American ISIS had their fee fees hurt by the three republicans who refused to throw 30 million

people off their healthcare. Why is the media still playing it like a horse race? Republicans control both branches. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact they locked 13 men in a room to write it, held no hearings, failed to allow time for a CBO score and revealed the bill 2 hours before a vote.

They control *2* branches - the executive and both chambers of the legislative. They don't control the judiciary - yet. It might seem pedantic, but I think it's an important distinction.

Yes, though, I agree with everything else you wrote!
