McConnell has the votes otherwise he wouldnt be bringing it up for a vote

[Eliot Rosewater]

That is what I am hearing

Like I said, Obama getting credit for something is NOT gonna stand, it doesnt matter how many of us they have to kill.

[Loki Liesmith]

1. So why did he bring it up last time?

[Hoyt]

4. My question too. I think he just wants to go home and tell the vile white wing racists he did

everything he could to keep his promise to repeal ACA, but some GOPers went rogue. I hope he can't go home declaring victory.

[delisen]

5. I figured he had to prove to his backers that he had done

everything he could to justify their investment in him and the Republican Party.

2. There's a lot to happen before now and a vote.

And not enough votes hasn't stopped him before!

[Cracklin Charlie]

3. They shouldn't have named it "Obamacare", then.

Mitch McConnell did that.

[DonViejo]

6. MSNBC just showed Trumpty Dumpty telling the press...

"they have 47 or 48 votes to repeal."

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. risistbot.io fax your rep and senator

tell the GOP you dont want them to kill you

use those words

7. He thought he had the votes before. There's a couple still on the fence.

Paul and Cotton are talking about holding out, but will probably vote for it anyway because it's heartless. With the latest modeling analysis done by several health care entities (Kaiser, etc) ahead of the CBO assessment that show that a lot of "Red States" - Alaska, Arizona, Maine, Ohio, and West Virginia will be on the hook to make up for millions of lost Medicaid dollars over the next ten years, along the return of "pre-existing conditions" pricing, it's not as clear that Collins and Murkowski will fall in line - even if they've said so at the beginning of the week, and Caputo might bolt also.

McConnell is not a Pelosi. He's only "politically savvy" at certain levels - more patiently tactical than actually strategic. He's a dog that chases cars, but doesn't seem to know what to do when he finally catches one.
He doesn't have an ear for what is going on at the state level in his party, so all his wheeling and dealing tends to have only committee positions, Pac and lobbyist money attached to it, rather than actual policy or even pork that Senators can take home to their constituents.

8. I do not think they have the votes right now

they could get them though.

[smirkymonkey]

10. I hope that miserable bastard burns in hell.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. Every GOP voting to kill me should burn in hell. Not just one, but all GOP in house and

Senate unless they say otherwise are voting to kill me.

[smirkymonkey]

16. I am so sorry. I hate them so much for what they are doing.

Are you sick, if you don't mind me asking? What state do you live in? There might still be some hope if you live in a blue state.

[Freethinker65]

11. McConnell will not get burned on this twice

If they do not have the votes, Lindsey will come out and ask the bill be pulled because it needs some minor adjustments and he wants to make it perfect, unlike the rushed through imperfect "Obamacare", or some such bullshit. Hardliners would be pissed, but most would be relieved.

If it comes to a vote, McConnell has bribed enough GOP Senators.

[LeftInTX]

14. I agree

[spanone]

13. they're trying to bullshit it to the finish line....i doubt they have the votes.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

17. So hope you're right... they will rue the day if they pull this shit!!

There will literally be rioting in the streets... it won't be pretty!

[spanone]

18. i hope so too!

[WinkyDink]

15. Nope. That's my bet.

[Old Vet]

19. IMHO, these boys now have the votes.
