Not without massive changes
Not as is. If it makes it through the Senate it'll likely have to go back down to the House.

Not in its current form. However McConnell can edit it to pass. The question becomes will the freedom caucus revolt.
Edit: The AARP is already out against this bill.
Where did I say we can't try?
Just hate the attitude that somehow the Senate will save us.

Trump and Ryan gonna cash in that W prematurely. Hope it comes back to bite them in the ass.

Senate will absolutely replace this with something much more moderate, even moreso than the original AHCA.
The FC in the House will then have to make the decision whether they prefer any repeal of Obamacare at all or nothing at all. That is what it's going to come down to.

And not even just the House Freedom Caucus. Are the demands of Lee/Cruz/Paul compatible with the demands of Collins/Murkowski/Flake/Heller? McConnell can't lose those 3 votes.

The president will make remarks at 3:30 in the Rose Garden, per the White House

The AMA and AARP have come out now against the bill.
Some of the greatest minds of our time will be at war with each other.

I hate the attitude that this somehow will be easy walk in the Senate! How about instead of saying "bang!", we actually try to make it hard for them and try to make the bill as least-damaging as possible?
Fun fact, Republicans actually have a smaller margin in the Senate than in the House!
"Job killing Obamacare is dead! Health insurance will now be more affordable. Our bill will help people bigly. It's the best healthcare bill passed ever."
There. Saved you a few seconds.

Media is worse now than it was on 2009. This isn't going to have the kind of political fallout people think it will.

Sort of funny news.
Looks like there's a party/ press conference to happen in the Rose Garden, while the Australian Prime Minister waits in New York...

An ACA repeal may happen but its not going to be the AHCA with a few minor mods.

CNN can truly fuck off.

In better news:
I mean the headline isn't wrong, this is what Trump considers winning, and it's the only thing he's been able to pass. It's not like it says "a win for America" or something.

OK. No one will report on the CBO score for this. Americans will lose their Healthcare and no one will care. Hurray!

Seriously. The headline is fine. Not like it says Great for America.

Yeah because they didn't put it all over the headlines with the last score?
Of course they will. It's a garbage presentation of what happened today but they'll happily get back to slamming the GOP tomorrow.
I don't mind a little of that word that starts with D and ends with S in my PoliGAF. Can't blame them for being there etc. anyway.
(Also I know you were being sarcastic)
And it's perfect for attack ads...
"At Last, Victory for Trump"
*cut to woman talking about her C Section costs*
Everyone needs to put the freak out on hold and remember that before it failed the first time around, conventional wisdom was that House Republicans would send some piece of garbage to die in the Senate. So far, that's all that has happened. There's a long way to go before anything reaches Trump's desk.

I think people losing either their own healthcare or someone they know's healthcare will be more damaging than a CBO score tbh

I bet they'll find winning is more fun and more popular with their voters than losing. So I have little hope they'll be scared by going too moderate for their district. Our only hope lies in making voters in purple states and GOP districts hate the bill not because it's too moderate, but because they are aware exactly how badly it fucks them over.
If it's actually in the bill, holy balls, even more delicious ads.

Do you really think they will fuck with their own healthcare?
They voted on it immediately prior.

WilsonGT posted about it a page ago.
Ah, so is there a place that shows what they voted on?
I trust pigwidgeon. (And the many Twitter peeps who posted about it.)
