The bonus to this scenario is that Donald Trump would suddenly find himself almost powerless, no longer completely surrounded by Republican lackeys who praise and defend him, stuck in a job he hates, with people shooting down his demands non-stop.

It would be his own, personal Hell.

If the Democrats somehow get 51 in the Senate I could honestly see Trump signing lots of Democratic legislation. :v: He has basically no ideology or principles other than "Trump good" and it might not be too hard to get him on board with looking like a visionary bipartisan uniting leader.

I really, really hope they fail. I really, really hope they give up. I really, really hope we aren't going to be screaming in terror in a few weeks when they turn it all around at the last second like in the house.

But, I have trouble hoping anymore.

The only way there is going to be an election in 2018 is if Trump is actually impeached and removed from office.

Ok, that's not literally true, there is also the possibility that he is innocent of anything meaningful. But if he is guilty of anything that would get a rich person jail time, then those complicit in preventing him being punished are not going to just leave office and join him in jail.

Normally, there are forces that would make an election happen on schedule against the will of the legislature. By definition, If Trump stays in office while guilty, then those forces have been defeated, and likely taken out the back and shot.

The great thing about the healthcare bill failing is that everyone involved knew it was a poo poo bill. That why it was made in secret and they tried to rush it through before the CBO score. They just thought they were so powerful that they could just throw whatever they want around and get it passed. Now they have their hands in the meat grinder and it's beautiful.

If AHCA fails then Republicans want to pass a "repeal" bill that's just an ACA stabilization bill and either use tax cuts to get conservatives or try to change ACA less and woo democrats.

Schumer has kept a fairly tight leash on the Democrats. Any of them who work with Trump on this will suffer electorally for it, even Joe Manchin.

Plus, I don't think Republicans are capable at this point of pushing anything through that isn't incredibly odious. They have to please Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, remember?

If McConnell offers the mythical "repeal Obamacare but keep the ACA" bill, is it worth killing it? I honestly can't make up my mind.

That's far too effective a strategy to ever be considered by the Dems' old guard

They'll probably run a "Hillary should have won" campaign, or double down on Donald Trump's foul character, or something equally stupid

In a different dimension, Kushner is the guy on voice-chat in an MMO guild loudly and very angrily lamenting that he cannot loving BELIEVE this.

The whole point of working with Dems is that they don't have to please the crazies to get it passed, just assemble enough "moderate" republicans and democrats to get to 50 votes

Speaking of CNN what the gently caress is going on with this Reddit user thing

Manufactured controversy, real controversy, or a mix of the two? I've only seen the CHUD POV on it so I'm pretty sure I don't have the whole story.
