Immediately following the President giving the closest thing to a Hitler Youth speech to the BSA, and that same President pushing his AG to jail his political opponent, as a reward to the same President.
Republicans allow this to happen because they want this to happen!
Not just the repeal of the ACA, but also the youth indoctrination along with harassing and jailing liberals.

(8,419 posts)They will still have to come up with a final bill and vote on that. They will need to keep all 50 Repuke Senators happy, which is far from a given.
And yes McCain voted yes.

(26,229 posts)They need to keep them somewhat happy so what they are probably doing is trying to figure out which Repugnant among them can afford to take the bullet the most without really risking their seat by voting no to repeal and which can survive a nutjob from their party running for the nomination in their state.

(2,175 posts)And we need to be ready to repel and defend against any other "warfare" the Right- Wing Republican traitors want to start.
And it's also time to end the bullshit of Tea Party, alt-right, regular conservatives, etc. They ALL fall under Republicans and until "sane" Republicans wake up to what this current fascist criminal cabal in the White House is all about, they are as guilty and enabling as the RWNJ's are.

(45,380 posts)anything negative that happens in healthcare must be tied to them so they can lose the election. Everyone in the senate and house, and anywhere else.
And of course all of Trump's countless evils must be tied to them because they voted for his stuff.

(19,948 posts)their hard RWNJs like Jordan when they say "We promised to Repeal & Replace Obamacare". I would have thought there was a VERY easy answer to that, which is,
"Yes, we promised to Repeal & Replace Obamacare, but everyone of my voters expected us to replace it with something BETTER, not something that will deny healthcare to 22m people AND gut Medicaid. THAT is not what they wanted from us".
It's odd none have them have fought back on that....maybe Collins has come somewhat close to it but not too close.
