So where is the hard core repeal only text that can get 60 votes from a 2017 Senate. Or even emerge from a 2017 House?
All those previous votes were for bills that could not become law, so lots of votes were cast that had no cost to them. No one blames anyone for a vote cast for something that didn’t become law.
But now you face a Senate that would filibuster. So where is your text to get 60?
Chest beating ideology doesn’t get legislation to the President’s desk.
Y’all are wallowing in an ideology echo chamber here where you’re not required to govern. But with a majority, you have to govern, now. So where is the legislation that will get 60? Or even 50 Senators, with at least 2 likely to lose their seats next year. Where is it?
Don’t lie to us. Don’t tell us we’re going to be eating steak when RyanCare was a crap sandwich. This bill was crafted by the GOPe in the dark of night. If Phase 1 passed, do you really believe that Ryan would have pushed for Phases 2 and 3? Be honest and involve everyone in the process before a bill is crafted!
