Referring to behind-the-scenes work among Senate Republicans on a healthcare bill, [U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell said, "I don't know how we get to 50 (votes) at the moment."

When I die I want the GOP to be my Pallbearers so they can let me down one last time.
GOP Mantra: “You can never fail if you don’t try!”
You can’t rush a turtle. That’s why the spineless amoeba in the Senate keep voting him in as Leader.
Turtle Face better see the handwriting on the next election’s walls. The Deplorables won’t except their excuses.
I suggest the Senate and House find their gonads like yesterday, ya think? Perhaps Mad Dog Mattis can tell them where to look for their Nads? Then again, they may have been born without a spine and a pair!
Hilariously true!
Hadn’t heard that one before ;n)
“When I die I want the GOP to be my Pallbearers so they can let e down one last time.”
How is it we got rid of Beohner, but we can’t get rid of McConnell?
Maybe THIS is why the Dems are forecasting a “wave election” in 2018. Disgusted Republican voters are getting ready to pull the flush handle.

It’s hard to say that the alternative would be so much worse. Before the last election, I figured the best possible aftermath would be the total annihilation of the Party of Lincoln and the formation of something people actually could support. The Trump victory briefly made me rethink that. Now I’m going back to my original hope. Crush them!
We knew all along that they would fight him tooth and nail. Trillions are at stake, and the leadership are all compromised and will do the bidding of those trillions. Those who can be convinced by craven interest or who are not compromised need to take charge of the caucus and understand that it is Trump's way or it is the end of America and the GOP. Maybe they will get it. Maybe they won't.
That would be Trump’s leverage that he can use to get his program from lilly-livered Republicans, that he will run a pro-Trump Republican in many key districts, and fund them. They will respond to losing their seats. They have been playing the game of us having no alternative to them for too long.
In about 24 months from now they won’t have any trouble getting to 51 votes on single payer.
There are not 50 votes to pass this bill.
I bet there aren’t 35.
They don’t want to replace Obamacare. They just want their conservative voters to think they want to replace it - so they continue to put on a show like they have for 7 years.
Wanns know why Mitch? It's because we have a p*ssy leading the Senate.
Let’s start with, The Affordable Care Act a/k/a 0bamacare is hereby repealed.
That wasn’t difficult was it?

Is there any downside to the Senate putting a Healthcare Bill to a vote so we citizens can see who votes WITH the Democrats BEFORE the 2018 Primaries?
Such a vote could lead to strong funding for primary challengers to those RINOs and to some NEW patriotic Senators.
And such an “acid test” vote might also persuade some RINOs that it would be in their interest to vote WITH the people.
For a change...
