House GOP leaders are expressing confidence that the Republican-sponsored American Health Care Act (AHCA) to repeal and replace Obamacare will pass Thursday afternoon, though it will face an uncertain path in the Senate.

"This will pass," House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-California, told reporters as he left a closed-door meeting with the House Republican Conference. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana, also seemed confident that the bill would pass.

This bill neither repeals nor replaces ACA, it amends ACA.

Yes. And as such it represents a necessary baby step in the right direction.

Politics is the art of the possible, not the whimsical. The GOPe Congress clearly had no belly for passing a straight up repeal of Obamacare&,dash;not with a President in the White House who would actually sign it.

Many #NeverTrumpers and Trump doubters are consistently underestimating this President's passion and will to win. President Trump doesn't want to get blamed for a crappy solution on the Obamacare issue, so I'm convinced that he isn't doing this for mere "window dressing". He wants to win for the American People, and he wants to get the credit for that win.

Mark my words: the naysayers are going to be disappointed again and again if they bet against Donald J. Trump...

It’s not Trump, it’s the lying swine in Congress.

The word ‘purity’ does not appear in the Declaration, the Constitution nor the oath of office from my reading. The problem is not the purity (or lack thereof) of our elected leaders. The problem is the lack of ‘purity’ (read: insistence that our leaders keep their oath of office) of voters. We get the leaders that *you* deserve.

>> SHUT UP you must be an anti- Trumper Cruz Stooge that should be zotted! I know the primaries are over but you’re still a Cruz stooge. Forget the fact I’m the only one that keeps bringing the primaries back into this! Can’t you tell he is playing 4 dimensional multifaceted extraterrestrial chess that you just don’t get understand! /s <<

Heh. I criticized Trump's position on health care tonight and that's exactly how the AHCA defenders reacted. We're all just JEALOUS cuz Cruz didn't win and can't GET OVER the primary election!

Funny thing, Cruz was far from my first choice for President, and I hold Cruz to the same standards I hold Trump to (I stand with him when he's right, and oppose him when he's wrong. If Cruz ever endorses the AHCA, I'll criticism him for it, too)

I think the AlwaysTrumpers are just triggered by being reminded that their "Prezzie Trump will make Cruz his veep and then put on SCOTUS" talking points from the campaign season have now been proven delusional nonsense.
