The resolution passed today 51 to 48 with one Democrat not voting. Rand Paul was the only Republican voting against. He voted against due to the 9 trillion addition to the national debt over the next 10 years. He favors repeal of Obamacare but wants simultaneous replacement.

Like it or not, it has to be done in pieces. So does immigration.

Repeal and REPLACE Obamacare.

Replace is something Trump has said since the beginning, and is a very important detail.

Repeal and REPLACE. Could be that is what he is taking a stand on, and I agree 100% with the gentleman.

Go Rand Paul.

Rand Paul needs to go bye-bye.

I don’t blame him.
But I don’t trust the numbers.

And I haven’t heard any more about switching to ‘dynamic scoring’.

Rand, I used to think highly of you.
Now I think you are either very stupid or very bought/owned.
You are hereby forwarded to my virtual garbage heap.

I’ve about had it with Republicans not getting 10000% behind our Donald. What more, as a People, must be done to communicate the direction we want our country to take?

Pitchforks for ALL those who oppose DJT and his proposals.

Why is THIS Congress assuming an EXTRA $9 TRILLION in debt for the next number of years? The annual budgets under 0bama have been $1.1-1.2 Trillion. Was that simply not enough?

Nice job, there, Frodo.

How did this guy get elected, anyway? He has all the personality of a wet rock.

I am not going to give the WP the ad revenue for the click...anyone know/have a source as to why there is a $9 trillion obligation to fully repeal Obamacare? Repeal means that everyone added via Medicaid is back off and subsidies for Obamacare are gone. Should be revenue neutral (back to the way is was in 2007).

Why does the resolution assume 9 trillion additional debt? According to the article, Cruz, Lee and Rubio support the resolution, just not the spending outlays....huh?

Sounds like we need more info on this resolution before throwing Rand under the bus.

It’s good that it passed. Rand Paul needs to get his priorities straight.

So the Compost is now a believable source of news?

Since when?

If the Compost came out and told us that tomorrow will be the 5th of January, 2017.

I would have to check my paper and digital calendars to make sure.

He’s right.

They should use healthcare reform as a chance for bipartisan agreement. It’s a live grenade. If Republicans do what the left-wing statists did and ram it down the countries throat without any compromises or deals then it will explode in their face just like Obamacare.

Trade healthcare reform for something more important.

Failed 2016 presidential candidate Rand Paul is a rather tiny man (5'7, 157 lbs.)...but with a HUGE Napoleonic complex and drive.

Ignored and forgotten by the media and public for months, he's now decided to be a rogue Republican to get back into the limelight.

He's a flaky fruitcake Libertarian which he masks very well with his calm and measured smooth-talking, his earnest demeanor and his boyish appearance. Inside his head is a feverish brain working constantly at self-promotion.

I hope President-Elect Trump slaps this twerp upside, downside and sideways....and consigns him to Elba for the remainder of his term.

The FACT is if this Congress does nothing the debt increases by $9T over the next 10 years anyway.
The Watch is on for Obama’s $20T debt before he leaves office....
