        So, it doesn't pass Trump is walking, right? And that means that the GOP gets to hear about Health Care next election cycle over and over and over again. Good.

            It seems the more the Freedom Caucus gets the less the moderates want to vote for it.

            Found it.

            In one stunning defection Friday, Appropriations Committee Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.) announced at midday that the health care bill is “currently unacceptable” and that changes made late Thursday to placate conservatives “raise serious coverage and cost issues.”

              Well that one Rep said if the bill cant pass it shows they are the party of obstruction but that they cannot get anything done...so it looks like the GOP is in the midst of an existential crisis

                I doubt MSNBC had a hard count, and I doubt any of the GOP leadership were sharing that information. They probably got enough on record no statements plus some margin to make sure they didn't get egg on their face and then ran with it.

                How did Fox play this story? Was it "nothing to see here, now look at these cute pandas!" or was it "despite yeoman efforts by brave conservatives the DEMON-crats have ignored the will of the people"?

                In general, how does the Noise Machine break down now that the split has become a Mexican Standoff (Trump vs FC vs RNC)? Are they eliding the differences or have they chosen sides (it's Hannitty who crawled up Trump's rectum and lives there now, right?)

                  Barbara Comstock says she's voting against TrumpCare: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...=.e8c2a6c3c976

                  I don't know if she's necessarily a moderate per se, but she's in a district with enough of NoVa that she needs to be careful. My mom's in her district and said her initial newsletters were talking about how great TrumpCare is and how it was the solution to all of the world's problems. People (including my mom) deluged her office with calls against it, and a few days ago she said she was rethinking her stance; now she's a NO.

                      7 years and not only don't they have any ideas but they can't even come together to kill Planned Parenthood and give the rich their tax breaks. Wow.

                          It is funny. For 7 years, they've been screaming about repealing Obamacare, and during that entire time, they couldn't even do the least little bit of work to at least have a workable framework of a replacement ready to go. Lazy, cynical, or just plain negligent?

                            I would have thought straight repeal, kill Planned Parenthood would have been enough. That destroys all the tax increases in Obamacare and gets rid of abortions. It hits all the high points and eliminates a theoretical entitlement. And they have the votes for that.

                            It must mean that some Republicans are actually nervous over those silly people in their districts who "claim" that Obamacare saved their lives. Like that's true.

                              Now let's see if Trump makes good on his threat to keep ObamaCare in place if the bill fails. Or is this technically not a failure since they didn't vote?

                                I think they'll go for complete ignoring of reality. The bill was voted on, it has passed 700-0!
