He says if the House doesn't vote and pass it tomorrow that he'll stop dealing with them and we're all "stuck" with Obamacare as it is now.
Do they take the bait and pass it tomorrow morning?

I was sure it would pass at the last minute tonight (in the wee hours of Friday, rather....). But today was a complete GOP shitshow. Maybe it won't?

it will be because Mercer or Koch are able to bribe enough republicans to vote for it

will then bribe the "moderates" to vote for it, I'm sure.
