But are there enough of them, or is the party still the plaything of Rush and Hannity?

    From what I read here it seems like our resident Republicans (both admitted and surreptitious) have had the fever break and are ready to be responsible again. But this place is far from a cross-section of the Republican base.
    the freeDUMB caucus will not change. That I see. But I think there may be some moderates that can use the town halls that expressed their displeasure of repealing the ACA to their advantage. When you start hearing R's call it the ACA instead of Obama Care, that will be the signal.

        This is gonna be a strained conversation.

        Senator Orrin Hatch will be trudging to the White House to deliver some bad news: despite all of the desperate Tweeting by the malevolent imbecile occupying the Oval Office, there will be no further attempt by the Republican Party to gut Health Care Coverage for the American people—at least for this year, and probably for the foreseeable future.
        Be interesting if Trump turns his passive-aggressive act on Orrin Hatch. That's a guy who brings a semi-automatic to a tickle fight.

              If I'm reading this right, the DC appeals court just ruled the states have standing to sue Trump if he axes the CSR payments, so he will have to sabotage the ACA in some slightly less obvious way.

                Yeah I'm not sure what Chump was thinking about as anti-ACA nuts have already lost twice at the SCOTUS and the last time I checked the corporate guys (Roberts & Kennedy) + 4 Libs = majority in favor of keeping the payments. Maybe for different reasons but I don't see Roberts voting to put insurance companies out of business.

                            Yup! Take it down!

                            Thank God there is nothing else to worry about that The Senate can try again to repeal. Trying to sneak it in before the CBO can tell people how bad it is (again) is a nice cherry on top!

                            What this really means is they know they cant get tax reform to pass in any way shape or form so they are going to fight to repeal again and hope they can make the tax cuts revenue neutral and try and slip it in with Reconciliation.

                              They want to pass Tax Reform next year under reconciliation and health care this year because they can only do this once a year and they're concerned about holding onto Congress past 2018

                                They need to do the heist now; the clock is ticking. That is the sole reason for the GOP ever winning an election. Everything else is negotiable, but not giving the US treasury to the wealthy -- that has been their Divine Mandate since the days of Saint Ronnie.

                                This time the take will be about $6T, which pushes the total amount stolen by the richest 16k American families from the other 300M citizens to over $25T. The greatest crime in history. Well done, gentlemen. Well done.

                                We need an app for where those 16k live. It will... come in handy... someday. Should be very easy -- just tap Zillow and pull every private residence worth over $10M. There are a bunch of supertalls in NYC which if they were to somehow fall over would take care of about 100 per. Extremely useful for them to be so thin.
