Passed by 4 votes. Now on to the Senate, where it will be promptly swatted down.

Meaning it has to overcome the filibuster, and right now Senate Republicans are pissed at the house for handing this to them, so don't expect them to go nuclear over it.

They are acting like they just won WW2 and WW3 without losing anything but they are barely 1/3 of the way through. After the Senate votes the House will vote again. The only way they will be able to push it through is if the Senate doesn't change much and does everything really fast before how terrible it is comes out like the House did. The actual cost of the subsidies required to cover the high risk pools will ruin it before it goes anywhere.

Typical GiP doom and gloom aside, I doubt it'll ever make it through the Senate. What this did accomplish is give Democratic candidates in swing districts plenty of ammunition.

They already have plenty as it is. On the way to work this morning, I passed a bunch of seniors protesting Erik Paulson's vote for this piece of trash. Come November he can probably kiss his seat goodbye.

The senate is apparently drafting their own bill, but I have no doubt that it passes. They will kill the filibuster if they cannot get a deficit neutral plan for reconciliation.

Even Yurtle the Turtle has no interest in getting rid of the filibuster for anything else and he would have a hard time getting support to do so. Then the Senate bill would have to be voted on in the House before it goes to Trump. They would have to do it under reconciliation and that's going to be quite a stretch.

I really enjoy how Trump is trying to say that walls built by Bush and funded to be repaired by Obama, are actually walls he built.

There's no reason to believe that McConnel won't nuke the filibuster if that's the only way this can pass. There's zero reason for republicans to keep it and just if you think they give a gently caress about decorum.

At this point, I wouldn't be suprised at all if the US sees an uptick in political violence if this poo poo passes. Someone at some point is going to crack, be it a parent who loses their kid or someone who loses their spouse to this repeal. But it's going to happen.

To do that he needs every GOP vote he has and it's not there. The Senate also has a different ideological makeup from the House as it is a little harder to gerrymander and isnt nearly as extreme. He said he had no interest in getting rid of the filibuster like 2 days ago as it is. He also has said there is no rush to push it through and he is not going to skirt the rules. I'm not saying this is all impossible, just that Republican senators aren't as amped to bulldoze a piece of poo poo through just because Trump.

Neither party wants the senate to turn into the house.

They have a 3 vote majority, and getting rid of the filibuster would reduce senators to highly paid representatives. They all benefit from wielding the power of the filibuster.

Well in that case may I recommend the Maxim 9, for direct pickup from your favorite local firearms store, after the HPA passes....might as well find one gold nugget in that otherwise massive pile of poo poo.
