He's not my guy but god bless him, nobody can spit fire over health care and tax cuts like he can. ❤️

I pity the decent folk who have to count on such a man to represent them. Tom Cole sounds like the type who would out talk a dying person's last request.
Geeze, how pathetic.

(41,963 posts)I'm happy to appreciate where someone is in the perfect niche. Oddly I'd forgotten that he'd likely blow a gasket.

(6,474 posts)there never has been on a single day since Obama got elected. He spent 6 years criticizing the reality Obama and Clinton faced and now he's upset we've taken 2 big steps back. Reality sucks

(8,554 posts)Reality is, nobody gets anywhere in Congress without overwhelming support from active constituents. Angry, active constituents!

(8,554 posts)of republicans were polled at wanting some sort of federal healthcare plan that didn't have out-of-pocket costs...when the poll came out, Trump bought a clue and suddenly began howling about dumping the ACA (which those same pollees also hated) and lying thru his teeth about giving people something better.
After what has gone down today, I would expect the numbers of any future polls to steadily lean toward preferring a reliable single-payer Medicare-for-all plan instead of the status quo corporate bullshit our nation got handed by the Rethugs this afternoon. And as individual blue states, like here on the West Coast, eventually get better medical care, there won't be much DC politicians or insurance lobbyists will be able to do, as far as public sentiment goes. We had wonderful protest marches out here this Winter and Spring; people are clamoring to get out from under deductibles and co-pays to have actual health care instead of impossible health insurance.

(6,474 posts)we have forfeited 40 years of campaign finance limitations because voters on the liberal side of the political spectrum have failed to support their natural candidate or even show up to vote which has resulted in repeal or negative SCOTUS precedent overturning decades of campaign finance gains. 1 step forward is immeasurably better than 2 steps back. The Democratic/Liberal majority in this country is now seeing 2 steps back in just about every important political gain we have achieved in decades-and now we blew our chances to take majority control over the SCOTUS-a generational loss with the newest justice 49 years old and a very young Chief Justice.

(624 posts)Dems have actually won the presidency ever since Bill Clinton. Republicans are evil geniuses when it come to stealing elections. But Dems don't make election fraud an issue.
And Sanders proved you don't need big corporate money to pay for campaigns. And Dems seem not to play the 50-state strategy. I think 'voters' need to see where the people they put into office actually fight for our Dem policies and issues. I mean really fight for them and enact good legislation helping the American people.

(8,554 posts)Holy Camole, what a devious doofus that rep Tom Cole is!
He says that they know the CBO score is coming, ergo, legislatively, the time to move is now?
WTF! Get it done quick now boys, so our man Price won't have to claim that the Congressional Budget Office can't do the math? (again!)

Thanks for sharing that! The Senator Sanders segment was great!

(57,349 posts)I'm glad our senators are putting on a united front and we need to make sure that we don't let up either. More rallies, more town halls, more protests!
