Then why did the FC vote for him? I’m dying to know the answer.

so, would the Jim Jordon Bill have passed ?
( It was almost a clone of the Price bill that Obama vetoed )
Will the House allow another bite of the apple soon ?

Thirty-something votes won’t elect anyone.

Sounds pretty tunnelvisioned to me. Trump doesn’t lose these things. Why on earth would you want to merely rename Obamacare to be Trumpcare? Is your problem with obamacare that the Democrats passed it instead of the Republicans?

Well, they do fund conservatives. I thought that article said over his career.

He took office in 1999, so that 130K is over 18 yrs? That would be 9 election campaigns. 130/9 = 14K/campaign.

No matter, they have said they want to oppose Trump’s populist agenda. The conversation is about anti trumpism.

And they did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is exactly what Ryan’s bill was designed to do.

Convoluted attempts at reasoning, like those contained in this worthless screed, could only have been created through a haze of illegal drugs and/or hallucinogenics.

"Okay, you are satisfied with Obamacare and Planned Parenthood funding; lots Democrats are happy too, especially that President Trump was defeated and publicly humiliated by conservatives in his own party."

You seem to be pretty disgusted that this monster that would have put Trump's name on obamacare was defeated. You want Trump to be saddled with this tinkertoy socialism? He didn't want this thing to pass. He will get the one he wants but he has to let stuff collapse and fail first.

All America is the loser today. The whole of Obamacare should have been dumped and a new system put in place—It would have been painful—but, like pulling off the bandage quickly—its over fast.>>> a new federal system? really? A new federal system of insurance or healthcare. i don’t want the feds doing insurance which is an individual right to contract for services.

Get a clue. It’s not over. And it wasn’t going to be a great thing. It was obamacare lite that was just kicking the can down the road.

I want some of what this guy is smoking. Car from being villains, conservative Republicans are the ones that saved us from disaster. This bill would have passed in the Senate huh?
Not according to RAND PAUl or Ted Cruz, and so far they have been right in this matter. When Paul Ryan was out there boasting that his bill was going to pass, Rand Paul flatly stated that this bill did not have the votes to pass. He was right.

Did Rino’s voted no today or did the conservatives vote no?

What 'vote' are you referring to? This 'bill' got pulled before the GOPee embarrassed itself beyond repair. Put up a repeal bill, let US see how it turns out.

  1. That is because your view is a tunnel.
  2. Trump lost, big league.
  3. Fantasy on your part
  4. Your way has preserved Obamacare; it is likely the name will be enshrined historically because now it will not be repealed and replaced. Instead it will be fixed. Democrats will either do that in the majority, or as part of a Grand Bargain with a smaller Republican rump party.

You think any of that matters? You really don’t get politics at all...the problem with sites like this or comparable ones on the left is that really think that micro matters in the macro.. it rarely does.

If you think the majority of voters give a rats ass about the wonk reasons, you are deluding yourself. If your position is you have to explain why you didn’t accomplish the one thing you have promised to do for 7 years and the only reason it wasn’t down was you didn’t have enough control and now when you have complete control you didn’t do it.. you lost period.

The freedom caucus et al grossly overplayed their hand...just like Obama and the Dems did when they passed the thing to begin with.

It will come back to bite them, either through a bill coming along Dems are willing to vote for and they are locked out or through anger at this not happening and voter turnout depressed in protest. Either way they lose.

Very stupid. Ideological purity would have gotten us a Hillary Presidency..

Technically you are 100% correct, but I was referring to the vote count the speaker came up with. If I understand the news correctly, most POTENTIAL NO votes were from conservatives in House of Reps.
