Socialists Democrats hope to
return to power for the first time since the early Obama years.
The party of ludicrous
obstruction is facing a brutal 2018 map in which 10 Senate Democrats are up for
reelection in states President Trump won.
Their base is clamoring to remove him from office before 2020.
The party has, of late,
being eating their own. Nancy Palsi
tweeted about “striving to Make America Beautiful Again”. Mad Maxine Waters called for her supporters
to harass Trump Administration officials saying, “God is on our side. If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a
restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you
create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they’re not welcome
anymore, anywhere.”
They’ve hitched their
wagon to some barmaid from the Bronx who is economically
ignorant and ignited
a controversy when she said America wasn’t founded on capitalism and called
Israel an “occupation” force in the Palestinian territories.
Meanwhile, Republicans
are poised to gain a decades-long hyper-conservative majority on the Supreme
Court with Trump's nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, and all the Democratic leadership
can do is wring their hands and shout about Roe v. Wade, health care and
immigration without a clear, unified message about how to win back
the House and Senate in 2018.
The unimaginative
leaders of the Democrat Party─Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and DNC Chairman Tom
Perez─have feigned playing nice talking about the virtues of civility while Republicans
have been accusing Democrats of backing Communism and supporting the savage gang
members of MS-13.
Marc Thiessen wrote in
a Washington
Post Op-Ed, “MS-13 is a demonic death cult. And President Trump has
Nancy Pelosi defending its members’ humanity.”
“Through their
dishonesty, Democrats such as Pelosi have handed the President a winning issue.
A Harvard/Harris poll finds that 56 percent
of Americans agree with Trump that it is fair to call MS-13 “animals”
(including 47 percent of Hispanics, and 41 percent of Democrats). Millions of
Americans can’t understand why Democrats seem more hostile toward Trump than a
vicious gang that carries out savage killings.”
Last Thursday House
Democrats introduced legislation that would abolish U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE), prompting Senate Republicans to respond with a
resolution of their own.
Just yesterday the House
of Representatives voted for a resolution that supports ICE and explicitly
condemns Democrats’ calls to abolish the agency. The final vote was 244-35-133.
The majority of House Democrats (133) voted “present” in protest of the
resolution. The resolution said calls to
abolish ICE “are an insult to the heroic law enforcement officers who make sacrifices
every day to secure our borders, enforce our laws and protect our safety and
security and allow dangerous criminals to remain in the U.S.”
Democrats called the
resolution a political stunt. It wasn’t
a stunt. It broke the back of the
Democrat Party by getting them on record for voting against supporting the
agency and its vital work in securing the border.
The complete list of
Democrats who voted against the measure can be found here.
In a private meeting
yesterday, Democrats decided just pointing fingers at President Trump and
yelling “In Peach Foty Fie” ain’t cuttin’ the mustard.
What did they come up
with?
Chair of the Democratic
Policy and Communications Committee, Cheri Bustos (D-IL) announced they will
use the new slogan “For the People” in the 2018 midterm elections.
Bustos, who supports
the DREAM Act said, “We have 110 days from right now until Election Day and we
will be spending the month of August in our home districts and we wanted to
make sure we are singing from the same song sheet on the three top issues.”
The new slogan will
accompany a focus on three key areas, according to Bustos: health care;
infrastructure spending; and Republican corruption in Washington.
“Those are three promises
that this president made to the American people that he has not kept. Sometimes
you have to clearly and simply point out how we’re different,” she said. “With
discipline and not being distracted by the outrage of the day, that’s how
people can start hearing us.”
“I don’t think any of
us are claiming this is poetic or this is the end-all-be-all of messaging,” she
emphasized. “It’s just a way, in a quick way, to put together the answer to
what we stand for.”
Oh honey.
If the Democrats win back the Senate, Mark Warner (D-VA)
would take over the Senate Intelligence Committee and would devote its work to
a renewed investigation of President Trump’s alleged Russia ties.
On the other hand, if the party cannot win back Congress in
2018, the 2020 Presidential Election will be a moot point. The message for all of us “deplorables” is
simply this: Don’t get complacent. Campaign against the Democrats up for
re-election. Talk up their challenger,
but of paramount importance─get to the
polls and vote.
UPDATE:Welcome readers of Bad Blue Uncensored
News.We thank Doug Ross for kindly

On May 4, former
Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reichhhhhhhhhh (BTW that's not a typo) cross-posted a piece from his blog to Salon.He began by asking, “Why did working class
voters choose a selfish, thin-skinned, petulant, lying, narcissistic, boastful,
megalomaniac for president?”
Reich is searching for ways
to prevent having “future Trumps as far as the eye can see.” He admits, “Hillary Clinton offered a plethora of
small-bore policy proposals — all sensible but none big enough to make a
difference.If Democrats really want to stop Trump, they will
need to address the causes of Trump’s rise.”
Nine days later, the
Clinton flunky who’s never been right about anything, tweeted the following
account of a phone conversation he had with a “friend” he claims is a former
Republican member of Congress.
If you’re a “deplorable”
like me, you’ll just point and laugh at the little squirt who Rush Limbaugh mocked
for his absurd policies, diminutive 4’11” stature and exaggerated sense of self-importance.
She can’t let go. She
wrote an entire book about it. In India she told an audience that she won in
all the smart, cool places and then hit a pandering low that put everyone in
the Democrat Party to shame.
It was another
"basket of deplorables" — a tone-deaf blunder ─ especially to
Democrats running for election in red states.
At least Al Gore, who lost
to George W. Bush, winning the popular vote in 2000 but losing the Electoral
College went on to grow a beard and make documentaries about the end of Earth. Granny
is living a personal Groundhog Day demonstrating her clear disdain for millions
of Americans.
Sen. Claire McCaskill
is up for reelection in 2018.Earlier
this month she told The Washington Post, "Those are kind of fighting words
for me, because I'm partial to Missouri voters and I don't think that's the way
you should talk about any voter."
She added, “Indeed,
while I yield to no man in my contempt for Trump, it's simply foolish to say
that the cool people in the best states were on your side, while backwoods
bigots and spineless women mainly supported your opponent. Sure, many people
voted their fear and resentment. But you'll never win their support by shaming
them. The average high school basketball coach knows better than to fire up the
opposing team by insulting them.”
In an
interview on MSNBC McCaskill declared, "For those of us that are in states
that Trump won, we would really appreciate if she would be more careful and
show respect to every American voter and not just the ones who voted for her.”
So, what we have here is a typical flip-flop borne of desperation.
Missouri Rising
released an ad on Monday tying McCaskill to Clinton.She was among the first to endorse Granny’s
campaign in 2013, she defended her use of private email while serving as Obama’s
Secretary of State and contributed at least $49,000 to her 2016 presidential
campaign.
Switching from “Madame
President” to “Shut Up Hillary” is a comical exercise in futility.
UPDATE:Welcome readers of GOP
Briefing Room.We are grateful to
Pookie for featuring our graphic of Hillary.
“Sloppy Steve” Bannon
is in serious trouble now that he and President Trump are waging a war of words.
He just may not be very competent.
In the video embedded
below, PJ Media’s Andrew Klavan noted, "You cannot lose Alabama to the
Democrats. It's almost impossible to do and
yet Bannon helped do it."
Let’s be honest with
ourselves here.Roy Moore was embroiled
in a sexual misconduct scandal that raged on for weeks.Before any of us learned of his alleged
mistreatment of young girls we already knew he’d been tossed from office twice
before for his constitutional ignorance.
Klavan postulates the
President bit his tongue for a long time before eventually issuing his brutal statement against Bannon.“Trump is looking forward and
thinking ‘I do not want this guy losing any more of my majority’ in the 2018
midterms.”
Klavan mentions a tweet
from Mona Charen, Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center:
Get a load of this drivel from Niall Stanage White House
Correspondent for The
Hill:
Will President Trump face a challenge from within his own
party in 2020?
Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake (R) seems to think so. On
Sunday, Flake told ABC’s “This Week” that if the president did not change his
approach, he “is going to leave a huge swath of voters looking for someone
else.”
Flake, a frequent Trump critic, added that the president is
“probably inviting a Republican challenge.”
Any challenger to Trump would face enormous hurdles.
The president remains popular among Republican voters, even
as he endures historically low approval numbers at large. In most polls, around
80 percent of GOP voters give Trump the thumbs-up.
Still, Trump would become much more vulnerable if
Republicans suffered major losses in the midterm elections set for November
2018.
And it’s easy to see why some of his most strident GOP
critics might think it’s worthwhile to run against him, even if victory is a
long-odds bet.
But who is most likely to do it?
Stanage thinks Ted
Cruz, John Kasich, Ben Sasse, Jeff Flake and Susana Martinez might entertain
such a challenge.
I like Sasse and New
Mexico Governor Martinez, but Trump mopped the floor with Cruz and the mailman’s
son.Flake is a miserable RINO.Not a chance in hell of leaving the ring
without a broken and bloodied nose.
Republicans are seeking
to unseat an incumbent Democrat in a state Donald Trump won by 19 points.
Joe Donnelly opposed
confirmation of Trump Cabinet nominees Betsy DeVos (Education Secretary), Tom
Price (Health & Human Services Secretary), Rex Tillerson (Secretary of
State), Jeff Sessions (Attorney General) and Steve Mnuchin (Treasury Secretary)
and Scott Pruitt (EPA Administrator).
The week before
Christmas Donnelly voted against the GOP tax reform bill calling it a “partisan
tax hike on Indiana’s middle class” that “does nothing to prevent outsourcing
of U.S. jobs to foreign countries, and it’s a giveaway to Wall Street and other
big money interests.”
The Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act significantly lowers the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, doubles the
standard deduction and doubles the per child tax credit. When Donnelly cast his “No” vote he put his
Party before the people of the Hoosier State.
Data-driven analyses
from three separate nonpartisan organizations: The Joint Committee on Taxation
(JCT), which is an official Congressional scorekeeper, the Tax Foundation (which leans to the
right), and the Tax Policy Center or TPC, (which leans
to the left) all agreed the GOP proposal would, on average, reduce the tax
burdens of every income group in
America.
In September when
President Trump flew to the Indiana State Fairgrounds to rollout his tax reform
bill he had Donnelly onboard Air Force One.President Trump promised in front of the audience that unless Joe voted
for tax reform, “We will come here, we will campaign against him like you
wouldn’t believe.”
In October 2017, the
nonpartisan Center for Effective
Lawmaking,
run by the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt, tagged Donnelly as the least
effective Democrat in the U.S. Senate. Based on 15 different measures, from
number of bills sponsored to number of bills becoming law, the center found
that Donnelly was ineffectual at getting his bills through committee, let alone to
floor votes.
Instead of acknowledging
Obamacare has never worked, that Americans were lied to by Pelosi, Schumer, Sanders
and The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer about costs and options and
results, Senator Donnelly continues to insist Obamacare can be
"fixed."
Donnelly earned the
nickname “Mexico Joe” when a business linked to his family, Stewart Superior Corporation,
profited from outsourcing jobs to Mexico.According to a May 2017 financial disclosure form, he owned $50,000 in
stocks which he sold shortly after The Associated Press
published the story.
Primary elections in Indiana will be held on May 8, 2018 to determine which Democratic
candidate and which Republican candidate will advance to the November 6 general election.Before the May primary however, the Indiana
Republican Party will host their first election year appearance of GOP senate
candidates and conduct a grassroots Straw Poll on January 13, 2018 at the
Congress of Counties in downtown Indianapolis.
“Our U.S. Senate straw
poll will provide political watchers with the first grassroots barometer to
measure early support in this high-profile, statewide race that has national
implications. While our Republican candidates are supporting solutions to our
nation’s biggest challenges, such as taxes and health care, Democrat Joe
Donnelly stands as a roadblock alongside Chuck Schumer and his Democrat party
bosses. I am confident that our eventual Republican Party nominee will defeat
Democrat Donnelly next November─and events like this will help Hoosiers
determine who that candidate will be,” said Chairman Kyle Hupfer.
Confirmed candidates
for this special joint appearance are former State Rep. Mike Braun (R-Jasper),
Mark Hurt (R-Kokomo), Congressman Luke Messer (R-Greensburg) and Andrew Takami
(R-New Albany). Congressman Todd Rokita (R-Brownsburg) is also invited to
attend and participate.
Buckle up for a vicious,
multibillion-dollar fight for control of the Senate in 2018.Up for re-election are 33 senators; 23
Democrats, 2 independents who caucus with Democrats and 8 Republicans.
Only two GOP senators (Flake of Arizona and Heller of Nevada)
are considered truly vulnerable while 10 Senate Democrats up for re-election
in states that Trump won in 2016 can be unseated if we organize to replace them
with a candidate who will work for us─We The People.
Election history has shown the party that controls the White
House almost always loses seats in Congress during midterm elections.It’s
up to us to rewrite that history.
Democrats will need to
pick up three seats to retake control of the Senate. Republicans will need a net gain of eight seats to hit the coveted 60-vote threshold to
break a filibuster.Political experts
are cocksure such an outcome is far-fetched.I believe we can force those experts to eat their words like when Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight gave Hillary a 79% chance of winning the
2016 presidential election compared to Donald Trump’s 20%.
The Toss-Upraces are
Flake (R-AZ), Donnelly (D-IN), McCaskill (D-MO), Heitkamp (D-ND), Heller (R-NV)
and Manchin (D-WV).
The Tilt Democrat
races are Nelson (D-FL), Tester (D-MT) and Baldwin (D-WI).The LeanDemocrat races are Brown (D-OH) and Casey (D-PA).The Likely
Democrat races are Smith who was appointed to replace disgraced Al Franken
(D-MN) and Kaine who was Hillary’s running mate (D-VA).
DEMFAX will be an ongoing feature here at Political Clown Parade
in an effort to keep everyone informed in the run-up to the primaries and the general election.Republicans have been apathetic for far too long.Perhaps with the passage of the tax reform bill
they’ve finally learned how to fight.The
long knives will be out in 2018.Need
proof?
A feminista touted as a legal analyst and CNN commentator noted
on December 22, 2016:
While the year saw the rise of Trump, this is not the
beginning of his term, it is the end. As painful as it has been to watch him
and his supporters rally, theirs is merely a last gasp of a dying world view.
That's what 2017 represents for me: a last gasp by Trump
and the bigoted, sexist, nationalist and greedy forces that propelled him to
power.
[snip]
2017 is the last gasp. Trump's world will
come to an end. In fact, just remove Trump and much of this madness disappears.
And he will be removed. He'll cross too many lines. Hell, he might even be
removed from office. There will be another president. The damage will get reversed─and
Americans, proud of who we really are, will be the ones left standing.
[snip]
The best thing for us to do, as he seems to
lose his grip on reality, is to hold tight to ours. Continue to show up to the
polls, ask questions, demand answers, speak up and step up, run for office.
All the
Democrats have is their deep-seated hatred.They will say “if you hate Donald Trump vote for me.”They have nothing to offer.Nothing.
As I
mentioned above, this will be an ongoing effort here on this blog.We must mobilize and fight back.
The primaries critical to gaining the 60-vote
threshold in the Senate are: Indiana,
Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Montana, North Dakota, Virginia, Missouri, Wisconsin
and Florida.
Twenty Republicans
bucked their party and voted against the health care overhaul on
Thursday.
More than half of the
members who voted “no” are part of the Tuesday Group, a collection of moderate
House Republicans. Nine of the lawmakers represent districts that Democratic
presidential nominee Hillary Clinton carried in November.
President Donald Trump carried the districts of 11 of the members voting “no”,
but all of the lawmakers outperformed Trump last fall.
Fourteen of
the “no” votes are Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee targets.
Five of the lawmakers are also part of the National Republican Campaign
Committee’s Patriot Program, which assists members in tough races.
Andy Biggs – Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona
felt that the American Health Care Act does not go far enough in
repealing Obamacare. “I have opposed the AHCA from the very beginning because
it is not a clean repeal of Obamacare,” he said in a statement. “While I applaud
all the hard work of the House Freedom Caucus, which has made every effort in
recent weeks to improve this legislation, the final bill unfortunately does not
meet the promises I made to my constituents.”
Mike Coffman – Congressman Coffman said he opposed the
bill because it does not do enough to protect those with pre-existing
conditions. “I worry that, under the current language, a small percentage of
those with preexisting conditions may not be adequately
protected,” he said in a statement. “If House Leadership will work to
tighten protections for those with preexisting conditions, I’m a yes on sending
this bill to the Senate for further consideration. If not, I’m a no, and
we’ll go back to the drawing board to clean up the
mess created by the Affordable Care Act.” Clearly, he did not
feel the House ended up doing enough to protect people with pre-existing
conditions.
[TheDCCC has targeted
Coffman for the 2018 midterms]
Barbara Comstock – Congresswoman Barbara Comstock of
Virginia says that Obamacare is in a death spiral, but she’s not convinced that
the American Health Care Act will actually lower costs. “While this bill
addressed important principles like covering pre-existing conditions and not
having lifetime limits imposed on the sick, and reducing costs and increasing
choices for many working families, the uncertainties in the current version of
the bill caused me not to be able to support it today,” she said in a
statement.
[Comstock is a
vulnerable incumbent seeking reelection in 2018]
[TheDCCC has targeted Comstock
for the 2018 midterms]
Ryan A. Costello – Congressman Ryan Costello of
Pennsylvania said that the AHCA doesn’t do enough to protect people
with pre-existing conditions. “Protections for those with pre-existing
conditions without contingency and affordable access to coverage for every
American remain my priorities for advancing healthcare reform, and this bill
does not satisfy those benchmarks for me,” he said in a statement. “I
do believe substantial reforms need to be made to our healthcare system. I will
review any future modifications or legislation with these principles in mind,
but I remain a no vote on this bill in its current form.”
[TheDCCC has targeted Costello
for the 2018 midterms]
Charlie Dent – Congressman Charlie Deny of
Pennsylvania said that the AHCA will leave too many people uninsured. “Too
many people are going to be losing coverage,” he told CNN. “Those are my
underlying concerns. The new revised version does not address those concerns
and that’s why I’m opposed to the bill.”
Dan Donovan – Congressman Dan Donovan of New York
was not a fan of the fact that the bill exempts New York State counties
from contributing to the state’s Medicaid coffers but does not include New York
City in that exemption. “The provision excludes New York City, putting an
unfair and disproportionate burden on City residents to cover the state’s
exorbitant Medicaid expenses,” he said in a statement. “We need healthcare
reform – including promised Medicaid reform in New York where we spend more
than Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania combined – but it shouldn’t be done on the
backs of already overburdened City residents who will undoubtedly have a tax
increase forced on them to pay for this eminently unfair policy.”
Brian Fitzpatrick – Congressman Fitzpatrick of
Pennsylvania said that the bill does not adequately address the opioid
epidemic. “I have many concerns with this bill, and first among them is the
impact on the single most important issue plaguing Bucks and Montgomery
Counties, and the issue that I have made my priority in Congress: opioid abuse
prevention, treatment and recovery,” he said in a statement.
[Fitzpatrick is a
vulnerable incumbent seeking reelection in 2018]
Jaime Herrera Beutler – Congresswoman
Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington said that the bill does not provide an
adequate safety net for kids who depend on Medicaid. “While I appreciate
this week’s effort by Speaker Ryan and his leadership team to better protect
older Americans from health care cost increases, the difficulties this bill
would create for millions of children were left unaddressed,” she said in
a statement. “I’m disappointed that it appears my amendment to strengthen the
Medicaid safety net for the kids who depend on it for their health care will
not be considered. Protecting vulnerable children is a core purpose of the Medicaid
program and when the program fails to do so, it fails entirely. I will not vote
to let those kids fall through the cracks.”
[TheDCCC has targeted Herrera
Beutler for the 2018 midterms]
Will Hurd – Congressman Hurd said in a
statement, “Since the implementation of Obamacare, I’ve told my constituents
that the only meaningful metric when it comes to healthcare is actual access to
quality, affordable care – not just health insurance. While the goal of
Obamacare was to make healthcare more accessible and more affordable, it has
done just the opposite. Likewise, while the goal of the American Health
Care Act was to combat the skyrocketing premiums and outrageous
deductibles millions of Americans face, it too, falls short.”
[Hurd is a
vulnerable incumbent seeking reelection in 2018]
[TheDCCC has targeted Hurd
for the 2018 midterms]
Walter B. Jones – Congressman Walter Jones of North
Carolina said that the bill was rushed and highly flawed, and he added that he
has heard loud and clear from his constituents that they don’t like it. “It’s
time to scrap this flawed bill and start over,” he said in a statement.
“Go out across the country, gather people’s input, and use an open, public
process to thoughtfully craft a bill that delivers the relief the American
people need.”
David Joyce – Congressman Joyce said, “I’m
eager to support legislation that doesn’t reduce funding in the Medicare trust
fund and actually helps lower healthcare costs for the more than 465,000 people
in my district who obtain their health insurance via their employer. Those
individuals, who make up 65 percent of the district, have seen nothing but
higher premiums, higher deductibles, and higher co-pays. We need to find
solutions to help them and their families. The middle class cannot keep bearing
the brunt of everything.”
John Katko – Congressman John Katko said that
he felt the AHCA penalizes states that expanded Medicaid under Obamacare.
He also said he was not convinced it will lower costs. “I’m not going to
vote for a bill where I don’t know what it looks like until it’s done,” he
said, according to Syracuse.com.
[TheDCCC has targeted Katko
for the 2018 midterms]
Leonard Lance – Congressman Leonard Lance of New
Jersey said that the AHCA will not lower costs. “I do not think that it lowers
premiums, and I do not think that it covers enough people,” he told NPR.
“And I read the CBO report, and I think that we have to move forward in a more
bipartisan capacity. For example, I would like to see legislation passed that
says we can purchase policy across state lines. That of course will require
support from Democratic colleagues. And I challenge Democratic colleagues to
come to the table and help repair the ACA.”
Frank A. LoBiondo – Congressman LoBiondo of New Jersey
said that his constituents who rely on Medicare would be harmed under the
AHCA. “Under the current proposal, many South Jersey residents would be left
with financial hardship or without the coverage they now receive,” he said
in a statement. “Our seniors on Medicare already struggle to make each dollar
stretch. Three South Jersey counties have more than 30 percent of their
residents receiving Medicaid assistance. Medical professionals – our hospitals,
doctors, nurses – are opposed.”
[TheDCCC has targeted
LoBiondo for the 2018 midterms]
Thomas Massie – Congressman Massie of Kentucky was
very much opposed to the American Health Care Act to the point that he actually
said in an interview that it’s worse than Obamacare. According to
Politico, he said that the bill relies on “replacing mandates, subsidies and
penalties with mandates, subsidies and penalties.” In late March, he jokingly
tweeted that he was changing his vote from “No” to “Hell No.”
Patrick Meehan – Congressman Meehan of
Pennsylvania said in a statement that the AHCA “threatens to send
premiums skyrocketing for people with pre-existing conditions,” adding that it
will “make coverage more expensive for for older Americans as they near
retirement.”
[TheDCCC has targeted Meehan
for the 2018 midterms]
Dave Reichert – Congressman Reichert just
recently announced that he would be voting against the AHCA. “This bill
although a good attempt falls short,” he told a reporter on Thursday.
[TheDCCC has targeted
Reichert for the 2018 midterms]
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen –
Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen said in a statement, “I will not support a
bill that has the potential to severely harm the health and lives of people in
South Florida and therefore I remain steadfast in my commitment to vote NO on
the AHCA. The recent addition of further funds to high risk pools continues to
be inadequate and fails to cover those who need it most. If enacted, the older
and poorer South Floridians will be worse off and will find it more difficult
to obtain quality healthcare. My constituents should not have to take a step
backward in their ability to obtain treatment for any illness and thus, I will
vote NO.” [Ros-Lehtinen is not seeking
reelection]
Christopher H. Smith – Congressman Smith said that he
opposed the bill because of its cuts to Medicaid. “The overriding concern I
have is the Medicaid expansion being significantly altered,” Smith told
the Asbury Park Press. “It affects so many of our disabled individuals and
families, and the working poor.”
Michael R. Turner – Congressman Turner of Ohio simply
said in a statement that the AHCA would cause many of his constituents to lose
coverage. “After numerous discussions with the White House and the Speaker’s
office, in an attempt to improve this bill, including discussions today, I
could not support the bill in its current form,” he said in a statement.
“This legislation will result in people in my community losing health care
coverage. Therefore, I could not support it.”
Immediately
after Republicans had cast their 216th vote securing passage of the American
Health Care Act, the embittered, infantile Democrats began deriding them by
singing “Na Na Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey GOODBYE.” Several jackasses began waving goodbye implying the
Republicans had just cost themselves their political careers. No, the Republicans who voted "no" are the ones in danger of wrecking their political aspirations.
Americans hate Beltway
politicians for precisely this reason.
