hemma Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Some of these 'No' votes may decide it is politically prudent to have an upset stomach and miss the vote. Help lower the threshold a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Republican leaders struggling to win GOP votes with hours left before the vote. The question Republican Congressmen need to ask themselves this morning is, “Who is the constituency for this bill?” Odds are, Mr. or Mrs. Congressperson, it isn’t the voters who elected you, nor is it Democrats who would prefer something even closer to single-payer.

Rockpile233 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) It's being reported Ryan pulled it and Trump supported the decision.

IDBillzFan Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Republicans only had 7 years to come up with a replacement for Obamacare , they need more time The makeup of the GOP has changed dramatically in the last seven years, but I appreciate everyone copy/pasting this talking point. Frankly, I'm glad to see there are people still willing to buck the GOP system. You'd never find that kind of spine on the left. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
