"Lee also said that the parliamentarian told him it wasn't until very recently, after the unveiling of the House bill, that any Republican even asked her about the possibility of repealing regulations with a simple majority."

Nobody bothered to ask! Not McConnell, not Ryan, nobody...because they didn't want to!

Was Lee a Cruz supporter?

Just asking. Could be wrong, but I think so.

If the House Republicans can’t push harder than this, they should resign.

I sesnse that employer lobbies and the donor class quietly are making it clear they want government healthcare to stay.

We have about 24 hours to go and people are starting to blink. Looks like Ryan and company maybe blinking first.

Dr. Lee Cruz did not win the primary, he was not elected President, nor were you.

There’s the solution. Pass the bill in the House and amend in the Senate.

It’s amazing what a little brainstorming can accomplish, with Trump’s help.

This was always a big, fake issue and a lie anyway.

As has been pointed out by others (e.g., Larry Kudlow and Ted Cruz) a case could be made that anything about Obamacare repeal impacts the budget and so can be included. But the GOP could simply replace this Democrat parliamentarian with a more amenable GOP one—as they should have by now anyway—or have Pence come in and overrule her from his seat as well.

The reconciliation excuse has been big lie used by Ryan and Trump to falsely claim that a better bill couldn’t be passed.

I hate Paul Ryan. I hate the establishment. I wish we could wipe them clean out of politics.
