GOP pessimism rising on ObamaCare repeal
Senate Republicans are returning to Washington increasingly pessimistic about their plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
Theyve had to put off plans for a vote next week, and theyve seen loyal members either double down on their opposition to the bill, or at least question whether they will back it.
Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas)a no vote that took many in Washington by surprisedistanced himself the closed-door process used to draft the Senate bill.
It takes two parties who want to come together. Not just Republicans. Not just Democrats, he said during a polite, but pointed, meeting with constituents in rural Kansas.
Asked if he could support the bill, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told constituents that I don't know if we're even going to get a bill up, according to the Des Moines Register.
