Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday said the path forward for the legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare remains unclear, adding that he is unsure at the moment how such a measure will secure the requisite 50 votes from the GOPs 52 senators.
"I don't know how we get to 50 (votes) at the moment. But that's the goal, McConnell (R-Ky.) told Reuters in an interview.

Give us names....

Maybe you are too buddy buddy with them to get them angry?
Afraid Linda will throw a hissy fit on the Senate Floor and scratch your eyes out?

When I first saw him in that picture, I thought he looked so out of place and uncomfortable he must be holding a snake.
Oh, how I wish they’d all be primaried!!
