MSNBC ******BREAKING ****** SENATE PULLS BILL AS SUPPORT FALTERS *

[DemocratSinceBirth]

We rolled them.







*No vote this week. This version of the bill has been pulled. The only thing delay will do is give the opposition time to coalesce. Of course they can reintroduce a bill. They can reintoduce it to infinity. Great article on why :

9. Figured -- huge difference. Hope the OP edits because people are definitely going to get the wrong

idea. Particularly when there are already other threads about the delay.

[elleng]

8. Power in numbers

lets keep pushing back, they take us for fools.

[yallerdawg]

14. The Republican senators are taking a bus over to the White House at 4 ET.

I wonder if any will come out of the meeting with the Liar-in-Chief and acknowledge he really is bare naked and dumb as a rock!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. The entire Senate?

I hope some have the self respect not to get on the bus like a freaking school child on a field trip.

[madokie]

38. I guess I must be in a laughing mood

cause what you just typed got a big ass laugh out of me too.


"I wonder if any will come out of the meeting with the Liar-in-Chief and acknowledge he really is bare naked and dumb as a rock!"

[lpbk2713]

15. Hoofuckinray.

They did something right for a change.

[MFM008]

16. Oh shucks.

All those people can live a while longer...

[world wide wally]

18. Now they will put all the Kock Bros. money to work for them.

Watch for the propaganda ads to start soon

[Trial_By_Fire]

19. The bill isn't yet dead for sure...

We need to keep on fighting this.

[orbitalman]

20. Defending to Infinity...

just like their hearings!!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. Somebody who reads a whole post and follows an asterisk.

Thank you.

[B2G]

21. So I guess it's over now.

EDIT YOUR POST.

TIA.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

What part of "No vote this week. This version of the bill has been pulled. The only thing delay will do is give the opposition time to coalesce. Of course they can reintroduce a bill. They can reintoduce it to infinit " don't you understand?

[B2G]

BREAKING: Senate Majority Leader Pulls Trumpcare Bill ... For Now ...
www.dailywire.com/.../breaking-senate-majority-leader-pulls-trumpcare-ben-shapiro


BTW, I copied my header deliberately from the MSNBC chyron as the story broke.

[BigmanPigman]

22. Don't relax and keep your seat belts fastened...did you already forget what happened in the House?!

[Tatiana]

23. Don't be fooled.

He's trying to twist some arms and offer "sweeteners" to get him to 50.

This is a way to buy him some time (and drum up some $$$$).

[grantcart]

32. They will NEVER bring it to a vote with just 50

Then every single R Senator would face a Tsunami that they were the deciding vote back home.

There will be no vote.

[Tatiana]

34. Pence is the tie-breaker.

I think McConnell would take that gamble. We need to put pressure to make sure he can't get to 50, IMHO.

[grantcart]

40. that is not the point

If they pass it with 50 plus Pence then every Senator has to return to his home state as being the deciding vote.

If they pass it with 51 one every Senator can say "it was going to pass anyway and I was able to get some valuable changes into it".

For this reason Republican leadership NEVER brings things up for a close vote. They want at least 4-5 votes so every member can walk away from personal responsibility.

If it comes down to 50 votes plus Pence they will not bring it to a vote because every Republican Senator would have to take 100% responsibility for a terrible bill knowing that Trump will still criticize it on a tweet one day.

This bill never had a chance to pass and will never come to a vote.

[Tatiana]

41. From your lips to God's ears.

I hope you're right.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

44. I said this bill will pass the Senate with a comfortable margin or it won't pass at all.

No Republican senator wants to be Marjorie Margolies

[grantcart]

47. so why did they bother

[DemocratSinceBirth]

48. Because they have been trying to replace the ACA for seven years.

They are like the dog that caught the bus.

[ffr]

24. McConnell looking weak and more ineffective as the senate majority leader

Republicans can't even pass their anti-American pro-Republican agenda. They're pathetic!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. In his defense you can't make chicken salad out of chicken s--t.

[hibbing]

25. Like the turd that won't flush, it will be back n/t

[mythology]

35. In this case with Mitch McConnell as Senate majority leader

It's the turdle that won't flush.

[hibbing]

37. Thumbs up!

[ffr]

26. Let the Affordable Care Act stand, senator! n/t

[Rollo]

30. Didn't the House already vote to repeal the ACA over 50 times?

The gang that can't shoot straight, misses yet again...

The other repeal votes were in full knowledge that if the Senate didn't vote them down, Obama would veto it. So they didn't bother to put together a workable replacement. And, so far, it looks like nothing has changed on that score, although they can't blame it this time on Obama's expected veto.

Sad.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

42. They have the majority. They can vote on as many bills as they want.

However if they keep tinkering with bill they might get to a pint where they can't do it through the reconciliation process and it will will be filibustered.

[bucolic_frolic]

43. They know they have the power to pull off this heist

but a few laggards don't want to face the political consequences of destroying their party

I'm so sorry the sick people who are pawns in this game of chicken

but know the GOP RIGHT has painted itself into a corner here: fail to repeal - failure.
repeal - failure of policy. Painting this as a win for anyone other than Mitch's 400 Billionaires
is a hard sell.

Democrats will make bank on it either way.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

46. If real lives weren't at stake I rather have the issue.

[cstanleytech]

49. They probably intend to do what the House Repugnants did and try a secret

last minute vote to get it passed to avoid any push back by the voters in their states.

[SummerSnow]

50. So the victory party is canceled in the Rose Garden? Aww shucks :(

[ailsagirl]

52. Love that

"as support falters"

[Demsrule86]

53. Portman not supporting bill...called and called...twitter email...entire family and was

on facebook too...yes yes yes ! We have to keep up the pressure...the closer to midterms, the less chance there will be to pass this piece of shit...murder bill.
