Perfection

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Trumpy was saying Obamacare stays if they didn't vote yes. Keep your word time?

 

[BiggNife]

It'll be back with a vengeance.

They'll definitely try again but they need to please both moderates and the freedom caucus to get a bill like this passed and I just don't see it happening.

 

[tuffy]

Bill's dead and now they get to spend the weekend looking for a place to bury its corpse. There isn't enough time to come up with anything else they can try to weasel through the budget reconciliation process, so it's done for the near future.

 

[Oersted]

Trump fucking sucks at his job.

Thankfully. For the wellbeing of non-rich americans, the more Donald failures, the merrier.

 

[SoundofSilence]

 

[Holy Order Sol]

when you so wack you manage to fuck up fuckery itself

 

[Nerokis]

People celebrating this don't seem to care that it was pulled because it was still too much healthcare.

That doesn't seem like good news.

Well, it's a pretty shitty bill all around, and people across the entire political spectrum have big problems with it.

It's just that the Freedom Caucus was the biggest impediment to passage in the House, which wasn't going to decide the fate of Obamacare repeal in the first place.

 

[Futureman]

Seems as if the Repubs are kinda fucked with this Freedom Caucus group of thugs. They want certain things that moderate Repubs don't want and vice versa.

 

[Fenderputty]

let them try and make it worse..

Which version of this bill actually caused less people to be insured than just an all out repeal? lol

I don't remember if it was the first or the second. Either way making it worse, at this point, would be a challenge if a full repeal would have better results.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Welp. Full repeal with no replacement it is...

 

[Horns]

Small victory, but these fucks voted to repeal the ACA 60 times. They'll be back to their bullshit soon enough.

 

[TankRizzo]

Is she trying to squeeze a fart out?

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Turns out governing is a lot harder than just lobbing grenades from the sideline.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Trumpy was saying Obamacare stays if they didn't vote yes. Keep your word time?

I see them keeping it or repealing it. I doubt they try replacing it with anything now. Just adding or subtracting something small.

 

[Future PhaZe]

So the FC just won a game of chicken with Trump

That's a huge loss given all his threats.

 

[xxracerxx]

People celebrating this don't seem to care that it was pulled because it was still too much healthcare.

That doesn't seem like good news.

It also didn't pass because it didn't provide for enough constitutes. You are only looking at one side of it.

 

[btrboyev]

They will just try again next week. This is only a small win.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Hope Trump says he is moving on making Obamacare law of the land. What a time to be alive. Republicans control everything, yet can't get rid of the one thing they have been saying is gone day 1. Glorious.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

People celebrating this don't seem to care that it was pulled because it was still too much healthcare.

That doesn't seem like good news.

The next time they can try again isn't until next year. And that's midterm year. It's dead. ACA is law of the land for basically ever now.

 

[conpfreak]

I guess Trump got tired of winning?

 

[Surfinn]

But what's the next step? Vote on Monday? Or..

 

[Loxley]

House Freedom Caucus saves the country by keeping Obamacare in place.

It's like raaaaaaaaiinnnnnn

Straight outta The Onion.

 

[Muffin1611]

Awww man, I wanted to see it crash and burn today.

Is postponing today good or bad?

 

[SoundofSilence]

They will just try again next week. This is only a small win.

No. It's dead.

 

[Bernbaum]

The rest of the world is really impressed with you guys.

Terrific job America.

 

[RoKKeR]

I sort of hate that this was the politically best outcome for the GOP. Still, at least nobody has yet to be negatively impacted by the GOP's terrible legislation.

Costa on MSNBC: Trump says bill won’t be coming back in near future & he’ll see if the Dems want to work with him on healthcare.

So much for coming back to it again in the future. Healthcare reform is dead, time to fail at tax reform too next.

 

[marrec]

They will just try again next week. This is only a small win.

They don't have many more chances, and they've proven that they cannot appease both moderates and the Freedom Caucus.

This bill is dead.

 

[Mrbob]

Paul Ryan press conference in 10 minutes.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

They will just try again next week. This is only a small win.

With what?

This shit's dead as a doornail. Trump tried to play chicken and he blinked. Their deadline is fast approaching to have it approved without 60 votes, and they can't do this next year because mid-terms. They lost so bad.

 

[Apharmd]

The Great Negotiator of Our Time.

HEHEHEHEH.

 

[everyday math]

 

[- J - D -]

They'll definitely try again but they need to please both moderates and the freedom caucus to get a bill like this passed and I just don't see it happening.

I didn't say it had a greater chance of passing. It'll just be back angrier and hairier next time lol.

 

[VendettaRed07]

Welp. Full repeal with no replacement it is...

If they couldn't get a vote on this they can't get a vote on that

The gulf between the moderate GOP and the FC is not a gap that can be bridged on this issue.

 

[NervousXtian]

Seems as if the Repubs are kinda fucked with this Freedom Caucus group of thugs. They want certain things that moderate Repubs don't want and vice versa.

Which is exactly why if Donald was actually a good negotiator (he's not) he would have tried to win moderate Dems to work with moderate Republicans to make changes. The only chance he really had at getting something passed would have been to go across the aisle.

He didn't even attempt that... and all the bullshit he's spewed at the left after winning the election meant that was going to be an uphill battle.

He's used to having yes men everywhere he went before because of his money. He's finding out now that big bank doesn't always take little bank in Washington.

 

[Surfinn]

Paul Ryan press conference in 10 minutes.

Resignation please, lol.

 

[Chumley]

This feels like Christmas

Get fucked Donald

 

[Sean C]

People celebrating this don't seem to care that it was pulled because it was still too much healthcare.

That doesn't seem like good news.

Any bill that would gain the approval of the Freedumb Caucus would lose more votes from more centrist/vulnerable House Republicans, and be DOA in the Senate.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Rep Bradley Byrne from Alabama said that they are gonna move on from healthcare. So next up Tax reform I guess. lol

I'd love to see Trump try to negotiate with the Democrats. Maybe this is THE PIVOT we've heard so much about.

So he's just going to say "fuck it" to his party and try to woo Democrats instead??

FUCKING LOL!

 

[PopeReal]

Complete control of government but completely incompetent as well.

 

[mightynine]

I hope Paul Ryan comes out with his sleeves rolled up and a PowerPoint that shows exactly where he'll be thrown under the bus.

 

[Trago]

HAHAHAHA!

What a shit show.

 

[G0523]

L O Fucking L. I guess Ryan and Trump didn't want to see it not get votes. God, they're such little bitches. They'd rather pull the bill than follow through.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I can dislike Trump 10% less if he is willing to work with Dems to actually improve Obamacare.

He said he's willing to use government spending to cover people. So do it.

 

[Hazzuh]

That should piss off his base.
