Unfortunately Palin has floated the possibility of primarying against Murkowski - it would take six years, but if Trump gets a second term she'll likely do it.
To be fair, they probably will. It seems like a certain segment of Americans increasingly blame Democrats for all their ills, and that America needs some kind of final solution they can all get behind as a camp to really concentrate on the problem.

This ruined my day
Who would have guessed that a bill that was as unpopular as theirs couldn't get the votes necessary? Also who could have fathomed that the states getting medicare subsidies from Obamacare would not want it to be repealed without a replacement?
These guys are above all incompetent. They aren't good at their jobs. None of them could actually sell why the American public would want their plan. Trump had no clue what their plan actually did, and why it would be better than Obamacare. He never gave a single speech or press conference in support of the plan. Most GOP senators didn't seem to really support it either. Even if they were going to vote for it, I didn't hear any enthusiasm around the bill.
Now they can't even gather the votes to repeal. They just wasted half a year with nothing to show for it.
What a farce.

Damn. Harsh bro.
I've seen polls which indicate that the large majority of Americans will blame Trump and Confessional Republicans if healthcare goes to shit.

It was Stabenow.
That's a rather large "if"!
I don't think Palin could ever win another election in her life. She cut and run from her last post to become a media darling.

Guys don't worry about the turtle in Skinny Pete's gif
cause it probably died!
As I said in the other thread, the ACA is effectively "dead" as well.
The ACA will technically remain on the books as law, but the actual mechanisms of its implementation will effectively collapse. No sane insurance company is going to want to remain in the exchanges in such a politically volatile environment.

Precisely why she'd be a good pick. Trump was basically a cancer until the success of the Apprentice turned his brand around. Palin is BELOVED among the Right in Alaska.
I'm very pleasantly reassured to hear this. When you go on social media and look at comments sections in websites, or Twitter, the prevailing, louder, easy-to-see opinion is that Republicans can do no wrong, and it's just libtard whining making things worse.

Uh, they don't just add more senators if there's a party switch.
Not that anyone's switching parties.
The exchanges run by the states should be OK. And Trump can't do anything about Medicaid expansion.
It's stable now, but with the Imbecile-in-Chief saying that he's willing to let the ACA "fail" -- and the administration can certainly do that through funding mechanisms -- then why should any insurance company remain in the exchange market?

How many times did they pass this when Obama was president? Oh how they wish they could go back to being bullshit artists.
I think part of it also has to do with a "If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me" attitude. Most of this seems to be aimed at taking down "undesirables," such as people of ethnicity, the LGBT community and others that aren't straight, white, heterosexual Christians.
I guess there's a pervasive belief that as long as those guys get hurt too, this is a blow people are willing to take. Hate or fear of the other makes many things possible.
The article was valid at the time. The ACA has become more unstable due to the trump administration not committing to paying the subsidies for lower deductibles and not enforcing the "mandate"

Palin is lazy as fuck and doesn't want to be a senator.
LOL like anyone's gonna give Pelosi and Schumer credit for anything these days.

A reporter needed to straight up ask Trump what the name of the Senate Health Care Plan was. I guarantee you he wouldn't have known.

I wonder how obama is feeling.
A terrible health care plan that will deprive millions of health insurance absolutely should fail.

Damn, and here I thought you people only told us we need to be compassionate toward the people who want to revoke health insurance and cause unnecessary deaths. I didn't know we had to be nice to their actual plans, too.

Lol, fucking idiot.
This wasn't a health plan. It was a tax cut for rich people financed by health spending cuts.
