Time to demolish the Senate phone lines.

Would be a huge political win if it goes through.

Would also be a huge policy win by capping our third largest entitlement program.

You may be right, but leadership said they weren't going to move on it unless the votes were "ironclad" or whatever. So, if nothing else, this is interesting.

How are #MAGA posters feeling about this version?

I have always ranked this last among my Trump "promises" and don't really like any of these healthcare bills - I'd have favoured straight repeal to bring us back to 2011. Do fellow #MAGA baws agree?

I think it's stupid politically to tie the GOP to any shite bill like this.

But I will enjoy the left's melt.

So I'm kind of "meh" and just wanted to see where everybody else is.

We're more likely to end up with single payer if it passes than if it doesn't.

Total repeal is the only thing I favor.

Yeah same. I don't see why that's so hard - its like GOP senators have vaginas instead of testicles.

If you straight repeal it you'd show the Healthcare and Insurance lobby that you mean business and it would be possible to start anew and give them a less favourable deal.

If you pass this shite they come out even further ahead.

Per Split, Paul to vote for the bill in massive upset and shock to Democrats. The Tide turns in the Trump Presidency. Taxes are cued up for change. 2018 will be about immigration and his wall.

McConnell must think he has the votes or he wouldn't bring this to the floor for another embarrassing defeat, right?

And infrastructure.

I'm kind of ashamed to say the reason why I'm not adamantly opposed to this version as I was to Ryan's previous "cuckcare" version is that all the snarky liberals gloated for 2 months about how retarded Trump is and how he couldn't get anything done.

It will be sweet revenge on them to see him get this "win", even though I hate the bill.
