Skinny Repeal
Free Republic ^ | 07/28/2017

Posted on 07/28/2017 8:57:39 AM PDT by Trump20162020

If John McCain dies, and Arizona's GOP Governor appoints a replacement, can there be another vote on the partial Obamacare repeal?

Asking for a friend.

Yes. But then, Heller would vote no.

Obviously the first thing we’re going to have to do is repeal a handful of Republican senators.

If McCain was not there to vote against us, Graham would have done it, or any of a number of other GOPe / RINO / rat-lites.

McIsane was choosen because he has just been reelected and has cancer. But if need be any of a number of big government liberal Republicans would stepped up. Corkhole, Portman, Heller, LindaG, pick one.

Again, tell me why I should waste my time voting period at this point for any Republican. They behave like 1970’s democrats.

Promise made: We will repeal nobamacare.

Result: LIARS surface once again.

What absolute traitors to their electorate.

I’ll throw my money into the street or burn it in a fire before I ever give one penny to these gop bums.

Why do you want a do-over on a POS that would turn Obamacare into Republican-care?

Let it fail and the failure will be on Obama and the Dems.

Trump has many options now and is fully justified in exercising them on behalf of the American people.

Yep. They don't want to repeal it. McConnel set it knowing full well that most would have political cover. Everyone gets to look like they're all for repeal but those pesky few Republicans...gee...THEY'RE the ones holding it up.

This has been the Republican parties strategy for decades to get re-elected. APPEAL to conservatives but don't actually do anything conservative.

Elect a republican house and then...

Elect a republican senate and then...

Elect a republican President and then...

Ooops...elect DIFFERENT republicans and then...

There are 6 other candidates to vote 'no' if McCain doesn't. Trump should force Congress and staff to live under Obamacare since they seem to love it so much.

Is there a way to force Congress to give up their preferential health care?

The kabuki theatre repeal play can boast of two significant accomplishments:

1) Lying RINOs have been exposed.

2) The DIMS still own Obamacare lock, stock, and barrel.

We need to replace a bunch of republicans (and democrats) in Congress first. This won't help, but it will make us feel better.

What will really work is to get our own PACs, and our own lobbyists. Congress does what it is paid to do, and nothing else. If we get the money on our side, then they will listen.

It won't help. Last year we were told if they only had a majority they would fulfill their campaign promises. Surprise! The coup found just enough traitors to stop any change in ObamaCare. If there were more "Republican" Senators, just enough more coup members would step forward and vote down any change.

There was no serious discussion about stopping their deep-pocket donors from reaping obscene profits from "health care". Unless that happens, "health care" costs cannot be controlled. That's how we know this whole "reform" fiasco is a farce, across the political spectrum.

There’s probably 2-5 other senators who would vote no if they had to keep this from passing. They just rotate who the bad guy is to ward off primary challenges.

It’s not clear. There may be weak sisters who voted for the skinny bill knowing that McCain would repeal it.

BUT if there are any, we should expose them. When McCain is replace, we should re-do the skinny repeal vote. Exposing the traitors among us is informative.

ALSO there’s 2018. We ABSOLUTELY must win the winnable Senate races. This means:

Top tier opportunities (where Trump won big): IN, MO, MT, ND, OH and WV
Second tier opportunities (where Trump won small): FL, MI, PA and WI
Third tier opportunities (where Trump lost small): ME, MN and VA

I count enough possibilities to get to 61 votes even writing off the transpartisans Lisa and Susan.
