10. Threats, cash and deadlines

Always obvious.

They were going to pass whatever health care bill happened to be on the table at deadline. Very appropriately a form of Russian Roulette.

The Republicans won't pay a political price. Anyone who believes that is remarkably shortsighted and blunderous towards situational variables.

Trump will continue to call it a great bill, an amazing improvement. He'll have plenty of surrogate liars doing the same. That will be the plastered theme on everything Fox.

By the time the changes happen there will be so many other political developments on the table or in the more recent past that all the same gullible people who fall for lies and vote Republican will still be falling for lies and voting Republican, whether or not they even notice that their health care coverage is far more expensive and much worse.
