    This is really bad for Itch. I mean good lord this is Boehner lever horrible. Unless his plan is literally to screw Trump by not getting this passed this year he has failed epicly.
    Agreed. Chump needs a foil for not getting stuff done. Itch, step on up pal, because you're it. Do I think he's in danger of losing his title as Majority Leader? Of course not. Do I think his new title is going to be Punching Bag? Yes I do. The man has been rendered impotent by his own caucus on the single biggest cause of the GOP over the last decade. If he had any pride and wasn't just in it to cash checks from lobbyists, he'd step down. Fortunately, pride isn't a problem that Itch has.

      There's still the tax theft to push through. If he muffs that then his SMLship is done. He has one job.

        I agree, and the pressure just ratcheted way up. If you're a hard core knuck, somebody who worships Trump, tax cuts for rich guys really isn't something you care about personally, but you'll go along for the ride without having any skin in the game. If you're a bought and paid for Gooper like Itch or Ryan, your life depends on this. You'd give up your first born to pass tax cuts for billionaires. Should be real interesting. Once again, the Congressional leadership and the actual voters have competing priorities on tax reform.

              Yes. The GOP's best bet was somehow sneaking it through while the country was worried about War With Belarus or something. Now with all the focus on it they just have to force it through, lie, and bluff it out, like they did with Shrub's Folly.

              I can't imagine a single Republican voting against it, so they should be safe. $6T for the rich while the poor literally die. It's a no-brainer for these sociopaths.

                Wasn't paying for their stupid tax cuts the entire point of repealing Obamacare?

                If they don't repeal it, and then cut taxes anyway, they should and will get hammered by primary challengers for their hypocrisy regarding the "party of fiscal responsibility" crapola.

                  She is getting sucked into a trap. Anyone with half a brain knows that. There is no upside to debating those clowns on CNN for her. None. It's not being reactionary to lose respect for someone when they do something stupid.

                  Correct. And that's why debating them is pointless and stupid. There is no upside.

                      Well the only way he passes Tax Reform is to either 1) get this crap to pass to offset the cost or 2) pray the Dems throw him a bone. He doesnt have the votes to pass it normally and he doesnt have the money to offset the Byrd Rule. (which yes is a technicality but will still be used to block it in the end)

                      Itch cant use Reconciliation to pass tax reform this year and I dont see how he will next year either.

                        Oh, I completely agree. I'm just saying a man who has already shot himself in the face isn't tarnished by a broken nose.

                            I think most liberals knew repealing ACA was unlikely. GOPers created a mindless hysteria about it as soon as it was passed and got a lot of political capital from that, but they had virtually NO CLUE how to come up with something better. Strike that. They had no clue how to come up with something better that would satisfy the mob they had created. Now they have to put up, and they can't.

                            It wasn't only Scooby who wanted them to repeal ACA and put their name on whatever they replaced it with, just for the pleasure of seeing them try to defend it. Hard not to give in to that kind of schadenfreude.

                              You say that like the former and latter are connected. Sure they clearly had no actual replacement idea despite 8 years of complaining, but they wouldn't care if some solution they came up with was held together with tape and chewing gum as long as it got the votes they needed. Luckily thus far non has.

                                I thought an ACA repeal was likely if they would have left Medicare/Medicaid out of it. Susan Collins was practically begging them to do, and if they would have gotten her they would have gotten almost everybody else (maybe Rand Paul held out in that case but they could lose him and one other). That part was all for the benefit of the billionaire donors that Paul Ryan sucks off on a weekly basis so they'll write million dollar checks for him to cash. Politically it was stupid. You've now made Heller and Flake walk the plank for nothing, while giving people like Manchin and Heitkamp an easy issue to run on in 2018 in otherwise difficult races. Simply put, if the GOP gains two more senate seats, say hello to tax cuts for billionaires paid for by Medicaid cuts. Is there ANYBODY in the country who received expanded Medicaid now who wants that taken away so the Koch Brothers can get yet another tax break?
