Crow Jane posted:Wouldn't that backfire, though? I'd imagine voting against this poo poo bill would actually make them look better to their constituents People who like the ACA are less likely to vote in Republican primaries than crazyass MAGA morons. The president also fully intends to attack moderate members of his own party to try to get them replaced in primaries by crazy loyal idiots. That will obviously improve the very slim chances of the Dems taking the Senate. Don't get too crazy though, we're talking maybe 2 or 3% now instead of 1%.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Yeah, the next total economic meltdown threat is the debt ceiling fight. They got REAL dumb about that last time. It's going to get pretty ugly this time, because with no major victories to show for anything, every tiny little faction is going to be threatening to take their ball and go home if they don't get what they want.

Y'all are freaking out over a reddit post with like 5 comments on it. It probably got seen by like 30 people before Twitter took to it. Incels aren't a political force in America, stop focusing on stupid distractions. E: The loving 8th person identity story happened and yet there's a page or two of meltdowns about incels. Come on.

How likely is full repeal at this point? Ron Johnson not committing to McConnell's continued leadership, House members fuming they voted for the a horrible version that never got any better in the Senate. They want a win, can they still get 'Repeal' since they can't figure out 'Replace'?

Shifty Pony posted:The question is whether McConnell decides to make the defectors pay by actually holding the vote and putting them on record for primary attacks. lose-lose for mcconnell either way. drawing battle lines with more vote and issues to tackle will win him nothing. not taking the vote will hurt him and his campaign, personally. lol forever

And since McCain's unable to vote while he recovers from his surgery he's essentially a "no" on everything until he can return to the Senate.

What's the likelihood of passing a bi-partisan debt ceiling increase with no strings attached in the 11th hour in order to avoid another government shutdown.

Dietrich posted:What's the likelihood of passing a bi-partisan debt ceiling increase with no strings attached in the 11th hour in order to avoid another government shutdown. Avoiding a government shutdown: Unlikely, maybe 25%. Avoiding a default at close to the very last moment? Very high, probably 95% or so. The fact that default is not zero is still terrifying.

Some poo poo just so vile that it makes a visceral response you can't ignore. Like when you find a dead bird being eaten by maggots and worms on your morning walk.

I like to imagine Trump calling McConnell and telling him he is fired from Senate majority leader. "Mr president you can't do that" "I just did" "no I mean you literally ca-" *TRUMP SLAMS PHONE*

Being majority leader is fun when the president is sane and you have a reliable solid majority. McConnell is in a living hell because the president is an angry vengeful pissbaby who farts a horrifying tweet out onto the internet every morning and demands that you pass bills that have no loving chance of ever passing.

Call it NRAcare and frame it as a nod to patriotic freedom, a tax cut and a celebration of the 2nd amendment. When a family of 4 goes broke from crippling medical bills, they'll know what to do.
