Skinny or not......get the damn Obamacare off the books.....! Treat Medicaid separately or.....
āReplaceā has become too much. Republicans should shoot for a simple repeal, and deal with the thorny issues of Medicaid reform in a later bill. But if the price of the holdouts is to retain the Medicaid expansion, then retain the expansion. And if the holdouts are concerned about the uninsurable enrollees in the subsidy program, then throw the truly desperate with pre-existing conditions into Medicaid. But thatās it; the rest of Obamacare must go, because itās rotten to the core.
If Republicans canāt get something done on Obamacare this year, their leadership in Congress should be replaced, and repeal holdouts should be āprimariedā with challengers who will clean their clocks in the primaries of 2018.

This is a MAJOR fail for the Repubs. Skinny is NOWHERE NEAR repeal. It's an attempt to save it.
And they had SEVEN F'ing YEARS to formulate a plan. TOLD US -- they had one. And they did Jack Crap..
They are toast. Both Brand Name parties are taking us down the crapper. There's gonna be NEW Leadership and it ain't gonna come from EITHER party. Because EVERYONE in Congress is useless -- except for the 4 party bosses. 500 of them ---- might as well NOT be there. Can't speak out or they pummeled. Especially in the Dem camp.
Need Indies and 3rd Parties.. And stop voting "winners".. America needs to vote for competence and leadership to survive right now --- not more "winning".. The WINNING is killing my country....
Right now we need a 3rd political party in Congress with enough seats to force the major parties to deal with them. Never mind the WH, that's for much later down the road, IMHO the major obstacle these days is the Legislative Branch of gov't. Only way I see to fix that is enough people in enough places voting in some Independent people so that the other 2 parties do not have a majority. Will that happen? Probably not, but I'm not seeing any other solution on the horizon.
Absolutely.. Nothing in Congress gets done unless the 4 party say it gets done. A lot of the "rules" that are not Constitutional Mandates -- need to change. So members can't be blackmailed or primaried out of their next election for disobedience.
These fully partisan votes are just the MAFIA DISCIPLINE of the tribal confrontation. SHOULD be Dems that actually want to separate MediCaid from O-Care so it can be done right. But leadership won't ALLOW "original thought".. You'd be working your Congress seat out of broom closet -- if you made suggestions to "help" the Repubs..
All you "winners" better be expecting more of this winning. Because 2 parties are having a death match and taking you down with them.
Well, I would have stuck to voting for Gary, but he totally screwed up by not doing his homework, being unprepared for the tougher questions. You would have thought he would have his shit together but he didn't, and that blew his chances at competing with The Hillbag or the Trumpster. The libertarians NEED to do a better job.
