Which means a competent Republican probably still wins by 6-10 points. Arizona is like Texas in that while it may turn blue eventually, we're not getting there anytime soon.
Possible? The map to flip the Senate is not great. A flip is a hail Mary.
There is almost no chance they flip the Senate next year. It would have to take a wave among all waves to do so. I just can't see it, honestly.
I mean, Manchin won in WV. Nothing's impossible. It depends on a whole lot of things, honestly.
Even the House will be hard, and that's with all House seats up for grabs.

I keep getting hung up on when calling bennet's office.
The groundswell of kickback must be huge.

Gerrymandering is a bitch.
Also Dems need to stop being incrementalists and just go nuts when they have power. Pass as mich shit as possible, make it as radical as possible so that it's harder to tear down.
Presidents always take a hit in the midterms anyway so just expect it and try to shove aa much through at once as possible, then defend defend defend.

At least they're not kicking you out after the vote passes. You have to take the small victories as they come.

Why is everyone confused about McCann. Wouldn't leadership already know everyone's votes. Isn't this a don't deal?
People are going to die, and you want this to be your contribution to this thread?

Fuck these motherfuckers.
Damn thats awful. I hope the scans come back clear!
I was never able to get on it in the first place because of MO not expanding medicaid so I was always fucked. lol

Assuming the whole post is about 2020, the Dems have a decent chance since the split flips from 2018. Lots of anti-Obamacare Tea Partiers won in purple/blue states in 2014. Like Cory Gardner.

If the GOP are gonna call us radicals anyway, might as well own up to it proudly.
It ultimately leads to the same thing. So no is not dead. The ACA is done. Only a matter of time.

It's gonna be hard going to bed after this is all done :/
Defending doesn't work though. Republicans don't give a shit about people. If we were to pass a single payer healthcare system somehow, Republicans would just tear it down through reconciliation (or just regular, since dems would have to kill the filibuster), and fuck the consequences. It's what's happening right now.
I don't see any movements forward which won't just be immediately moved back by republicans.
Here is the problem, Dems have to spend so much capital fixing Rep fuckups there's not much left for real work. There was just enough left to get ACA over the hump after auto bailouts and stimulus
I think the House is very possible to flip. The majority has stayed so slim even with the gerrymandering issues that it doesn't feel like that much of a long shot. The Senate map is just dire.
I don't know....maybe you should keep that smh directed at the GOP since they don't listen to GAF. People continually find ways to shift a little blame and anger away from the party doing the damage.
"For now we will continue to treat our patients with respect until we are told otherwise."
I like how you didn't even bother to take a moment to research what this actually is because you so desperately wanted to try and get an, "I told you so!" out.

Repeal is dead.
This is Trump's "send Obamacare into a death spiral" backup plan he kept screaming about. Nice try tho.

At least there isn't the clear giddiness in the conservative atmosphere like there was when it passed the house.
Though that could just be all these old men staying up past their bedtime.

I've made multiple contributions to the thread. Now I'm angry and speaking up to some of the people here who failed to see how Republicans was I'll do pretty much anything to win. Time and time again.
And yes, I don't need to be told that this isn't a repeal. But the entire goal was to remove the ACA and destroy it. Repeal or not, this is the end of it.

Yep, luckily I still have a week off before going back to work. I don't have to face my students in despair like I did after Trump was elected. I don't have to field questions about being deported or what is gonna happen to mom, dad, or my grandparents.
I recommend booze.

90% of it IS dead. The Medicaid cuts, the tax cuts for the rich - the ugly core of what they were trying to do got stopped cold.
Conservatives are outraged because this plan only trims around the edges and ultimately hurts the private insurance market while leaving the government side intact. What we're getting was probably the best case scenario under a Republican president (and I think a president Rubio or Bush etc could have pushed through something much further to the right - a lot of lives were saved by Trump having no fucking idea what he's doing).

Who gives a fuck about lame shit empathy when you get to be smug online?

Ah gerrymandering. Can't wait to see how the SCOTUS rules on that.
Multiple repeals have failed, multiple bills have failed. No one gives a fuck about your gotcha shit right now, find another time and place for that.
It's FREEDOM from minorities votes counting too much. Approved

Wait till tomorrow.
And you should continue to keep that anger...all of it...directed at the party who actually make a difference in something passing. Not a person here is making a vote. You sound silly.

According to Nate Silver, Tweets about McCain's body language mean that betting markets have the odds of passage fluctuating between 60-75%.
