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%)

ObamaCare will explode and we will all get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE. Do not worry!

He is cynical in letting it "explode" and delusional in that this would somehow make "all" get together and fix it.

Why not just give us great healthcare now?

He had to agree with the GOP and let them fail hard with their plan (mission accomplished) while at the same time scaring the Dems. Then he gets to step in and engineer a Kobayashi Maru gambit at an opportune time and place.  :hmm:

I really wish they would stop trying to kill me like they knew me.  If it was personal, that's one thing.  But I'm not even in the demographics they hate, for fuck's sake.

I also have to post the  :rolleyes:  Some staffer at the DNC didn't like Sanders, therefore it was stolen from him.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Bernie Sanders is the kind of third party wingnut that party national committees are supposed to tap down.  Alas, the RNC doesn't do things that way.  And so here we are.


You know, for all the Bernie Love I keep coming across for somebody who was never a member of the Democratic Party, I have yet to come across anybody that can actually remember him saying something--anything--regarding foreign policy.  Ever.

Whatever his policy were they would have been better then trumps :P

Bernie couldn't have provided health care and he deserved to get fucked over by the Democrats he had been fucking over for decades.  If Bernie wants the Democratic nomination, the first thing he needs to do is become a Democrat.  If he's too pure to be a Democrat, he's too pure to be the party's nominee.

I don't really know enough about Bernie to know why so many here seem to dislike him.  The picture I have of him, which admittedly could be very off, is that he's  eurotype socialist, but people here fear him as a South American type socialist.

The average American is dying with 62k in debt, it might be time for euro socialism.
