Anyone else enjoy the Repubs squirming on Obamacare replacement?

Pulled from vote

Rekt.

Next question is: significant overhaul, or is the attempt to replace ACA dead? Sounds like the latter given leaks of an all-or-nothing approach.

Considering a few on that side of the isle spent the better part of a decade attempting to halt or repeal it, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if there were more pushes. It'd be a crying shame if they gave up after one shove after finally being allowed in the ring.

Dammit, they smartened up. I so wanted a vote today.

Apparently the dems were chanting "vote, vote, vote"

I think Trump's interest coming back to this is between no fucking way and zero. He has his sights on taxes, trade, etc.

It looks like Trump got tired of winning before everyone else did. I would not have predicted that.

GOP to Americans:

We can't think of any better than Obamacare.

Early 1990s: GOP demanded Obamacare when Clinton was proposing a more universal coverage.
2006: Mitt Romney passed Obamacare in Massachusetts
2010: Obama passed the bill that the GOP had wanted for decades.
Early 2010s: GOP says Obamacare is worst thing ever.
2017: GOP realizes that Obamacare is what they wanted all along. Was this their moment of sanity?

Ding, dong, the bill is dead.
Which old bill?
The health care bill!
Ding, dong, the wretched bill is deaaaaaaaad

Darn... I wanted to see a vote just to observe the response on all sides.

If the day wasn't dramatic enough apparently Comey just entered the WH. Nobody knows why.

I'm reading (with no actual sources) that Manafort and Roger Stone are wanting to testify.

 

[MrSquished]

Where was the dissent from the Republicans on this vote? Was it too many thinking it would uninsure too many people or was it conservatives who felt it was still too liberal of a bill? I have my guess.

There's just been so much winning so far for the Donald.

Lol.

WH says it's nothing...so I can only assume it's something.

Seven years of crying and teeth gnashing about the ACA and Republicans can't even agree on a suitable replacement.

We the people have elected a man who doesn't know anything about governing to lead a party who cannot govern. Sweet.

Both.

Manafort "volunteered" to testify, after hiring a lawyer and a crisis management firm who undoubtedly told him that volunteering makes him look better, and knowing he will have to testify anyway.

Woot party time, suck it trump!

I dont think they ever hated Obamacare. They just hate they didnt get credit for it as Romneycare.

The thing they have been lying this whole time about having something better. Even if the 7 years was flat out lies, they won the election in early November. You'd think between November and March, they'd be able to get the act together on their side by now in terms of what they wanted to do on the most important issue of the campaign.

its one thing to fail. Its another thing to fail this miserably when you were given ample time to prepare.

Anyone think Trump is going to delay or even miss his weekend golf trip over this?

I think he'll lengthen the stay a bit

 

[vi edit]

And the clown car keeps on rolling......

To be fair, I think Obamacare (the name) came about as an attempt from the major Republican side to make it look worse, to tie it directly to his name, so if it failed it took him with it. If it had been known as ACA (with ties to previous republican plans) it sinks both ships if it tanks.

Hahahaha .. Common people, really, noone knew it was this complicated!!... Haaaaaaahahaha

Apparently Putin didn't like this bill. I'm not saying "I know" but "people are saying Putin didn't like this bill" that's why Trump advised against a vote.
