It will appear that it is dead, there won't be the hurried vote. The Conservative opponents will get some of what they want and, magically, there will be 50 Senators voting for this POS.

(12,504 posts)bigoted hand when he said he would make Obama a 1 term president. The racist will never be excused for opting to damage the country to satisfy his racist appetite for all things non-Obama.
For such a technologically advanced country its embarrassing to have such an ignorant hillbilly hick leading the U.S. Senate. Just damn embarrassing.

(6,395 posts)...its pretty hard to be against your own damn bill. The ACA is a GOP construction...but went against it because how dare a black guy get into office and use one of their proposals.
If they came out and said, "were doing single payer and we wanted this, but the Democrats wouldn't even hear us out"...granted it would be bullshit, but they would have scored points given the mentality of some of the electorate. But they courted way too much of libertarian and leaning libertarian wing. They want no plan, hell, they are only a hair shy of being anarchists.
