I wonder if they’ll have the cojones to run, yet again, on repealing Obamacare in the midterms.

It’s the RINO / Arlen Specter strategy. Vote conservative when it doesn’t matter so you look conservative, then vote with the left when it’s critical.

“Lets get the word out to our representatives”

Do we really have such people? Seems we go through the motions of acting as if we do every couple of years, and the people we elect join the royals, adopt socialism, attend Democrat butt-kissing classes, and stab us all in the back. All the while claiming, no matter if they have the majority of not, and even the White House, that our wishes are simply too complex and the Democratic agenda will have to prevail.

Our votes seem to be part of the bread and circuses program to keep us thinking our opinions matter.

here’s what i think:

The enemedia and RINO NeverTrump articles about this so-called “failure” are all delusional, and the best part is that they actually believe their own delusions.

I heard President Trump say a few weeks ago that his administration wouldn’t be addressing obamacare repeal and replace until late 2017 to early 2018 (basically when obamacare would be facing complete collapse), so I can’t wait to watch these fools freak the F out when his administration introduces a REAL repeal and replace bill 9 months from now.

As far as President Trump was concerned, RyanCare was nothing but a red herring intended to take Paul Ryan out of all future equations about everything.

RyanCare was a real abortion of a bill, written by the insurance companies who were the only ones who were going to benefit from its passage. The insurance companies clearly had this bill already in hand, and I feel certain had cut a deal with Paul Ryan BEFORE the election, fully expecting HILLARY CLINTON to be President, but believing that some Pub House votes would be needed to get the bill through the House.

RyanCare was actually SUPPOSED to have been HillaryCare, which was why the original RyanCare bill preserved 99.9% of obamacare, and it supposed to have been Hillary’s gift to the insurance companies, while simultaneously shafting Trump’s voters, who are the people who would have suffered the worse under HillaryCare/RyanCare, with even higher premiums than we pay now.

Ryan went ahead with HillaryCare anyway, thinking he could bulldoze the House into screwing their own constituencies even worse than happened with obamacare. If this had passed, Ryan also knew that it would totally sink Trump’s ship before four years was out, which was another major goal of Ryan’s, namely, to try to destroy President Trump before 2020.

The Conservative Caucus saved Trump’s bacon whether he knows it or not.

It WASN’T successful!! They know Obama would veto it - it was a dog and pony show. That’s exactly what it is now too because it won’t get the support necessary to pass.

It was not a full repeal.

It was a reconciliation bill that repealed certain portions of certain paragraphs and subitems; a ‘partial’ repeal that could easily be reversed by a future democrat Congress needing no filibuster to resuscitate it.

A full repeal is about a page long. It is simply a law to take down another law. A full repeal renders the law it repeals so that it no longer exists on the books as a law.

A partial repeal leaves the original law in place even if certain portions of it are ‘repealed’ or more accurately, made ‘inactive’.

The 2015 reconciliation bill was touted as a ‘repeal’ but that was just Ryan pulling a gimmick so he could say he tried to ‘repeal’ it.

Why didn’t they have this “successful” bill on Trump’s desk day 1?

Hint, it’s a farce.

I’ll bet anyone here $20 that it will never see Trump’s desk.

Our plan has always been repeal in one piece of legislation and replace in the other.

If the second part of this plan is predictive of action in the Congress then the result will be as bad as would have transpired did the late R&R bill actually pass and become law.

Repeal it. FULL STOP.

Then repeal more federal interventions until the government gets out of Medicine and Insurance altogether and is back in compliance with the Constitution in those matters.

If nothing else, get all the Democrats in the House and Senate on record voting against the 2015 Repeal bill, and then cite that at every turm as Obamacare collapses.

Trump and the Democrats know how to fight with political spin that changes public opinion. The gutless GOP elite establishment is Clueless. Pau Ryno is like a condom for a Eunuch — beyond useless.

It wasn’t successful. It existed for the sole purpose of being vetoed so they could pretend they were trying. Once it would no longer be vetoed they weren’t going to put straight repeal on the table. They don’t want the bad press of “taking away” a couple million people’s insurance.

Rep. Jordan, a member of the much derided House Freedom Caucus, reiterated the familiar words of many Republican candidates across the country just before introducing H.R. 1436: ...... Our plan has always been repeal in one piece of legislation and replace in the other. That’s right.

You. have. got. to. be. kidding. me.

Repeal. Repeal and Replace. No, Repeal. NO, Repeal and Replace! nO, Repeal! No, Repeal and Replace !

Make. up. your. freaking. minds, gentlemen!!
