Would passing the Republican Death Act of 2017 be such bad thing?

The worst of it is designed to kick in after 2018 and it could give the Democrats the momentum to take both houses in the 2018 mid-terms and then they could reinstate Obamacare.

It would be very bad for a Republican to run for reelection having voted for it.

Remember, Vlad is going to work with Kobach and others to prevent millions of votes being cast or counted.

Add to that the brain dead assholes who vote for their own literal demise no matter how much information you give them.

And, to top off the cocktail of destruction, the millions of ALLEGED progressives who wont vote at all or vote 3rd party.

My wife and custodial grandson are on Medicare. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that the reps have declared war on my family. And I do not think talking to them will help. They need to be voted out. The alternative is awful.

Russian roulette is always an easier game when it's someone else's turn.

back to your question: Yes, it would be such a bad thing, because it's no more guaranteed that we'll take both houses in 2018 than it was that Hillary would be sworn into office in 2017.
