In reply to the discussion: Stunned McConnell blames Democrats after crucial health care loss [View all]lark
(26,085 posts)He didn't include the Dems at any step of this process, didn't even include most of his caucus, only 13 MEN. If he'd have had regular meetings and included Dems, they could have had a better product and it might have passed. Instead, they were totally excluded, no participation allowed and then to complain that they didn't vote for this after all of that, totally shameful and mendacious. Repugs wanted to take all the money away from poor people's health and give it to the rich so they didn't want Dems to participate because that was not part of their mandate or goals. they didn't give a shit about real healthcare, this was just a tax bill with medical aspects (if even that) to most Repugs. If R's had pushed fixing the problems instead of stealing $$, there would have been a different outcome. Only most of them don't give a shit, they are just thieves, and that was the whole point of this exercise, stealing $ from healthcare and gifting it back to the richest .01%..
