It will when everyone stops paying

Everyone hates Congress - but rather, everyone should hate the absolutely massive, unelected, expensive Federal Government instead. It is a force unto itself, and it grows itself.
In a world where the Federal Register expands by 80,000 pages each year, Fed.gov uses printed money and debt to survive, we have a completely secretive surveillance state watching everyone and every big bank, insurance company, defense contractor and crony-capitalist with a lobbyist in DC is taking a skim - our elected representatives are the last thing “the people” have

Everyone hates Congress, but they think the OTHER guy’s the problem (SEE: McCain, Hatch, etc.)
They lied to the constituents and never intended to repeal Obamacare in any vote that mattered.
It won't work. Republicans have the power to fix it and will own the problems if they don't get something passed.
Murkowski will have to deal with this in, oh, 2022.
Capito is up sooner in 2020.
Both are legacies in states that ALWAYS vote for the incumbent.
Collins may be running for Governor, and if she resigns, it’s likely that Maine will elect a Democrat the next time they get to vote for a Senator.
In all honesty, the Eric Cantor situations are extremely rare and almost unheard of in the Senate.
Vote Republican!
Time is on our side.
0 of 60 Democrats voted REPEAL
49 of 52 Republicans voted REPEAL
Over time, more Obamacare pain and death, the more agreeable pols becomes.

In their defense, their constituents never “rise up” and have always been “all talk.”
..It’ll be amusing when pitchforks and torches really do come out.

Nothing. The problem is with the American people who want mutually exclusive objectives. They don’t want an individual mandate. They want the same price for all. They want no preexisting conditions. They want their kids covered until they’re 26. They want all those things and they want it cheap.
There aren't 60 Democrats in the US Senate.
Its time to play hardball with Capito and Murkowski. First, let Capito know that the FBI Fingerprint center will be moving out of WV.
Alaska is also loaded with federal employees. Start shutting down their pet projects.
They will pay attention to that. Count on it.
Trump needs to cut a deal with these renegades. I say Trump because he is the big shot negotiator and McConnell is ... well ... turtle soup. That’s how it works in DC.
I mean come on. They can’t redirect some infrastructure project or get some graft for their states so they vote yes for something they already voted yes on a few years ago?
They embarrass women, logic and reason. They are useless wretches elected by ignorant dolts.
They eill try to fix it. Trump must veto any fixes, even if the budget.
I am kicking myself for thinking this, “These problems all started with woman’s suffrage.” Now to the corner and a time-out.
“Congress is closer - a LOT closer - to nationalization than they are to repeal”
Tom Price’s initial response to Tucker Carlson’s question last night “would you support single payer?” was discouraging “well, the devil’s in the details”...
As if there is any need to know “the details” of a single payer system to understand that it is completely antithetical to liberty and the (once) American way.
Murkowski was never a Republican anyway. She’s always been a RINO and almost never votes with the GOP on matters that are really important. Doesn’t surprise me, and no matter how hard anyone tries to vote her out of office in Alaska she always finds a way to stay in office.
Only Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) voted against the same bill in 2015, and thus is consistent. Every other Republican senator still in the U.S. Senate voted for repeal.
The only other Republican to vote against this bill in 2015 was Kirk and he lost his seat 2016, no doubt in part because of his vote. Susan Collins will not be up for reelection again until 2020.
The 2 senators that changed their mind were West Virgina’s Shelley Moore (reelection 2020) and Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski. (reelection 2022 having just won reelection in 2016 on voting for repeal)
If either Alaska’s or West Virginia’s senator don’t change their minds we will have to see to it they are hanged politically for their corrupt duplicity in 2020 and 2022.
They are in an indefensible position of having campaigned for & voted for before conveniently opposing the exact same bill. Based entirely upon whether or not it would be vetoed. That means nothing they say can ever be trusted on any issue on which they don’t obtain immediate results for they have proven they are capable of changing their position the minute their so called claimed policy objectives are achievable.
Theses women are corrupt completely bought and paid for, as their political agenda is clearly not that which they campaigned for.
It’s the Republican primary voters who have caused all of this by insisting on nominating “electable” House and Senate nominees.
I fear you are right about Gorsuch.
