GOP facing likely failure on ObamaCare repeal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Congressional Republicans are facing the prospect of failing this week — perhaps for a final time — in their bid to repeal ObamaCare.

Senate Republicans have yet to throw in the towel, but it seems more than likely their nine-month odyssey will be unsuccessful, with Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) opposed to the measure and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) leaning strongly against it.

Republicans can lose just two votes and still muscle the bill through the Senate in the face of unanimous Democratic opposition.

They also face a Sept. 30 deadline. After this week, they will lose the ability to use special budgetary rules on ObamaCare repeal that prevent a Democratic filibuster.

GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and Bill Cassidy (La.), aiming to keep their bill alive, made last-minute changes to the legislation over the weekend, including directing more funding toward states of holdout senators.

1. They are not failing. They just got tired of wining. nt

2. Bribes, they added bribes.

I don't trust Rand Paul at all, I think he will end up voting for the monstrosity.

3. They are busy buying votes and will not stop until Oct 1st.

Stay vigilant and NEVER TRUST ANY OF THEM!

McConnell is a vengeful, evil, bastard who will be sure he gets his much needed win. Remember how he got Gorsuch? He is SNEAKY and rotten to the core. All of them have a price and their rich donors want their tax breaks and are pressuring the GOP big time. Cruz, Paul, Collins, McGrandstander And Murkowski can all be bought for the right price. They are the party of selfish greed. This is ALL about $$$$$$$$ and always has been. It was/is NOT about people or health. In fact they probably want fewer poor people around using up all of their food, air, water, etc. They are practicing genocide after 8 months of emotional and mental torture of the ill, poor, young, old, women, etc. THEY are the truly sick ones since they sleep well at night.

RESIST! Peace.
