CNN ^ | May 2, 2017 | Lauren Fox

The White House and congressional Republicans are in serious danger of not having enough votes to pass their health care bill.

Several Republicans have come out Monday against the current measure to repeal and replace Obamacare, bringing CNN's whip count to 21 Republicans -- mostly moderates -- opposed to the bill with at least 17 lawmakers still undecided.

The traitors in the Republican Party are emboldened by President Trump’s abandonment of everything Deplorables believe in. I thought he was a great negotiator. Why did he enable and embolden those ‘pubs who don’t support Trump or his agenda?

Either tell who are the holdouts or bring up the vote so we know who to blame.

This should have been easy with the biggest house GOP majority in 50 years.

People have to be brought to the woodshed.

Legislation should be proposed (perhaps authored by the White House itself) requiring all elected to Federal office,and retires from such offices,be required to have ObamaCare instead of their current plan.

No worries. These people who oppose freedom will be targeted for defeat.

Remember Eric Cantor, the sure winner?

Remember Richard Lunar, the sure winner?

Remember Hitlery Clinton, the sure winner?

All were defeated because the people finally said no.

Damn Republicans. I'm done with the party. Communists Democrats and a good many of the House Republicans are hard core liberals.

As Boner said, “It’s the law of the land.” And as we all know, once they’re on the books, laws usually don’t go away.

I still wonder if once again we haven’t been had. Hillary will never go to prison and monuments will be built in her honor and schools will be named after her. A wall will never be built. And Obamacare will never be repealed.

Just my opinion. And that’s worth about as much as a rino’s promise.

I doubt these Republicans would vote for steak at a steakhouse unless someone told them the Democrats had ordered it first. I’m not in the least bit surprised they can’t muster the votes to end 0bamacare.

Name Names to take the walk of shame!!! These people are not protecting the American people - they are protecting their arces with their constituents or being bribed by leftists. Name them then vote them out. We do not do business with the democrats of the past administration. They are liars, cheats, greedy leftists.

agree, if they are valid.

CNN just tweaking us also by using a number that could or could not be true...

Until the actual vote is taken and it succeeds or fails , all of this is like forecasting the weather based on it being sunny today, then a few clouds etc...
