Rep. Long of Missouri (R-Springfield) is a no. Wasn't on any whip list.

Upton voting no gives cover to a lot more members to vote no. He must be afraid of losing reelection, even if most of us think he is fairly safe in his district.

The stupidity of Republicans never ceases to astound.

Yet they have both houses and the Presidency sooooo...
They lucked into both and are apparently set to throw both away with this vote. My point stands.

"Writing their own bill" means they will not touch this one with a ten foot poll. Flake and Heller are probably already freaking out.

Also, in the mere hours that have passed since the House voted, DailyKos has raised nearly $250K for a fund dedicated to the eventual Democratic opponents of the 24 most vulnerable Republican YES voters.

What the House passed was written so as to only consist of stuff that would be considered "budgetary" in nature.

Okay. Thanks.

So in theory the GOP could unilaterally repeal the ACA with 51 votes?

Well, that depends on what the Senate parliamentarian decides in regards to the Byrd rule.
