Not only no, but hell no!
Why doesn’t Ryan just pass a straight repeal through the House and then send it to the Senate and let the Senate amend as necessary to get it through the Senate? Any Senate amendments would require that it go back to the House so the House would have the final say.
What am I missing?
I don’t believe RINOs will change giving healthcare to illegals after this bill passes
This is not Trump’s loss.
It is Ryan’s loss.
It is the GOPe loss.
We won.
Trump will come up with something else that complies with his promises.
When this vote fails we will KNOW who stabbed us in the back and voted NO because Trump is demanding a roll call vote. We will see who the the quislings that are “Oh so much more conservative than everybody else” are. They will be exposed. They will not be able to hide behind a cancelled vote.
I left the Republican Party three years ago and these lying good for nothing POS have just reminded why I did. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ANOTHER REPUBLICAN AGAIN.
Nope, they just don’t like slop anymore than we do.
It is not a good bill.
It is 80-95% Obamacare.
What the hell are you folks smokin?
They need to have a vote on full repeal, win or lose.
If the bill passes as it is WE won’t SEE phase 2 or 3 that’s the problem!!!
Single payer is right where this is headed, with no health care savings accounts and no lowering of state borders for insurance.
This is 80-95% Obamacare. HELL NO to that.
The only circus is the three ring job that the GOPe, Ryan, and other RINOs pushed off on us in this devilish plan.
The Obamacare legislation was thousands of pages long.
This eliminated very little of that. Why do you folks not see that?
What am I missing?
Nothing. What RIyaNO is missing is principles and a spine.
“It is Ryan’s loss”
So you are will to sacrifice an outstanding agenda just to get at Ryan?
Forget Ryan, pass the bill to keep the ball rolling. Trump is doing everything we have been needing, don’t kick the ball out of bounds.
Sorry, I don’t get all the hate for Ryan.
Take any situation:
Good outcome - Yeah Trump!
Bad outcome - Ryan’s a Chump!
The quislings are those not even putting full repeal to a vote - and those pretending that cutting the taxes while leaving the expenses and regulations, as RINOcare does, is anything other than a disaster waiting to happen.
I have read and/or heard explained the long-winded, convoluted explanation (as in the cited article), about why it has to be done in three parts, a number of times now. The more I hear it, the more I come to the conclusion that the only thing missing is for Republicans to grow a pair and implement the nuclear option (aka the Reid option), and get rid of this stuff with a simple majority. But it seems that they’re all too afraid to stand up and say “we won” like Obama did, so instead they feel they have to resort to this parliamentary trickery, like they’re ashamed of repealing Obamacare. I’m pretty much disgusted with this Congress by now.
The President is a man of his word. We will see all three phases. If someone in Congress promises it, you are right. But Trump will make it happen. And that’s a fact!
The Obamacare legislation is thousands of pages long.
This changes very little of it.
Why can’t you get that through your head?
I don’t want 80-95% of Obamacare left over.
This is a terrible start and you should know it.
I am thankful that the Republicans held on to the Senate last year, RINOs and all. The alternative would have been Senate Majority Leader Chuckie Schumer blocking every single one of President Trump's cabinet and judicial appointments.
2016 was not the year for replacing RINOs with Democrats. 2018 is a totally different issue.
In 2018, far more Democrat Senate seats are up for election than Republican ones. While it would be nice for the Republicans to pick up a filibuster proof majority, it won't do a damned bit of good if it includes RINOs voting with the Democrats. It is worth replacing a few RINOs with Democrats if it means also replacing some RINOs with Conservatives.
Now is the time to be picking Republican Senators and Congresscritters to focus on throwing out in the primaries. How they vote on repealing Obamacare will be the first test for which ones are worth keeping and which ones need to be dumped.
