7. Strange, it seems the more the GOP whip tries to get votes...

the more votes slip between their fingers...

Well, when you are holding onto shit and trying to hide it from the person you want to con into buying it from you, it does start to seep through your fingers and expose the whole distasteful racket.

9. I would not be surprised if Trump hurt their cause yesterday with his rambling about pre-existing.

[More_Cowbell]

14. Nice Princess Leia quote....

Always appropriate!

[0rganism]

15. the tighter you squeeze a turd

the more it slips through your fingers

don't ask me how i know this

[Demsrule86]

19. And Trumpcare deathcare is definitely a 'turd'.

[wildeyed]

22. They think the GOP is making the same mistakes Dems made?

What? Like actually passing legislation?

[Demsrule86]

6. Keep calling...it is close or Chaffez would not be flying back.

[Tom Rinaldo]

23. Yep. Had a long talk with Fasso's DC office today. First term Republican - upstate NY swing district

Guy talked with me for at least 5 minutes, offered weak defense but took notes. I played up the AARP angle big time, among many other points.

[Demsrule86]

28. Good idea. I had not though to use the AARP...I had a Ohio rep tell me prep-existing were

protected. Liars.

[Demsrule86]

8. Keep calling...we can do this...resist and persist

Link to tweet

10. *Whew*

I read earlier today that they had the votes.

I love when repubs look stupid.

[Demsrule86]

12. Call if you can...still too close.

[femmocrat]

13. Good reminder, thanks.

My congressman is a lost cause though.

[Demsrule86]

21. Be warned GOP...

[mcar]

17. I let my TP Congress critter know my views on the matter

[Demsrule86]

18. I have called too...we can do this...they are faltering.

[mcar]

20. They are drowning in their own incompetence

[Demsrule86]

25. Please let it continue...until we rid ourselves of this scourge in 18 and get rid of whoever is

in the White House in 20.

[mcar]

34. Yes

And continued good health to our elder SCOTUS members.

[L. Coyote]

24. How much cash did they rake in from the insurance industry this time?

[Demsrule86]

26. Plenty....I am sure. But not enough for some moderates to give up their seats I hope.

[onecaliberal]

27. Please let this be true....

[liberal N proud]

29. There must be enough assholes (republicans) who fear loosing in 2018

[Demsrule86]

33. Lets call them all...they don't have the votes now.

But too close.

[rufus dog]

30. I believe your title is incorrect

It should be "GOP on the verge of losing Health Care vote for the THIRD FUCKING TIME IN SIXTY DAYS!

[Demsrule86]

32. I have but one suggestion...

... third motherfucking time!!!!

[rufus dog]

36. LOL

[Demsrule86]

31. Trump may have thrown Trump care bill under the bus...call to finish it off. 202-224-3121

President Donald Trump said Monday the Republican health-care bill being negotiated in Congress ultimately will protect Americans with pre-existing conditions as well as Obamacare does.
“I want it to be good for sick people. It’s not in its final form right now," he said during an Oval Office interview Monday with Bloomberg News. "It will be every bit as good on pre-existing conditions as Obamacare."

What does this mean? It means there can't be a vote on whatever it is that's in Trump's head this week. There just isn't time to rewrite all of that by Friday. Now Trump has given every wavering Republican all the cover they need to say no to this bill. Let's give them a little a push.

House Republicans are hell-bent on ripping away our health insurance. Call your member of Congress at 202-224-3121, and demand they vote NO on a renewed Trumpcare that is worse than the one before. Remind them they work for you.

37. It's like watching Wile E. Coyote trying to catch the road runner!

I have a preview of what next week's Obamacare repeal is going to look like:
