The Deplorables Plan To Pass Chump Care

They know it is a wildly unpopular piece of shit and they will try to get it out of the House without it being scored by the Congressional Budget Office and before there can be hearings or the opposition has a chance to coalesce.

If the Deplorables in swing districts which I define as those that a Deplorable and Clinton won or those where a Deplorable and Trump won by a small margin want to vote for the aforementioned piece of shit so be it. It's their seats to lose.

The real action will be in the Senate because by that time the #resistance will be organized.

I believe they plan to include it in a budget bill so it won't need 60 votes. hedda_foil Apr 2017 #3

They will have to completely "nuke" the filibuster if they hope to pass it in the Senate. roamer65 Apr 2017 #4

and that will save him from himself. He believes the mental light weights Tom Price and Paul Ryan. The question is, down the road, will he try to bolster the ACA by working with democrats and moderate Republicans. If he does, he may have to get rid of Ryan. It has become clear that the Republicans are incapable of passing a plan the helps anybody.

I remember when the GOP brought impeachment to the Senate and then Majority Leader, Trent Lott, privately reamed the impeachment managers for dropping this "piece of shit" in the GOP Senate's lap.

If that happens, it will have a decent chance of passing.
