Amazing. The art of the deal, in action right before our very own eyes. This is amazing, if it happens. Here’s what they’ve been doing so far: act like you just can’t get everything (repeal and replace) done; get some senators oppose the replacement idea, then, BAM, oh well it looks like all we can do now is repeal, and then work on replace later (ahem). End result: repeal happens. That’s my optimistic (perhaps sci-fi?) interpretation of McConnell’s statement along with all the other maneuvers and words up until now.
