    Yeah I know...the problem is if the CBO report comes out and isnt a vast improvement I am not sure they can pass it through Reconciliation because of the debt issue. (The Byrd Rule) That is what I am saying...they either pass it now or they probably dont pass it at all.

    As of now they dont have the 51 votes to pass it anyways. Too many defections.

        I dunno...if any Senator is up for re-election they are signing their own death warrant.

          They're all Democrats.There's a Republican senator in Nevada but the rest are in states that are blood red. The upcoming midterm is so bad for Democratic control of the Senate that an absolute best case would be a 50-50 split. They crapped themselves last November in the Senate.

            The Byrd Rule is only a rule. Mitch can change it if he wants. It would be a terrible idea for the GOP to do that, but he could and this is a Brave New World.

                Me neither. At this point, there are some Republicans whom I wouldn't throw water on if they were on fire. Such is America in the 21st century. SAD.

                  are there ANY? I certainly wouldn't **** on any of the current republican members of congress if they were on fire. The last Republican I had any respect for was Jon Huntsman, and that went out the window when he endorsed Trump during the campaign.

                      Evan McMullin is a decent guy, though I know he's technically an "independent" since last year. I don't agree with most of his positions, but he's consistent and mature in his criticism of Trump.

                          I think I need to start asking, "Do I respect this Republican solely because he opposes Trump? Does this person do good (not well, good) besides his or her opposition?"

                            maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

                            I think he gave a sort of reluctant endorsement e.g. "It's time to rally around the presumptive nominee", but now that I think about it more I think then he did say he should drop out of the race after grab em by the ***** gate.

                              I'm sorry, but that still doesn't cut it. A noodledick endorsement of him is still an enabling action.

                              He was a known commodity even before grabgate.

                                So the House still hasn't sent their omnishambles health care bill over to the Senate yet, and may have to re-vote on it. Yes, please. Attach as many 'yea' votes onto the GOP for this disaster as possible. https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...re-repeal-bill
