If Ryan thinks he doesn't have the votes on TrumpDon'tCare, will he still bring it to the floor?

[Ken Burch]

I wonder if he'd just withdraw the bill to protect everybody in his caucus from voter or Trump retribution?

1. God, I hope he's arrogant enough to bring it regardless. There isn't enough popcorn. EOM

[Wellstone ruled]

2. First he will try

a Consent Voice Vote,and if he gets shot down. They will vote electronically with Ryan using the right to pull the bill for later reconsideration.

3. A delay is better than a lose.

A lose in the house now effectively kills the bill until after the midterms. Might even cost Ryan his Speakership.

4. He'll try twisting arms and Dolt45 will make bullying phone calls

and both of them will threaten to pull primary candidates out of their asses to defeat anyone voting against this turkey.

For us, it's almost a "can't lose" proposition. If they get their way, they'll be a minority in 2018 as people have a full 2 years to realize what voting for Republicans has cost them. If we get our way, the better way, people will keep their insurance and the fat cats will have to look elsewhere for their tax bonanzas.

5. I doubt it, it would be too humiliating

[democratisphere]

6. Hope Ryan votes and fails miserably, then is scuttled by his own party.

[jeanmarc]

7. Let's hope so. Ryan is an amateur.

And he took a bad job. The 'freedom caucus' is going to ruin things.

Love it.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. He won't pull it. The vote will fail. He will put out another version for a vote

at a later date.

[elfin]

9. I now think that as well

He and Trump will keep finding Reps to blame and they will immediately begin trashing them in their own districts and threaten to escalate that tactic and find someone to primary them.

It won't take long. Surprise! New version passes.
