I wonder how much Mcconnell is willing to put into the bill at this point.
Hey look, no Democrats.

PP will kill bill.

Just came from WH. @realDonaldTrump is open to making bill better. Is Senate leadership?

Trump has never helped a situation once. I'm pretty sure the only reason the house bill happened was because of future-temporary-President Pence.

I totally forgot if Collins and Murkowksi put the amendment to a vote, the Democrats can vote for it, and possibly have it added to the bill.
Would they risk it?
Also for anyone who thinks Trump matters, from CNN

This is very similar to how the house bill went.
And like that, it will also pass.

Someone must be allergic to bipartisanship.
What in the name of fuck is coming out?
I don't mind Warren, or other Dems, throwing Obama under the bus at this point re: ACA because he's not going to be on the ballot anymore. Progress means looking forward, not backwards.
The political capital/will for single payer didn't exist in 2008. It does now, in large part because of the ACA.
also I find the endless Benjamin Wittes striptease to be so utterly dull and self-serving. zzzzz

if this is the case, how much of DT's base is getting shafted before the 2018 midterms? Best case for GOP is the counties affected are mostly blue and they keep their majority going into 2019 but it doesn't seem likely.
Eh. It's best just to wait, but it looks like possible solid proof that at least a member of Trump's campaign team colluding with Russia in the election.

I was just thinking that. If all 48 Democrats voted for the amendment, would it be able to pass? Could they find a third Republican to put it at 51? Would the Democrats do that?

They fucked.
Is he implying that Hilary lying would mean something when the dude he's stanning for literally lies every day?
why work with the dems when they can repeal ACA on their own? Everybody is going to make the GOP own this bill

Really?
- So now it's obvious Murkowski is a no, when we had no idea before
- the PP is never ever ever ever being added to the bill and if it some how accidentally got added the bill, the bill dies 98-2 in a vote.
- If her and Collins are a no without PP funding + Heller, the bill is dead
- Delaying the vote is bad for McConnell. Now senators get an entire week bonanza of bad press and angry constituents. It was said by basically the entire senate that pushing this to after the recess was a death sentence for the bill, and nothing has changed there. They were working fast for a reason.
- McConnell isn't paying attention to a few senator's requests, implying maybe he doesn't actually care that much
Or maybe he doesn't know shit.
Either way, its really fucking dumb and unprofessional.

And now with the vote delayed, we have ample time for TICK TICK BOOM.
The WH has been so desperate to distract that I truly expect something big.

Everyone who was convinced that this was all political theater to get the vote done this week should take at least a little L. Just a little one.

You're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too optimistic.

No vote this week is a good first step.
I think you can put it on the ballot in 2020 and win. So much of the resistance to the ACA has been constructed around the counterfactual of the hypothetical utopian Republican free market plan that, lo and behold, is fucking terrible.
So, run on single payer, win everything, then pass a public option

Yeah, it could certainly still pass after the recess so we mustn't let our guard down, but this could harden opposition by letting the CBO score simmer and senators have to deal with outrage from their constituents.

Delaying the vote gives more of a chance to organize against it. Hope that's not blown. The House bill originally went down this same path.

No vote this week is a small victory. At least now we'll get a chance to scream at our senators in person for a week or two before they sign millions off to die.
