You and everyone else here needs to stop pushing the tired GOP good Dem bad meme and realize that they are just the same coin with different faces.

That's not what she said. She said the Democrats have enough votes to get this passed without GOP help. That's a fact, both in the House and Senate.

Your fact, that there may be GOP members who vote for a bill in both houses, doesn't take away from the fact that the Democrats can go it alone. Only the total vote count will tell the distribution, and that's yet to happen.

But let's play "what if". What if one of the current House bills becomes the final bill exactly as written. And lets say all Democrats in both houses vote for it, all but 3 House GOP member vote against it, and all but 2 Senate GOP members vote against it. Obviously those 5 GOP members would not have an affect had they voted against the bill because there would be sufficient Democrat support. This is what netmilsmom was addressing.

Sure, we need to get the RINO Republicans out as well as the Democrats so we can return to constitutional government. But that's a separate issue beyond what netmilsmom was addressing.

No, it’s not a separate issue; that’s my entire point. Yes we all dislike the Dems and know how they’re screwing us over. But, so many here say just what you did-oh the GOP isn’t great either but they’re “less evil” than the Dems so we’ll support them and hope that later we can get them more conservative.

You are rewarding them for less-bad behavior, but it’s still a reward. Until you remove the reward, you are an enabler of the bad behavior.

The GOP deserves NO support until the party and the leadership have rock-solid, abiding conservative views. Do you see the GOP putting someone like Pence or McCotter in a leadership position ? No, so why support the squishy middle - all you get are revolting compromises with Dems.
