Trumpcare Is Coming to a House Vote. It Could Even Pass.

quote [ There has been one end game strategy with Trumpcare for a month: Eventually just put the bill on the floor, and dare members to side either with it or with Obamacare. This will be put to its test Friday, after a Thursday of collapsing negotiations and ongoing recriminations surrounding the ACA. ]

The holdouts will probably fall in line today. Otherwise, they'll be a bunch of Losers.

UPDATE: THEY PULLED IT. THE CLOSER COULDN'T CLOSE THE DEAL.

Trump is calling Members to walk the plank.

"Trump issued lawmakers an ultimatum Thurday night. He wants the House to vote Friday on the legislation to begin dismantling ObamaCare and if it fails, he is "done with health care,” and ready to move on to tax reform, a source told Fox News."

Still unsure if Ryan will call a vote, still doesn't look like the have the votes. Even if they do it looks like a loser in the senate.

++++++EDIT++++++

The very best thing for Dems is to have this come up for a vote...win or lose. If it loses it won't lose by one or two votes it will lose by 40 or 50 and we can put a stake in its heart.

It it wins we have the members on record voting to take away your health care...and we kill it in the senate.

If they pull it there is a chance they could redo it and bring it back and Ryan doesn't look like a fool...and this is what I expect will happen.

If they do pull it, next time it will be a midnight surprise, with no advance notice, followed by vacation recess.

It's not like they know what they are doing but the Whitehouse says they will get a vote...I hope so.

At work today we were all laughing our balls off at this. Fucking incompetents couldn't legislate their way out of a paper bag. And Trump's favorite book (other than the Bible, natch) helped him out so much, too.
