The first 100 days are usually as good as it gets!

For us, that would be a resignation - but we'll take , "I'm so sick of losing ."

I want the RepubliCONs on record with their vote, so it can be used against them in the 2018 election.

Since idiot Drumpf put his personal negotiation skills on the line, so sweet to see him lose. And it's for such a good cause too, that just makes it even sweeter. What a freaking moran!

Suck it, Trump. Suck it, Ayn Ryan. Suck it, Tea Party.

Either way, you'll keep digging your graves.

When a bill doesn't have enough votes, it isn't brought to the floor and voted on. This was LBJ's way when he was in the Senate. It seems to have been followed in both the House and Senate after that. I can't imagine Ryan wanting to be defeated by the vote.

Dems need to step up, fill the gap and start talking about single payer. Now is the perfect time because constituents are in a place where they might listen AND they've had a taste of what it feels like to be insured and they do not want to go back to the way it was before the ACA. Put the lousy rethugs on the defensive and let them pee their pants over this.
