Senate GOP 'no' votes already caving

As our own Joan McCarter predicted earlier, several GOP senators would soon come out against the Senate bill and they would be “lying.” Right on cue:

Sen. Rand Paul told reporters on Capitol Hill that the Senate bill just didn’t go far enough to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

“I don’t think there’s anybody in America who’s more against Obamacare than myself,” he said. “I just didn’t run on Obamacare-lite.”

But Paul stressed that the version released Thursday morning was just a “draft” and that GOP senators at their morning meeting all said they were “open to changes.” So sure, it’s quite possible that every Republican who says they’re a “no” gets to add some amendment that they can tout as a “win” (and maybe get a behind-closed-doors commitment from McConnell on something else). And then there’s Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, who just wants someone to hold his hand.

1. Trump's base hope the 4 stand firm against the bill

They want a full repeal of ObamaCare.

2. The Saddest Part

The saddest part is the cowardly nature of the bill, putting off the ugly consequences until after the next two presidential elections. Maybe the Republicans hope all the people to be deprived of healthcare after 2025 will forget who wrote the bill.

6. Or

"Maybe the Republicans hope all the people to be deprived of healthcare after 2025 will forget who wrote the bill."

Or, they may be hoping most of us will be dead.

11. They are that fucking deranged

You know gded well they will blame it on the evil liberals either way. And, their zombies will KNOW it as fact, and the "middle" will go along for the ride.

3. A LOT of Kabuki theater going on...

They love to talk things down, then turn around and vote for them.

All part of the grand design.

12. I saw Rand on CNN yesterday

To sum his opposition up, it isn't horrible enough.

Pretty sure these scumbags can accommodate him.

4. They won't be able to ram it through under reconciliation, depending on the changes made or

to be made

10. Do you honestly think these people

Are going to follow the rules at the last moment?

It's done.

7. Thing is if it goes far enough the gop will lose the key votes in

Vulnerable districts.
