AHCA Whip Count

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that, if a vote is actually held tonight, there will be less than 200 votes in favor. Once it's obviously failing, many moderates and far-right conservatives who aren't speaking up now will abandon the bill.

This is beautiful.

Ryan should probably step down. How can Republicans in Congress be expected to respect and follow a man that does something like that?

simple question ...which is also an answer......who else would want to do that job?

I'm not even certain the Republicans would be capable of electing a replacement Speaker. The Freedom Caucus might demand one of their own, and, without the Freedom Caucus, the Republicans don't have a majority.
