Freedom Caucus is a little batshit crazy. But sometimes we need that.

The one truly bipartisan thing we have in this country is the hatred for Ryancare/Trumpcare.

its never been close. to get it through the house, it dies in the senate.

The goal may be to get it through the house so they dump this problem on mcconnel, but this bill will not reach trump's desk in its present form.

Exactly. If they cave to the far right wingers in the house it is DOA in the Senate. At this point they are simply setting up a scapegoat.

I've not seen anyone outside of DC that is in support of this thing. I can't even recall anyone on here that is in favor of it. The only thing I've seen is people accepting it might have to be 3 phase deal.

They'll never get to phase 2 or 3 if it's a 3 phase deal. Everyone knows this because those rhino pieces of shite have no intentions of fully repealing Obamacare.

Exactly my point and that's why it won't pass the house in it's current form. If they make the changes necessary to get the support of the far right then it will have 0 chance in the Senate.

I think we agree here.

This, but we're not Charlie Brown. We're not going to try and kick that ball knowing Lucy's just going to pull it away when it comes down to make the needed phase changes. We've seen this movie before,

I'm glad that it looks like people realize that phase 2 and 3 are pure fantasy that will never happen.

I have to say I'm impressed that the Reps in Congress haven't just got in line and blindly supported this bill like the dems did with Obamacare.

So our only choices are shite soup or a shite sandwich?

If they can't come up with anything better than Ryancare then they just need to wait out the ACA until it folds and they will be able to push something real through.

The issue is completely politicized. There is no bill, none whatsoever, that can pass.

This bill stinks but the next one will be worse. No "freedom caucus" bill can pass either chamber.

As I said, this bill not great but Ryan is right to say this is the best they can do and they are not likely to get another chance.
