Drip Drip Drip. A shoe about to fall?
Just for those following the devious twists and turns of the Obamacare repeal/replace process...

This is a ‘Phase 3’ bill. It will be voted on the same week as the Ryancare bill.
Now, this sounds like the typical ‘Lucy pulls the football’ stunt that the RINOs pull on the conservatives: the Senate Dems kill it by filibuster.
BUT- there’s Trump now. He *may* pull in 8 Dems to break a filibuster.
The thing to watch for is if the RINOs load it up with ‘killer amendments’ that please conservatives but prevent moderate Senate Dems from going along.
Fun stuff!
Thanks for the background stars & stripes forever
