Using Manchin Gambit To Pass ACA Repeal. They Will Never Give Up.

Last edited Sat Aug 12, 2017, 02:52 PM - Edit history (1)

Actually the GOP wants to take away ALL health care unless you are filthy rich. No matter the protest or anger it looks like the country will be facing the gauntlet over health care and just about anything else that makes this country livable.

One sure hopes the Minchin mans up and says no to this bullshit.

If he takes the job we will lose a Dem vote in the Senate and can say goodbye to ACA. I sure hope he turns it down!

to pressure him to become Sec of Energy. All of the right wing media will make these blind followers of WV hysterically angry if he doesn't take it. Pray to God that he has the spine to say NO.

1. He sees the big picture, what would happen if he gave up his Senate seat.
2. He knows he won't have the independence to do the job necessary in the cabinet position. Or the staff.
3. He knows how erratic "the boss" is and can be, therefore allowing him to be replaced without warning.
4. Democrats will remember he either flips or stays. If the latter and the Senate returns to democratic majority, he will be rewarded.
