I'm afraid the repeal will not fail. Picture Medicare Part D years ago.

The GOP kept the debate open into the wee hours -- against all rules of Congress -- as they bribed and lied and cajoled and threatened, until enough weasels signed on to the non-funded bill which helped bankrupt America.

I don't think tonight will be much different. Reps will have their futures threatened, their offices taken away, their committee positions eliminated...they are shameless, and are more concerned with protecting a "win" for the party over the right thing for the country.

1. I stayed up damn near ALL night for that Medicare Part D vote.......

2. If they pass it the Koch brothers won't back them

Their constituents won't vote for them. It will suck big time but it will be a huge opportunity for the Dems to get the votes.

3. it depends on whether insurance companies like it

And will reward them for doing it.

4. They have failed at EVERYTHING so far, and their boss is about to be indicted.

They're not going to let this opportunity pass. Lots of people will be threatened. Blackmail and bribery is happening as we speak. This is wicked high stakes for Paul Ryan and Mr. Art of The Deal. If the orange shit-gibbon can't get an Obama repeal past his own party, it is his Trump Taj Mahal of legislation...and it's only been two month. His ego will not allow this to fail.

5. I stayed on DU into the wee hours of the morning

while also watching CSPAN. Couldn't believe what was happening. It must have been 3:00 AM when it finally passed.
