WHY are the idiotic Republicans going to the summit with the O on Thursday?

The answer is in your question.

2. Not all of the Senate bill can be passed as a reconciliation item.

The Senate Bill must be passed by the House in full BEFORE reconciliation can take place. Reconciliation (requiring only 51 votes) will then shape the bill to what is acceptable to the house and the president. So the stuff the president wants like price controls will have to be added in reconciliation.

The Republicans should bring the 160 or so amendments that they attempted to get included and then ask the President which of those can we get passed?

Not only does the President not want to start with a blank piece of paper he can’t.
