What will the GOP do to Obamacare?

There will be much sturm und drang, but ultimately no concrete action will be taken. It'll still be Obamacare.
5 (13.2%)
They'll attempt to rebrand it and own it, changing a few details, but otherwise leaving it in place.
6 (15.8%)
They'll replace it with something terrific that provides better coverage and cheaper too for the populace.
2 (5.3%)
They'll repeal it without a replacement, leaving large number of Americans without coverage for a significant period of time, perhaps forever.
17 (44.7%)
They'll repeal it with a replacement that screws over some people, but still covers some people significantly and call that an improvement.
7 (18.4%)
Some other outcome.
1 (2.6%)

Total Members Voted: 38

That's just retarded, sir.

I don't think retardation is covered under the ACA. Better hope someone fixes that.
Pre-existing condition?  At least for some people.

Hey Republicans, don't worry, that burn is covered under the Affordable Care Act

That's just retarded, sir.
It's tempting fate as well.  Trump has been a karma Houdini for a long time, pulling out victories just when it seems like his actions have finally caught up with him.  No reason to think that his deal with the devil is about to expire now.

Trump doesn't pull out victories, he simply declares them.  Because he's President, and you're not.

I don't understand.  What exactly were they planning to vote on anyway?  What's that new plan about?

Remove health insurance for one in twelve Americans. Tax break for millionaires. Great plan. Tremendous.

So did the 3 people who voted poll option #1 win this round?

This Republican party is utterly incapable of governing, Jesus Christ  :lol:

2 months in and they have precious little to show for it.

So far so good.
Get through to the elections in 2 years in this way and America is nearly home clear.

The stuff he pulled out on November 8 seemed pretty convincing to me.

Don't worry, Manafort's going to roll on you soon enough, Ivan.

You think he'll live long enough?  :lol:

He's finished.  Administration will implode momentarily.

Your party can't do shit. But sure blame Trump.

They've been on the obstructionist track so long they've forgotten how to do anything else.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

If the Republicans wanted they could just laugh at Trump and pass whatever the hell they wanted. What? No fucking LOLZ about that Spicey?
