Yes, Ryan and McConnell are leading groups of losers who were happy to pass legislation with no hope of signature but now when it might be signed, won’t touch it. They lied.

I want to see the Obamacare repeal. If they don’t repeal Obamacare, then what the heck are they doing? Why are they there? Why do we need to re-elect them if they won’t repeal Obamacare??
To: Reno89519
Yea, that’s what I’m talking about. They voted to repeal Obamacare many times, when they knew Obama would veto such repeal.
Why the heck was it so easy to vote to repeal Obamacare when Obama would veto it, but so hard to vote to repeal now that there is a president who would sign such legislation???
To: Cheerio
I love how we have the presidency, the senate, the congress, a majority of governorships...yet still get nothing done.
When Democrats are in charge, Democrats call the shots. When Republicans are in charge, Democrats call the shots.

Say-—just say-—Repeal passes. It’s going to be very, very hard for any R to not vote for a repeal. You might get Collins, but it would still pass. Even two defections still passes.
Then it goes to conference with the House. Ok, then what? House would have to abandon the “replace” stuff . . . and we are left with . . . Repeal.
How is this bad?
And while we want tax relief, I think most of us are pretty happy that Congress isn’t doing anything else.

With only a very small majority, the Republicans in the House & Senate need more victories next year since Dems totally obstruct, no votes!

Maybe because they’re handing the 2018 elections to their buddies across the aisle.

It is time to SHUTDOWN the government!
When RINO's decide to give Trump the BORDER WALL and other things, then the government will be allowed to run again.
Besides, SHUTTING DOWN the government will save money.

When LBJ was the Senate Majority Leader back in the 50s, he knew how to get every vote he needed...he kicked ass and the other Senators knew it.
McConnell is no LBJ.

The GOPe RINOs in the District abhor being the leaders and actaully having to govern - they believe they are much better suited as the opposition party. See how much opposition they presented to Hussein when he held sway for eight years!!! /s
GIVE ME ONE REASON TO VOTE REPUBLICAN IN 2018.

"...ObamaCare would be vaporized and replaced with a nickel rattling inside an empty Mountain Dew can.." They say that like it's a bad thing.
I would rather have a nickel rattling inside an empty Mountain Dew can than a grenade.

I think the “BIG TENT” philosophy of the Republican Party has backfired as the Republican Congress is now infused with significant numbers of Republicrats better known as “moderates”.
The enemy within.

It's going to be slaughter in the mid-terms. Not necessarily more people voting for Dems. But I don't see any enthusiasm for the incumbents.
It is going to be a turnout problem. Who could pull the lever for an "R" and actually in his heart believe that it will make a difference in how we are governed.
The best that can be said is that voting "R" could keep Democrats from control of the houses of Congress. But that doesn't mean the conservative agenda will be advanced.
To: Cheerio
The Senate Republicans are pure shi! and for the most part do not support Trump. They will destroy America by handing the Government back to the communists Democrats.
To: Cheerio
Soros owns Ryan, McConnell and most of these corrupt politicians.That's why they don't want obamacare repealed.
No one owns Trump.
