if they don't pass it, it's a new day, it seems to me. I thought I'd renew the question.

now trump can say.."see I tried"....Ryan can say...."see, I tried but now Trump says no longer important so we live with Obamacare and we move on to taxes"......saving further embarrassment and discussion of the awful conservative bill...while only pissing off their mad dogs....the senate will do nothing to their relief

this doesn't solve 2018 problem as we would have conservatives in the house on record with destroying healthcare...but a minimizing the level of pissed voters....

this is a way out from getting unstuck from the tar baby

Now I am not so sure.

I still vote Yes, but I think Cheeto Benito being an asshole is not going to help his case.

more Republicans decide to vote against it. I hope that trend continues, but I'm not sure.

If it doesn't pass it will be incredibly embarrassing to Trump and Ryan.

The ads for our side will write themselves.
My Congressperson (Brian Fitzpatrick, R-PA06) has said he will vote against it for a *good* reason - our district has a real problem with opiate addiction and the bill will reduce or eliminate substance abuse coverage. Let's see if he actually puts his constituents over his party, or if he wimps out. He's a freshman so who knows.

The only long term position is to let Obamacare slowly become intractable, similar as to how the HHS in the UK has been gutted.

A dramatic change as proposed by the hard liners can't happen.

They literally strive on incompetency, because they want the government to be incompetent. They want the government to be slandered as non-viable.
