--Excerpt--
Dissent is all part of the script. Trumpcare is right where Republicans want it.

To walk into the Senate side of the U.S. Capitol on Thursday morning was less to enter an ongoing, real-life debate of mysterious outcome than to assume your role in a hackneyed script.


About 100 reporters huddled outside the Mike Mansfield Room, where Republican senators were meeting to unveil the Better Care Reconciliation Act. Reporters in the script asked the senators questions as they entered, and senators, per the script, said, “We’ll see.” After the meeting, senators responded to most questions with, “I’m still reviewing the text, but it’s a promising start.” At least this is what the rank and file, who are largely content with the product, said.
The script requires small groups of moderates and conservatives to each have problems with the bill. They will now go about seeking changes—probably already known to the author, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, but preserved for revelation in a later act.

It may or may not be an act .. but I think this will ultimately pass senate.

1. Manufactured Dissent. McConnell has been reading Chomsky nt

2. And we will take this and hang it around the neck of every Republican

Dean Heller can kiss his seat goodbye. My rep in NY21, Stefanik, can kiss her seat goodbye. I predict we will gain 80 seats in the House and take the Senate. Those DC cops dragging the disabled out of the hallway today - best metaphor for the Republicans ever.
This is murder. Literally.

3. Yes it is murder

4. We can hang it around their necks all we like...

...but, unless we can retake the House, Presidency, AND 60 Senate seats, there will be no way to undo it. Ever.
