Jim, there is no path to repeal short of playing hardball. They can’t get it through the Senate unless they blow up the rules and do away with the filibuster.
Cruz’ idea to bring VP Pence to substitute for the Senate Parliamentarian is the same as blowing up the rules. It won’t be a repeal, it will be a demolition, not a repeal.
The President is going to have to unleash AG Sessions to go after the democrats where they are weak which is in abding by the law.
Right now the democrats are laughing because they know the republicans can’t get a repeal with steering the country to full-blown mob rule democracy.
That’s why prison time has to be held out as a reality that’s coming. Then the democrats won’t be laughing and 60 votes to repeal Obamacare will be a spring tea party.
Repeal or bust!
If you can’t repeal it, let Obamacare crash and burn on its own.
Do not bullshit an old bullshiter
Senate rules can be changed ANYTIME 51 senators vote to do so.
How did they get a repeal bill to Obama’s desk?
The veto was expected. But Republicans claimed victory nonetheless, arguing that they met two goals by finally passing a repeal bill: keeping a promise to voters in an election year, and **showing that they are capable of repealing the law if a Republican wins November’s presidential election.** All the GOP presidential candidates support repealing the law widely referred to as “Obamacare.”
Sorry, it’s from MSN :-(
