    Yes, while President Obama was still in office and they knew he would veto it so they didn't bother to fight the reconciliation.

    It's proof that it can be done. The GOP needs to keep its promise that they have run on since 2010 or come out and admit that they have no intention of repealing Obamacare, this whole making excuses is just ridiculous, especially given how many times they have moved the goalpost. fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I understood needing the house and the Senate, and the Whitehouse, but now saying they need a super majority is a bridge too far. They know how to pass it with reconcilation, (a fact I'm sure they want to bury now) so they need to do so, at least make it a fight. But as per the norm Trump and the GOPe are more interested in fighting conservatives than Democrats. We were all told Trump would be a fighter, so let's see him fight the Dems on this. I won't be holding my breath however that Trump will ever fight the Dems. He saves it all for the media and conservative.

    Exactly. Trump understands this, and I'm not a big Ryan fan, but he gets it too. In this case, Ryan is actually much more sensible than Rand Paul.

    There's nothing wrong with a fight, but it makes much more sense to do the sure things first. It's a lot better than getting nothing and hoping for more seats in the midterm.

    Passing a bill doomed to veto is not proof of anything.

    It is going to happen! Right, left and all those inbetween are in mortal fear of 2018, 2020.

    The DNC CANNOT take a set back again, again.

    A staged donnybrook followed by doublethink wordsmithing and wordcrafting, followed by a Trump "deal" and voilà - ObamaCare 2.0.

    Joe is not a JFK Democrat.

    JFK was more conservative than many, most maybe even ALL the neocons.

    "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." JFK.

    IOW Get off welfare and get a job (able-bodied).

    They first need to get rid of Byrd amendment, that stated only finances allowed in reconciliation bill, as they need to hit Tort change and allow for state to state insurance commerce!

    So you think those living on welfare deprive you of your what?
    Or that fat [Crude language edited] Trump who lies like every word that comes out of his mouth......probably put in there by that other fat [Crude language edited] Steve Bannon who is a total bomb thrower.
