If you are supporting reconciliation which is what Ryan and Cruz are working with, then you are in their camp, not the REPEAL camp.

Get pissy all you want, it won’t separate you from being on the side of the purveyors of reconciliation.

Ryan in a rare unexpected miraculous fantasy moment of a temporary burst in IQ state, could assemble a bill to repeal Obamacare. And he would get the votes.

And then it would be sent over to the Senate where McConnell could not get it to the floor because of a filibuster. At that point, McConnell has few options:

1. He can go nuclear which would basically incinerate the Senate’s 60-vote rule thereby turning the American political system from a republic into a mob-based democracy,

2. Let wrecking ball Cruz crunch Obamacare using reconciliation measures deemed by parliamentary tricks, but nevertheless is NOT REPEAL,

3. Put the repeal bill on the backburner and let the President play hardball with criminal democrats and bring them to the 60-vote table.

I am for #3. It means the battle is more extensive and longer term, but will be final. The other two choices are harmful to the republic.

So you are for letting Obamacare stand as is until some undefined time in the future after Trump has applied some fairie dust to make magical things happen?

I’m against the Ryan Care bill ....PERIOD. You know...the bill that Ryan wants to be passed AS IS without amendment.
