[Q
I left the Dem party in 1978, hooch.
About to become a former Republican.
Republicans got hired to fix it, and have had since 2009 to craft a good solid bill that thinking people could support.
Epic fail.
I am glad that the RINO bill failed but I would like to respectfully disagree with you on this. Of all the criticism against the Republicans that is the weakest. They had no incentive to do the hard work to replace Obamacare as long as that jackass Obama was President and the Senate had the ability to demand 60 votes. For the last two years almost everybody in this country thought Crooked Hillary was going to win so don't blame them for not having all the ducks in a row. They deserve criticism for being cowards and not coming up with an outright repeal but I don't think they should be accountable for not doing anything in the last seven years.
You are wrong in that this bill is crap because it was all tossed together in the last 2 months. It would have passed if it had been crafted over the past 6 years because it would have worked the kinks out with input from everyone.
My contention was that there was no real incentive to have a good replacement bill as long as that jackass Obama was President and the Senate had the ability to filibuster in the Senate.
If you want to blame the Republicans since 2010 then blame them for not doing the hard job of defunding Obamacare, even if it took shutting down the government.
All we have heard from Republicans for the past 7 years is elect me because I will get rid of Obamacare.
They lied, they had zero intention. Anyone interested in replacing it would have already crafted a replacement bill. They tossed together crap knowing it would fail. They WANTED it to fail.
How do I know they WANTED it to fail?
Not even a peep of discussion about using the Reid option and go nuclear.
