so, what future implications will this loss mean?

Seems they realized how monumental of a task it was to pass it the first time around and now they want to ignore it until it becomes an issue, then frame it as it being the democrats fault for it failing.
 
I love how Obamacare survived a conservative leaning Supreme Court, and now survived a far right controlled federal government

Obama is untouchable, even after he leaves office.

Has all this hoopla also cemented that Obamacare is the ACA which many people didn't realise. That's quite amusing.

This was a terrible showing for the republicans and Trump. Unified congress and president and they couldn't do it. It's a major fail for their party.
 
Wow, they just interrupted all the network programming for this.

I was watching Judge Judy. And they never interrupt Judge Judy.

Good. The more eyes on this, the better.

What kind of douche canoe is sitting in the front row of a press conference with a huge texan-style cowboy hat.

The fuck is wrong with y'all.

Can someone explain to me how this didn't pass when it was such a smaller bill compared to ACA? I mean, it was SO SMALL!

Hell, they couldn't get past the House. It never even got to the Senate. It's extraordinarily embarrassing. This is like two tiny thumbs down type of performance.

Breitbart right now.

goddamn they hate him, bannon still calling shots

When Trump won, I was sure that we had lost the ACA.

i think a lot of us were, but we should really count on GOP incompetence more

Breitbart describing this as "humiliating" for Trump is surprising to me.

It is though. You control all three branches of government. You have all the votes needed to pass this. It was a big part of Trumps campaign and all of the GOP yet they can't even get this thing to a vote?

What he say's means nothing, and I thoroughly expect the spineless turds to cave eventually.
This is all the worst case as seen from my pessimistic mind obviously.
Okay, fine. Doesn't negate the rest of what I said.

The GOP cannot make a healthcare bill that pleases every part of the party. It just isn't possible, and it's a big reason why the AHCA failed. I don't see how they could make a second bill that somehow pleases everyone.

No
They are doing everything that got them into power

What, trying to govern and failing miserably?

Nah, I don't think that's what got them into power. This is their first legitimate attempt at governance in a decade, and it isn't going well for them so far.

There is something extremely ironic that under Obama the Republicans voted to repeal Obamacare 60 some odd times, because they knew they would lose. Now that they actually have the power to do it, they are too chickenshit to actually vote.

The Democratic leadership need to take this pile of crap and keep rubbing the Republican's faces in it like you would a dog that shit on your floor.
