Agree... part 2 and part 3 were not going to be done.

As Ted Cruz said.

So why don’t you also post a list of acceptable media that should only be used to post threads under your belief system

Fox is already saying Trump probably won’t be able to get tax reform done either since it needs 60 in senate.

Trump the deal maker will include some provisions Dhimmicraps like -- maybe he can reinstate 0bama's temporary cut in the payroll tax, with a lifting (or at least raising) of the cap.

IF part 2 and part 3 were genuine, they should have already had the bills in committee for part 3. Part 2 is administrative. That could already be done. It doesn’t need to be part 2. This was going no where.

So, Rand, when are you dropping your bill into the hopper?


I’m pretty sure legislation such as this has to originate in the House. Paul is a senator and has offered good ideas on this.

As the saying goes, back to the drawing board. So create an alternative that improves our heath system without all the flaws in Obamacare.

Maybe he can get his friend Justin Amash to co-sponsor.

I think Pelosi and Schumer would NEVER move to help Trump right now. They’re going to watch it crash and burn and enjoy every minute.

We need to repeal Medicare Part D as well, as it’s part of the same problem, so let’s take this opportunity to add that to the “to-do” list.

Don’t need them. With a few provisions to reach out across the aisle, you might pull in moderate Democrats like Manchin and Heitkamp, both of whom, I believe, are up for re-election.

Ted Cruz has been talking about this tactic for weeks. He even briefed the President about it. Glad to see Rand Paul give the idea some attention.

... 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 ..."

Presiding over the Senate is the only task assigned to the
VP by the Constitution. It is a Constitutional DUTY of the VP to be there in the Senate when needed to keep that
chamber under control and assure that the Senate at least
follows it's own rules. The VP doesn't need the President's
permission to preside over the Senate and do the job
the Constitution REQUIRES him to do.

Instead of going through all the land mines the left set for taking back their agenda, maybe we should just focus on whether 0bama was truly a citizen of this country.

I seriously doubt he is and is one of the biggest lies ever imposed on this nation. Exposing the truth would kill everything he signed in the prior eight years and we can go forward in fixing our government.

Watching Kevin Brady interview. He is a loser. Texas should be ashamed of him.
