...but I kind of hope it passes through the senate as is. Before you rip my head off, let me explain:

We need a catalyst for the Trump base implosion. Given that Trump and the GOP are already sabotaging Obamacare, why wait? Let it erode immediately. The fallout may (could, hopefully will) mean that The Resistance will grow.

But if we remain as is with Obamacare being chipped away at by the GOP, Trump's base may never get it. Of course, it can be argued they may never "get it" about anything, but we have to try and reach the disenfranchised idiot.

In my opinion, idiots welcomed in our resistance club - once they've seen the light! The more the merrier as America may actually have to fight a coup in the near future. We need all on board. If they still have their Obamacare, they may be less inclined to turn on the greedy, evil Ryan, et al.

Bring it, I say.
