Trump wants this vote for a reason. Why?

Hoping to blame Ryan even though he has been a huge supporter of this horrible bill.

So he can blame Paul Ryan and the House for not repealing Obamacare.

Trump wants a head count of who he's going to put the boot down on for the rest of his term/upcoming mid-term elections

It's part of his master plan to make Ryan so unpopular he wins his next primary by only 50 points instead of 70

Out the Cucks. It's all for political capitol. He can now say in the mid term that he needs to get rid of some congressmen and needs the senate 60 super majority.

The Republicansame could just be bluffing. Possibly trying to call that bluff, and see if they actually do vote no. I dunno

Pretty simple: put up or shut up.

There have been dozens of votes that everyone knew would never hit Obama's desk and if they did, would never be signed.

Pretty easy to act brave in that scenario for fund-raising and re-election. But now, when there is a real chance for passage of repeal and reform, what are they doing? Trying to prove their 'purity'.

Hell, I heard that there's a couple of Republican Reps in NJ who are crying about voting no because of their Medicaid constituents!?! Are you fricking kidding me?

to have the votes on public record of the individuals who wanted to "keep" obamacare. Trump will use this as marketing.

He wants 100% credit if it passes and 0% of the blame if it doesn't. It's Trump 101. Make them vote and he'll have a list of congressman he'll forever point to when asked why he couldn't get it done. He's already doing it on twitter this morning.

Make them go on record and then beat them with it next year.


With that said I want the bill to go down.

So that he can blame congress for his failure to repeal Obamacare like he promised. It's a bold strategy. At least when Obama complained about congress impeding progress, he was actually talking about the opposition party!

Let him have his vote but if he wants to threaten those who voted against this then he is going to have major problems with his agenda.

If Ryan wanted this bill to pass it could okay.

How do I know this? Because those in charge of committees are in those positions at the Speakers mercy. He can throw any one of them off the good committees. They haven't told the committee members this is a must win situation.
