Not shocking considering replace only became part of the pitch after realizing how unpopular repeal only was.

8 fucking years they've had to come up with something. 8 years and they can't do a damn thing now that they have total control.
The GOP can't govern. The calls for a flat repeal will grow and God help you guys if they do it as they won't be able to replace it with anything.

I read the two that jumped think Gov should not be involved to the extent this bill requires.
Get ready for a bipartisan approach

UPDATE: WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, facing defeat on his "Obamacare" replacement, says he will push the Senate to pass a clean repeal bill.
The Republican leader made the announcement in a statement that came a few hours after two Republican senators dealt a fatal blow to the replacement bill unveiled last Thursday. Sens. Jerry Moran and Mike Lee joined two other senators in opposing the legislation, meaning McConnell lacked the votes to move ahead.

What's really funny is Moran actually just had a town hall and got an earful. Everything he whined about the bill doing badly was NOT what his constituents were complaining about. He likely isn't at risk but the GOP is still very tone deaf about why people hate this bill outside their own radicals.
It's standard sales tactics. Present the shittiest plan, so less shitty plans don't seem so bad. They'll get something that sticks as they keep rolling back I'm guessing, but it's gonna sick for the plebesAaaaaaand it's dead again. Two more senators just announced they can't support it.

The only clowns that get to ride in a caddilac, each on their own, at that tax payers expense.Somewhere a giant circus is missing 293 clowns.
I think most reasonable people acknowledge that the ACA has its own share of flaws and vulnerabilities, but in intent created more good than harm. The repeal and replace approach was never a viable option, and the Trumpcare was dead on arrival. The Pandora's Box is open, at this point we might as well just embrace single payer.The GOP: failing to lead and failing the USA since c. 1971.
You own this, republicans.

It is also worth noting that were it not for GOP governors that broke ranks in lending their voice to the opposition, and Republican Senators breaking ranks from their party, the ACA would now be dead.
Health care will most likely be THE singular issue that defines the midterm elections. Will be interesting to see who finds the voice to lead on health care.
I wouldn't count on the repeal being dead just yet, the house version also looked dead for a while, but then it came back and passed the 2nd time around.
However, this does leave the Republicans in a lot of trouble. They've had 6 months to work on this already, and they have no healthcare bill, no budget, no tax reform and no increase in the debt ceiling, so the next couple of months could get really ugly for them. And it only gets harder next year, as they approach the midterms and the possibility of a Democratic house.
I believe my post did acknowledge them? As the opposition party and in the current hyper partisan environment, I would not expect one Democrat to cross party lines in favor of any Trump led initiative. I was pleasantly surprised to see GOP leaders break ranks.I just want you to acknowledge those few brave GOP governors and senators that broke ranks to kill this joined literally every single democrat
