Is anyone else doing some head scratching about Turtle's healthcare "strategy"?

I'm starting to actually think Turtle is trying to sink any healthcare repeal/replace, at least until after the midterms. At least.

First of all, it was the height of bad strategy to try to do this in a week or two.

Second, no one was whipping votes. The whole attempt seemed half hearted.

Now he sends the singularly most detested member of the Senate to try to negotiate with other Senators. As is well known, NOBODY likes Ted Cruz.

Overarching all of this is a bill that is just plain shitty. It polls as low as 12%. TWELVE percent.

Town halls are going on now and Senators are running away from them. Invitation only events, online private events, no events, question-prohibited events are the new norm. When citizens are allowed to speak, the sentiment is strongly against this bill.

I think Turtle smells blood in the water, and its HIS. He's a horrible man, but he ain't stoopit. He KNOWS this bill can kill his majority. I think he's trying to kill it before it kills him.
