Collins, Murkowski and Capito are the three GOP senators that are coming out against it.

FAKE NEWS

 

[ApharmdX]

LOL repeal only lasted for mere hours! What a clusterfuck the GOP is.

 

[Brashnir]

First they were the Party of No.

Eventually they became the Party of Nothing.

 

[TheCochese]

 

[JettDash]

I hope Senator Turtle is having a terrible day.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Get fucked turtle.

 

[Armaros]

If the 'moderates' were lery of the medicare cuts without anything, how in the world would they support just repeal of obamacare when that entails the medicare cuts.

*head spins*

 

[commedieu]

So, are they going to try to fix it....? They needed this for their Tax platform savings, without this, the tax platform is DOA as well. I mean, I know the Tax reform is in some ways, harder than healthcare. So it will just be a repeat of republican morons, representing morons that voted for them, not being able to pass anything in the country?

Isn't it important for them to provide healthcare, since obamacare is literally killing me as I pos....
...x.x.

GOP as useful as a fish out of water.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Makes it even more hilarious that its women that is killing his bill.

You know he hates women that hold any power.

 

[perfectchaos007]

This has gotta be stressful for Trump. He'll probably take a few months off the job to settle down.

 

[Beartruck]

Tonight I dine on turtle soup.

Maybe he will get a heart attack.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Get fucked turtle.

 

[GK86]

I can feel the tweet coming already:

Trump: "Don't repeal, just like Obamacare explode. The Dems will come crawling back!"

I actually wish it was Murkowski that was the third vote so he can threaten her with a primary challenge lol.

 

[Dead Prince]

twitter rage if youre alive still, trumo

 

[RPGCrazied]

H will just go play a round or two of golf! He has already played like 45 times since being in office.

 

[Autodidact]

Mitch has lost all credibility and power over his caucus.

He needs to resign.

 

[Fox Mulder]

[maximum360]

Perfect.

 

[Protein]

Party of 'No Government' fucking sucks at governing. Who would of thought?

 

[Skinny Pete]

I can feel the tweet coming already:

Trump: "Don't repeal, just like Obamacare explode. The Dems will come crawling back!"

That's pretty much word for word what he just said ha.

 

[TumblingHippo]

I hope we get to see the epilogue of the eventual musical adaptation happen where the Trump actor comes up to stage and goes "I couldn't repeal it even if I tried... and I tried."

 

[Aaron Strife]

I actually wish it was Murkowski that was the third vote so he can threaten her with a primary challenge lol.

She's already lost a primary in 2010, she turned around and won as a write-in candidate.

Trump holds no power over Murky.

He won't even be president by the time she's up for re-election tbh.

 

[Armaros]

I can feel the tweet coming already:

Trump: "Don't repeal, just like Obamacare explode. The Dems will come crawling back!"

He said that the first time the healthcare bill failed in the House.

 

[LakeEarth]

I can feel the tweet coming already:

Trump: "Don't repeal, just like Obamacare explode. The Dems will come crawling back!"

"Obstructing democrats (which they don't have the votes to do) are preventing this bill (that they were not given any role in the writing of) from repealing Obamacare (which they killed themselves to get passed the first time around)"

 

[titiklabingapat]

She's already lost a primary in 2010, she turned around and won as a write-in candidate.

Trump holds no power over Murky.

Exactly my point.

 

[JettDash]

That's pretty much word for word what he just said ha.

I don't get how he doesn't know that he would get the blame and that there is 0 chance that Democrats will come running to him.

I guess he is just that stupid.

 

[Velcro Fly]

There was never any way repeal only was going to be a thing. They couldn't in this climate be that stupid and think they were going to get away with it.

 

[Sectorseven]

Those pesky democrats need to accept that the republicans have the majority.

 

[StayDead]

Obamacare repeal only is dead as well

Am I just being crazy or do these words not make sense in that order?

 

[Mariolee]

Unprecedented obstructionism.

Pretty sure Trump is somehow blaming Dems for this as per his Twitter.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Exactly my point.

Yeah I figured.

She should switch parties. She can take Collins with her.

 

[flkraven]

Please tell me someone helped that turtle get over

 

[gimmmick]

Mitch is living a south west airlines commercial (wanna get away?).

 

[Mariolee]

Am I just being crazy or do these words not make sense in that order?

What it means is that "repealing Obamacare without a replacement" is dead in the water.

However, it's still possible if they have a good enough replacement (ha) they can repeal and replace at the same time.

 

[Garrett 2U]

It's the Democrats obstructing the process.
Who cares that they weren't invited to any meetings regarding the process, they are the problem!

8 Democrats control the Senate*.

*Source is the president

 

[Heel]

 

[jiggle]

They don't need those votes when they have Dems support though lol

 

[RPGCrazied]

Yeah I figured.

She should switch parties. She can take Collins with her.

No. We need them in the GOP party. We don't want them replaced with crazy Republicans that will vote anything to please the President.

 

[Camwi]

That's just sad. Poor guy's trying so hard.

 

[Protein]

They tried for years to repeal this and even with all branches of government they still can't. Fucking worthless old twats.

 

[DMczaf]

Please tell me someone helped that turtle get over

Triple H buried it

 

[Trojita]

As bad as a day you might be having today, remember that the turtle and chump and probably having meltdown tier tantrums behind closed doors.

 

[LakeEarth]

Please tell me someone helped that turtle get over

I'm not sure, here's a picture of the guy who filmed it:

 

[JettDash]

I really don't think that Pelosi and Schumer would mind taking the "blame" for "obstructing" them from taking healthcare from tens of millions.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Murawski and Collins are expected, they're the only Rs left with a damn backbone.

Capito is a shock, but considering her state is the poorest in the nation (WV) and I think something like 50% of residents depend on the ACA, it's not all that surprising.
