Trump: WE HAVE THE VOTES FOR TRUMPCARE! Just not this week. SAD! But hey...MAGA.

With one Yes vote in hospital & very positive signs from Alaska and two others (McCain is out), we have the HCare Vote, but not for Friday!

We will have the votes for Healthcare but not for the reconciliation deadline of Friday, after which we need 60. Get rid of Filibuster Rule!

It's pathetic...they can't hit the number for a "reconciliation" vote, but after that window of opportunity passes, they WILL have the required number of "regular" votes, because...um, well...MAGA!

The same courage, determination and integrity that guarantees a big, beautiful, transparent, solar-powered wall that Mexico will pay for is GUARANTEED to deliver TrumpCare.

Just not by Friday.

If a simple majority with no allowance for filibuster would be deemed acceptable for passage of Senate legislation, then the same rationale should be applied to the popular vote for president. Get rid of the electoral college, once and for all.

That the GOP leadership is sighing in relief at not having to own an ACA repeal a year out from 2018?

Maybe they have told him, and perhaps this is just a typical Trump tease/face-saving.
