Gateway Pundit ^ | August 11,2017 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/11/2017 1:39:03 PM PDT by Hojczyk

The Republican-led Senator lied to the American people. They promised to repeal the failed Obamacare law for seven-and-a-half years. They ran their campaigns on repealing Obamacare. But they all lied.

And then Mitch McConnell had the gall to blame President Trump for expecting too much from the senate!

.Sens. tweeting support of McConnell: ▪️Cornyn ▪️Corker ▪️Tillis ▪️Isakson ▪️Collins ▪️Hatch ▪️Gardner ▪️Heller ▪️Flake ▪️Young ▪️Capito.

WE have a chance with Heller and Flake. I think the other two are entrenched.

I've came to the same conclusion that Heller and Flake are the most vulnerable.

We have to keep note of their actions and publicize the hell out of it when they are up for reelection, save EVERYTHING because people forget.

There is no surprise in that list. I can’t wait to get rid of Cornyn. I’ve voted against him at least twice.

“Actually big business wants full single payer government run health care. They want to unload the cost of employer paid share of health care on the taxpayer and employees ...”

The latter does not necessitate the former.

ANY company in America could — Monday morning — announce that they no longer offer health insurance as a benefit; that employees would need to arrange health insurance for themselves in the open market prior to close of upcoming open enrollment.

In fact, if I had it MY way, it’d be out-and-out illegal for companies to offer health insurance as a benefit. Since when should the signature of one HR Director limit the free market options of every employee of any organization?
Since never, is the answer most are afraid to speak aloud.

Since when does a health insurance provider’s acquisition of that one, treasured HR Director’s signature promote reduced policy premiums in any way, shape or form?
Since never has ANY one-signature/many-customers model promoted cost-lowering competition in any market.

Companies — especially large corporations — offering health insurance as a benefit to their employees is one thing that is continuing to support premiums at existing high — and future higher — levels; it’s an anti-free market reality that benefits ONLY those who would eventually bind us all in the chains of a single payer system.

But knock that stick out of corporate hands, tell insurers they cannot any longer score 20,000 customers on the signature of ONE powerful corporate Director — force insurers to go mano a mano with Mr. and Mrs. American Employee...

Brother, you haven’t SEEN panic like that would unleash in the health insurance universe. But it would, ultimately, be GOOD panic for consumers.

Oh, and — for good measure — repeal Federal restrictions that mitigate insurers competing across State lines.

If those four get removed - or even two or they of them lose a primary- there will be a shift....a good shift. BUT we still have to primary all non Trump supporters.

Trump will have a great economy. Trump will massively change the judiciary. Trump will also realign the Republican Party in cycles... every two years, more rinos will be taken out.

Long term winning. Like.

Iirc 35 states are now fully controlled (all branches) by republicans.

That’s pretty close to 38.

If we could get 2/3 of Congress to propose it...lol

We have a problem with “cleaning house.”
That is, people often make an exception for their own senator or congressman. They know all the others stink but theirs is a good guy. He’s local, he’s done some good things for the community, he’s responsive, etc.
If everyone could vote for McCain he wouldn’t be where he is today. But only voters in Arizona have a say in that; and he has pleased enough of the people he has to please, to keep his job.

Heller is a walking dead man. He now has a challenger in Tarkanian who is polling even with him.

I wouldn't ordinarily give Danny Tarkanian a chance since he's failed so many times but, the voters are fed up with Dean Heller and we can't let the seat go Dimm.

More than the failure to repeal and replace Obamacare, I think the Public should be asking why these clowns are in session working only a third of the year. That seems to be a pretty generous Vacation Benefit. A Pox on all their houses.

The GOP Senate lost biggly on this one and Trump won biggly. Nothing like campaigning against Obamacare only to balk when given a real opportunity.
