Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark): Republicans are gonna "marinate, regroup, and get our mojo again."

Republicans Swear They Will Keep Trying To Repeal Obamacare



“Sometimes these things, if you give ’em time to marinate, we’ll have an opportunity to bring us back together and allow us to regroup and get our mojo again,” said Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.).

That mojo didn’t come back over the last seven years, however, and many Republicans are clearly frustrated.

“Why can’t we do this ... when we have a Republican president?” asked Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) shortly before the bill went down. “It doesn’t make sense.”

come to think of it, "marinate" is an odd choice of word, too.

In your eagerness to win and get big $$ donations you welcomed foaming at the mouth RW extremists into your party and not only let them play but encouraged and helped them to do so. What was once a rather 'lockstep' party has, for the most part, become a party of rapid snowmen (white, cold, clueless & heartless).

OTOH Democrats are looking downright strong, organised and pulled together by comparison so I'm enjoying a blissful moment of schadenfreude.

They will always have extremists and moderates and both want very opposite things.

John Boehner is laughing right now. Bet he is relishing his retirement and so glad he got out when he did.

I could not Haye Paul Ryan anne more than i already do. I hope he gets ousted.

would not pass any healthcare bill because there is no agreement in GOP about it. He was right. And after Ryan stabbed him in the back,I am sure he enjoyed yesterday.

that comes with being unable to get insurance because of pre-existing or just can't afford it...they are on to you and you will never repeal it. Boehner said in 2012...Obamacare is the law of the land...let's make it better. You should have listened.
