. While the Times story speaks of metadata, sources suggest that a FISA warrant was granted to look at the full content of emails and other related documents that may concern US persons.

According to Secretary Price, MD, this is the first phase. He always had a plan; that is why President Trump chose him for this position.

Congressman David Schweikert, a member of the Freedom Caucus, is on board with this.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

The issue is WE will never see the phases 2&3 we ALWAYS get the BIG government part FIRST and then we never see the part that keeps costs down!! Just like Regan with amnesty DO WE HAVE A WALL........NO!!! The next shoe to drop on Trump will be LYIN RYAN telling him gee your tax cuts are just TO EXPENSIVE because the HC bill just costs to much money and we don’t have the votes!!! RYAN is NOT a friend of Trump NEVER has been!!! This goes in the toilet it is wrapped around Trumps neck, Ryan would like NOTHING MORE than this failure being wrapped around Trumps neck!!!!
