I'm Confused - Trump Says They Have The Votes For Healthcare.....

[global1]

says - they'll do this early next year. Keeps talking about a Senator in the hospital that's a 'yes' vote. Is he referring to McCain? or somebody else? McCain is a definate 'no' - unless it is put through in regular order. And I thought next year they are going to have to have 60 votes and it is subject to a filibuster.

What the hell is he talking about?

1. Save face, lie, obfuscate. Our President never tells the truth and I mean NEVER

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. After Friday they can't use reconciliation so 60 votes are required.

Trump hasn't the faintest idea how these things work. Or a lot of other things, for that matter.

7. Yep.. He was referring to Thad Cochran..

Who is ill.....but not in Hosp. He's a counted Yes Vote Anyway!

[karynnj]

21. Weird unless Trump thought he could get Paul or Collins or McCain - though all clearly said no

or if he thought he could get one Democrat, but they gave up because Cochran was not going to there this week.

[janterry]

3. He's an idiot

That said, I think he hopes that McCain retires (or dies)

[global1]

11. If McCain Retires (Or Dies) What Is The Process For Replacing Him....

Didn't McCain just win a 6 year term in 2016? Does the Governor of Arizona replace him? Or does McCain himself pass on the seat to either his wife or daughter? What is the process?

[janterry]

13. Appointment by Gov.

The governor must appoint a replacement from the party that the former senator belonged (so, repub)

[global1]

18. So Is The Arizona Governor Beholding To Trump?....

Will he/she give Trump the Senator that Trump and the Repugs need to pass their repeal and replace? Or will the Governor appoint someone that has the same ideals as McCain?

[busterbrown]

4. Senator Cochran...

But He's a Freaking Yes Vote Anyway... He's nuts.

He doesn't have a clue..

[underpants]

10. Yeah it's Cochran. He's not in a hospital either

Apparently it's Sen. Cochran (Miss.) who is recuperating at home not in a hospital
Let's see two headlines

5. His aura of failure has a serious stench of desperation, right about now

He's doing and saying anything he can think of to salvage what he thinks is his sterling reputation. He is delusional and need a thorough neurological exam.

[global1]

8. Do His People In The WH Just Fill His Head With Nice Things So They Can Send Him Out In A Good....

mood? Are they just pacifying him so that they can get him out of their hair?

[Siwsan]

14. I am among the people who believe he is suffering from a form of dementia, so who knows

My Mom would come up with some really 'WTF???' notions, during her last year, or so.

[yallerdawg]

6. He is taunting McConnell.

Says he has the votes now but the stupid "filibuster rule" of 60 votes is stopping them.

When for the last 9 months they only needed 50. Just a bullshit taunt.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Dotard J. Trump should know better than to taunt The Turtle.

McConnell is a right asshole, but he's smarter than Trump.

12. Why are you trying to believe what a serial liar says out loud? You know better than that. nt

[unc70]

15. There are a couple of GOP NO votes in reserve

There are a couple of more potential NO votes in reserve. Under duress, these moderate Repubs would reluctantly cast the “deciding vote” needed to kill repeal. Those who went public this time were in strongest political position. I doubt Trump has any idea how the Senate really works.

[FiveGoodMen]

16. With or without Trump, the GOP will never relent in their efforts to screw America

They are not people with different points of view.

They are Nazis from hell.

They want all the power for themselves and their rich friends.

They would steal a stale slice of bread from the mouth of a homeless person just so that they can be sure no one else has anything.

We should be fighting a war against them.

[asiliveandbreathe]

17. Dotard also mentioned Murkowski AK - her statement - NO, he doesn't have her vote

yet....she likes the aspect of states deciding what to do with funds..(I certainly don't) - that is just part of this dastardly nohealthcare bill - too bad no one is mentioning the loss of coverage for pre-existing conditions..except Dems....

Here is her statement 21 hours ago..

What a liar...everyday in everyway...a liar.....

[TEB]

19. It's kind of like their remodeling sections of the wall

So he is just a chronic bullshit liar

[Thrill]

20. Hes a compulsive liar

22. Filibuster change is the next step

On the road to fascism
