.@ChrisMurphyCT explains how the #SkinnyRepeal bill that Senate GOP doesn't want to become law...will become law. A must watch.

More recently he tweets this:



Senate packs repeal bill w conservative priorities + Trump says he loves bill + House readies w martial law = THERE WILL BE NO CONFERENCE

I respect him more and more every time I hear him speak. His passion is what every rep in Congress should have every day they are in office.

What happened to the Graham/Cassidy bill that was going to be voted on after the skinny bill if the skinny bill was rejected? How in the hell am I supposed to call 17 senators a day and sound like I know what I am talking about if they keep changing their "plan" every 2 seconds?

and then the house will pass it as is with no conference and of course benedict donald will sign it.

so then we'll have a law the public doesn't want, democrats don't want, and even a few republicans who gave it the deciding vote don't want.

in a functioning democracy there would be hell to pay for this sort of thing, but instead this is america 2017....
