Everyone seems bewildered with why the GOP had a big celebration

after a vote that was only a win in the House. Perhaps the GOP know they have no chance in the Senate and wanted their base to experience a health care win for the GOP, even though it will fail in the end. Trump is all about show. Could be They know low information voters will not know the difference and will just remember the event in the rose garden.

" know low information voters will not know the difference and will just remember the event in the rose garden".

Those voters don't know the difference between their left and right shoes, much less anything of significance.

them celebrating taking away healthcare for the poor to give big tax breaks to people who absolutely do not need the money. It should be played on every major network station and cable.

DNC needs to run ads showcasing these fucks celebrating their decision to rip healthcare from millions of Americans and to punish people with PEC's.

Have some balls and hit these fuckstains with a full on ad campaign. Orangeman wants to start campaigning now? Fine let's do it.

remember Trump voters wanted obamacare repealed but didn't want to lose the insurance they bought on the exchange (because they didn't know they are the same thing). GOP had a victory party because in the minds of their voters they GOP already fullfilled their promise to repeal. they do not understand the senate has to take it up. so really best of both worlds for GOP..... if the bill dies in the senate the voters are happy because they unwittingly keep their obamacare, AND believe obamacare was repealed by the GOP. They think the GOP protected them while living under Obamacare!!!!!
