There is no repeal on the table to vote against.
They don’t even want to vote for the rearrange and repair bill.

"The process of removing a 2,300-page law with 20,000 pages of rules can't be done in one vote"

It was rammed up our butt with one vote, so why not, pray tell?

They have taken their lead from Trump himself. He used that term "repealand Replace" right from the beginning. He is a businessman. He gets good deals. He is more and more resembling a financial expert rather than an economist. There is a difference, a very important difference. Most professional economists are, in fact, financial experts, skilled in moving money and making the movement efficient with no consideration that the methods might be harmful to the rest of the population and damaging to the economy. They are very efficient but wear blinders to keep their focus narrow.Goldman Sachs people are the best at it but they are NOT economists.

The problem is not one “caucus.” It is the whole Party. How many dissenters were there in the election of Paul Ryan as Speaker? One, I think.

The Republicans don't want to repeal obamacare. The Democrats are principled leftist totalitarians which condition is indistinguishable in most respects from being just plain Corrupt. The Republicans are just plain Corrupt. They have no principle involved beyond their wealth prospects.

So if I take you correctly, retroactively making it a capital crime to have voted for Ebolacare and turning their houses into public toilets is a bridge too far on the first vote?

It took 7 years to install it. Shouldn’t take that long to repeal.

maybe he could, and if it is Ryan and Trump that refuse to play the card then Steve’s next move is to leak it out to the press so we can go after theses RINO’s as the real problem.

“The problem is not one “caucus.” It is the whole Party. How many dissenters were there in the election of Paul Ryan as Speaker? One, I think.”

I think your over simplifying one particular vote for one particular man. Do you support everything the man you elected does? No or you wouldn’t be here complaining about them.

In the same respect Paul Ryan almost certainly represents the compromise canadit among the republicans in the house.

If he fails to expose the Tuesday Group’s RINO traitors and instead allows them to take down the party with their own backstabbing tretury then i suspect a great many of his supporters will drop out. Indeed i suspect he has already lost a great many supporters for allowing it to go this far.

That may be the case, but I strongly suspect Trump would sign almost anything he thought better than nothing, including a straight repeal.

Trump is a deal maker he doesn’t seem to care about unimportant details. He understands the power of his position in the process and intends to play it only to the point it is beneficial.

I am saying there was no dissent. They all knew what he is. They all approved enough to make him their honcho. It is not just one aberration in a long list of deeds. It is the basis for all those deeds and they are almost all oriented to not offending the Democrats whom Republicans consider to be the natural Rulers of the nation and to not jeopardizing their outside income and future employment.

Paul Ryan is NOT a compromise. He is purely the globalist Democrat and Chamber o Commerce candidate. There is no compromise in him. What compromise there is is of the same character as the compromises Trump can get working with other Democrats.

Judge Jeanine had Jerry Falwell on last night. Great interview. Sounds like Evangelicals might become activists in thwarting these RINO turds in reelection efforts for 2018. Sounds like a good plan.

Those signing up for Obamacare get subsidies to pay premiums, 84% of them! So it must be repealed.

I don’t think that is fair, Ryan had a good budget several years ago, and he did repeal Obamacare back in 2015. We just got 25 to 50 RINO’s trying to bring down the whole party.
