What will republicans do first?

Seems you might be that person.

ummm..... the mandate is from Heritage Foundation. Anything else?

liar... one dumb ass at the HF is not the HF. That's like saying Clinton raped one woman, so all democrats are rapists.

At that time, the Republicans embraced the mandate.

Nonsense.

Bullshit!
The GOP and especially CON$ervatives embraced the individual mandate totally as the Constitutional alternate to Hillarycare's employer mandate.

The concept that people should be required to buy health coverage was fleshed out more than two decades ago by a number of conservative economists, embraced by scholars at conservative research groups, including the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute, and championed, for a time, by Republicans in the Senate.

The individual mandate, as it is known, was seen then as a conservative alternative to some of the health care approaches favored by liberals — like creating a national health service or requiring employers to provide health coverage.

“In 1993, in fighting ‘Hillarycare,’ virtually every conservative saw the mandate as a less dangerous future than what Hillary was trying to do,” Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, said at a debate in December, casting his past support of a mandate as an antidote to the health care overhaul proposed by Hillary Rodham Clinton during her husband’s administration.

Since then the politics of health care have grown more twisted and tangled than the two snakes entwined around the staff in a caduceus, which is sometimes used as a symbol of medicine. It is now Republicans and conservatives who oppose the individual mandate, arguing that it is unconstitutional, while Democrats, who were long resistant to it, are its biggest defenders.

You are full of shit. Completely out of your fucking mind.

Congressional republicans can either disregard the TPM and other extremists, compromise with Congressional democrats, and work with the WH to enact sound, meaningful legislation for the benefit of the American people, or pursue their reckless, unwarranted agenda predicated on failed conservative dogma.

Given the past six years of republican partisanism and the GOP's unfounded animosity toward the president, the greater likelihood is republicans will select the latter.

obama's Progressive policy has been soundly rejected by the People. The GOP now controls Congress. It is time for the POTUS to compromise with Congressional Republicans.


Unfounded animosity? Really? Governing by fiat? Forcing an unamerican abortion of a healthcare bill down our throats with a procedural move? Scandals at IRS and Justice? Unfounded, Really?

Going against their track record, i think Repubs might try to work w/ the President on a bill or two because I think they know that the people that bother to vote will hold them accountable in '16. McConnell remembers all too well what happened when this great nation was on "Cruz control".
