There's like zero chance Doug Jones is going to snap up the Alabama Senate seat, right?

Bad dems are going to refuse to allocate any resources towards the race, Jones is going to lose by like 2% or something, then bad dems will immediately claim that the outcome is decisive evidence that the race was always unwinnable.

Amy is building up bipartisan bucks that she can spend in the capitol when a new bill comes along. She's nearly got 4,000 bp bucks, that's enough to lower Medicare age to 64 by 2022.

Wait which board game is this, is this Stratego or Risk

But it's okay because Roy Moore is hilariously crazy and it'll be hilarious giving him the power of a United States Senator because he'll sometimes make Mitch McConnell SO ANGRY and this will never have any negative consequences for anyone.

it means give the insurers more money, subsidies, deregulation, and favorable treatment so they don't pull out of the Obamacare exchanges

"Well Jones lost by much less than we'd anticipated despite the party not supporting him in any measurable way, so it's really a victory and validation of sensible centrist doctrine that we shouldn't risk via wild dalliances with socialism." -CC, probably.

Jones was a flawed candidate. Very flawed. Ossoff and Hillary? Now those were grade A prospects.

Hillary was awful because she was so anti-data center consolidation that she actually opened up her own in her basement #witchhillary #notarealdemocrat

In the context of what you are going through right now as a nation, a "bi-partizan" effort to "fix" Obamacare would/could only mean more dead, uninsured people. Especially when you understand that the only reason GOP was trying to touch ACA right now was to bleed it dry so that they could pass their tax "reform" bill.

In the context of what you are going through right now as a nation, stabilizing the health markets means placating the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, so that they keep making enormous profits on the skulls of dead citizens. As long as you keep viewing healthcare as strictly a for-profit business, you will never reach the coverage, price and quality levels that your population demands.

Don't, unless you're fond of smelling piss, mildew, leaded gasoline and hangover-breath everywhere. It's also not much to look at, unless you're really into urban decay and seeing every inch of ground covered in parked cars.

Bet you didn't even know that there are multiple words for "hangover breath" in russian.
