Sen. Rand Paul praised House conservatives for blocking the Obamacare repeal bill Thursday, but said the White House could easily break the impasse if it would agree to send Vice President Mike Pence up to preside over the eventual Senate debate. Mr. Paul said that would give Republicans a chance to head off the parliamentarian and reinterpret the budget process rules that have tied GOP leaders’ hands in what kind of bill they’re able to bring to the floor while avoiding a Democratic filibuster. “That alone I think would break the logjam and get things going,” Mr. Paul, Kentucky Republican, told reporters. Having the presiding officer reject the parliamentarian’s recommendations for interpreting budget rules would be an aggressive maneuver that would break decades of Senate precedent, though it has happened in the past.

Yeah he’s cheering.
Happy as hell that he and the rest of the Senate didn’t get this load of crap dumped in their laps.
I stand with Rand!
So, Rand, when are you dropping your bill into the hopper?
The promise was a beautiful health care system that would have lower premiums, better coverage and would be so much better than obamycare.
Fox is globalist trash.
I’m right there with you on this one.
Way to go Paul. Thank you.
Good catch.
There was a New York Slimes article today that used the same phrase - repeal - when the goal here has been replace.
Fake News. So much Fake News everywhere!
Instead of repealing Obamacare, Ryan wanted to reconfigure it.
There is a presumption that the leftist media is lying. We should not believe the lying leftist media on its face. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Instead of posting the steady stream of endless leftist media’s published lies, we on FR should find and post reliable sources that have already deconstructed the lie (or confirmed what is true) and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth.
Use Rule 19. It gets around any filibuster.
Great, now end ALL obamacare exemptions so everyone can enjoy and benefit of obamacare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, that was the promise. But the reality was...
“If you like your ObamaCare, you can keep your ObamaCare.”
LOL
clean repeal FIRST.
Then once Obamacare is dead and gone... liberals will HAVE to step forward and negotiate a replacement.
The GOP schlonged themselves. The GOP now has full charge. Obamacare is the law of the country. If it flops, now GOP will hang.
Why don’t you post a list of the accepted media that should be the only ones used for threads?
Just most of the time.
You can lie to some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't lie to all of the people all of the time.
Not that the lamestream media won't try.

Yep...
“Repeal every word of Obamacare.”
