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%)

They've been on the obstructionist track so long they've forgotten how to do anything else.

So true.  The only thing that would make this clown car more fun to watch would be if they went all Taiwan Parliament.

I could think of lots of ways this might be more fun. Like if the Republicans were not completely useless fucks. These guys make the 1990s Republicans look like the Founding Fathers.

You guys survived bad politicians before, you'll be fine. Lay back and think of England for a few years.

The Trump Administration is likely going to have to administer Obamacare for the rest of its tenure :lol:

Congressional Republicans voted multiple times to repeal Obamacare under President Obama and have voted 0 times under Trump and they've already given up  :lol: :lol:

It'd be funnier if you weren't such a large part of the world economy.

I am doing my best to not pay attention.

But I guess  should point out the last time we had really bad politicians running things a civil war broke out.

The pro-corporation, corruption, and overall buffoonery makes me think of Harding.

The Congress was basically sound though. We returned to normalcy.

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.

They've driven to the wilderness any Republican politicians smart enough to create Republican policy, rather than just wailing about Democratic policies.  Any moron can obstruct, and the more moronic you are, the more you fix on obstruction.  Of course they obstruct the Republican administration; it's the only trick they know.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Did the axing of the coverage mandate go through?  If so, there's almost a guarantee that it will "explode".  I know it was debated and the process was at least started to eliminate it, but I don't know if the final effort was tied to the passage of Trumpcare.

Nothing went through. Zilch.

Good to hear.  Is there any way they can do that independent of repealing the ACA?  That is definitely a way to make it all go to hell, which seems to be their continued game plan.  I mean, it's more of a continuation of break the system and refuse to allow the government to work or operate that they've been running with since Obama was elected.  It has been remarkably successful so far I must admit.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
