Repeal and replace Obamacare is going to look an awful lot like reform and revise Obamacare pretty soon.

I hate the bill but antagonizing people with your vote and you may not have a good lay of the voting land...bad fricking idea.

Voters who are unhappy with his vote won't forget. He may have just had a Mary landrieu moment

Congress is starting to reflect their leader more and more. Whether they agree with him or not.

Such tactful, shining examples for their like minded constituents.

He won his last election by 30 points. Pretty sure his seat is safe.

I like his vote, but spiking the football is a stupid idea regardless of how safe your seat may be.

Landrieu was a 20 year senator, I think Obamacare vote was one thing, but her stupid little "they can vote me out" line bet she wishes she had that one back.

there are no shortage of republicans in Kentucky which voted in huge numbers for trump. a simple no vote will do the trick. tweeting that out is stupid.

A ton of those Republicans agree with him that the bill is a POS

nothing is nuanced for some people. I wonder what the percentage is of people who vote for their congressman but have no fricking clue who the guy is...i'd venture to day it's not insignificant.

that he won his seat by 30 makes his tweet even dumber. why make waves when you're coasting on smooth waters?

I say this as someone who doesn't want that shite to pass.

by all means tell me what percentage.

this is split within the party. people who want it to pass can vote for another republican. he beat a democrat by 30 points.

I wouldn't have a problem with that as long as they fix the mess the Dems forced upon the country.

REPEAL and call it a day. No need for a replacement.

Because he voted against a bill that has lower approval and support than the ACA?

Hell, GOP Primary voters are more conservative than the average voter they probably hate Trumpcare even more.

Also he's from Kentucky-- this might actually help him with both conservatives and moderates-- the Medicaid Expansion is massive in the Bluegrass state.

This has a weird split within the party. Vote no, but don't spike it with self assurance. Republicans of all stripes have been surprised by republican voters since the trump phenom started. I just think it's dumb to feel confident about something like this.

Massie is awesome. I don't doubt that this will increase his support.
