Two republican senators have already said they will not support a repeal without a replace, so that leaves 49 R to 50. Ohio, Nevada most likely are not going for repeal only, so what is McConnel up to?

(9,213 posts)He knows he doesn't have the votes and the August break is just days away....doesn't make any sense to do a vote on this now....
Unless Trump ordered him to as a distraction for something else coming out next week. Just speculation obviously but this isnt my first dog and pony show with these clowns and shit has been heating up, every hour it seems.

Time to hit the media with why they haven't put more out about how McConnell would not allow the information about Russia and our election get out. WE need to focus more attention on McConnell and his un-American behaviors and his obstruction to getting more good jobs to the middle class when Obama was President. Weaken the leaders and the soldiers will follow.
