As has been mentioned previously, this Senate turd doesn’t have the votes in the house. Also, on Foxnews last night (a reporter for the Hill who I can’t remember her name) said very emphatically that there is no way for the Democrats to do this vis a vis reconcilliation.

This was discussed in November and they concluded back then it was impossible. She is not an idealogue or opinion columnist but a pretty fair reporter so I take her word for it. She is perplexed why they keep bringing it up other than a ploy to try to get Republican support for the current bills.

This does appear to be the case. That and it's the only way to string along their own base that maybe they are going to find a way to cram down Obamacare after all.

I see no reality to this blather, only political theater. What a colossal waste of time. OTOH, see my tagline.

That was A.B. Stoddard from The Hill, I believe.
