the republicans are really really really up about losing the healthcare bill (press conference)

1. They're really pissed off that media is touting it as a FAILURE (which it is) by Republicans. They

are also really pissed off that media aren't blaming Democrats although they tried their damnedest to propagandize that lie.

So now it's all about reputation damage-control.

They don't want to look like the petulant, incompetent LOSERS they've always been.

2. they are now 'more than ever' committed to repealing and replacing....blah blah blah

after seven years, they weren't ready at all.

4. They're only ready to have the American people's short attention span work in their favor.

I have zero doubts they'll try and continue to repeal ObamaCare (those tax cuts to the wealthy are all-important to these American oligarchs!) just like they've been working tirelessly to undermine and do away with Social Security and Medicare since the inception of these earned benefits.

Time is the enemy of American democracy because of the short attention spans of Americans, and a complicit and complacent U.S. media are their allies.

We must remain vigilant.

We need to highlight their attempts to undermine democracy in favor of authoritarian rule and bring out, nurture, and feed the anger in people who will have the energy to hotly protest everything Republicans try to slip under the radar until we take back the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Until such time, everything President Obama and Democrats have worked hard for and sacrificed, is under threat.

As long as Republicans are in majorities, our democracy continues to be under threat of being killed off.

3. 7 years of feigned protest against the ACA

Falls to pieces when the plan's chief architect is now a civilian and impervious to their attacks.

More proof that the Republicans have no business trying to govern.

5. But but but last week taught them

that they're united on shared goals

6. ....as they try to spin shit into gold

m$nbc reported that they made all staffers leave the room for this 'meeting'.
