The TrumpCare comes back from the dead (...and lives!) thread

[KingSweden]

Ah, Trump won NV-02 52-39%. Amodei was a false no. David Young won in a district that backed Trump by just 3 points though which makes me wonder why he flipped. Does he assume Iowa is getting redder?

Beutler is from liberal Washington. But Trump won her district 50-42% so I'm guessing East Washington so she may feel safe to vote yes.

JHB is from SW WA which has its own peculiarities. Lot of dying logging towns and quirky Portland suburbs. Very unique culture compared to rest of state

The vast majority of hard working American middle class families will pay less - that's the only thing that really cares and the reason why I can only smile when reading how bad this will be for the GOP in 2018. Forget about it. Obamacare is a failure, everyone knows it, even Dems in the Debate had to aknowledge that. Opposition to AHCA is only based to the typical media and Dem #FakeNews and hyperboles. As soon as the vast majority of people is seeing that they save money and are better off, the approval will get over 50%.

And now pass that bill! With a bit more than 1 vote...

Pelosi: "it was dead and now it's come back to life, like a zombie!" She must have read this thread haha

What world are you living in? Because this shifts funding to the states again and allows for an opt-out, states that are strapped will take the opt-out shifting higher premium costs to the poor and middle class yet again. Economies of scale, economics, etc really aren't big things for these conservatives, esp the freedom (TP extremist) caucus.

Pass the Bill! Trump wins again!

Still has to pass the Senate. Then reconciliation (which I doubt you knew about until I told you to research it).  I noticed you were awfully quiet until this happened.

Do get 'round to a non 14 year old defense of the bill when you can. I'm sure we're eagerly waiting for your nuanced defense of the law. Something tells me you haven't even researched the law until I asked you about what you knew about healthcare in America.

As I said about Marty a lot of Trumpkins have a poor grasp of policy. Your posts seem to be in line with that.

Also um: Trumpy hasn't had a legislative victory before this one.

Sorry but neither do I take you seriously (after the Macron/LePen nonsense from you in the FRance thread) nor do I take lections from you. In my eyes, you simply have no clue what is going on and I'm by far better informed than you about Reconciliation. But I can wait, won't last long and I was right again. Like in March ;-)

Thanks for repeating Dem nonsense talking points who simply don't make any sense.

The tragical thing is that you haven't read the bill but think you know (and understand) every site in it. Cool down. Don't let yourself be fooled by partisan hecks.

she is SUPER effective.

Remember also, the leadership has the power to keep a vote open for hours as was a popular tactic during the Bush Administration. Expect amusing outrage on the floor when that happens.

So they're saying 217 will vote yes. I anticipate the Senate killing this by making it vastly more moderate and unpalatable to the HFC.

Pelosi is a great tactician but a lousy messager.  Ryan is just the opposite.  If someone could combine their strong points, they'd have a leader who could get anything done.
