Whither Obamacare?

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%)

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.

I get it but...it ain't exactly a party here, mate. ;)

Wrong thread. Quick Google shows that is fake news...

I would love to see Donald try to spin this as Ryan's Failure, and Ryan step up and assfuck him with some hardball politics.

Has Ryan reached the breaking point yet? Until now, he's being a Rubio around Trump - mouths off and then eventually kisses the ring.

From what I've read Ryan refused to hold the vote and let Turmp claim he was the one to pull the bill to save face. He and the GOP leadership refused to go through a losing vote just so Trump could write up a Nixonesque enemies list. So the House GOP is already calling Trump's bluff and not letting itself be pushed around by him.

Too bad about that Papa Roach story, given his taste in music it sounded plausible.

No idea what you mean.

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:

Who wrote this script?? Give him all the money, Hollywood.

:lol: :thumbsup:

It was probably an added bonus for the God-Emperor to see this blow up in Ryan's face.

Poor Trump. The first thing he did was call up Costa at the Post to explain his failure away and they stick in the dagger.  :lol:

And they told him to stop it.  Something along the lines of "you are the Machine, asshole."

Doesn't Ryan listen to the lyrics?  :huh: Or is he one of those that only cares for cool guitar riffs?

Americans don't do lyrics.  The Reaganites thought Born in the USA was patriotic.
