GOP Senator: Repeal Bill May Put House Republican Majority 'At Risk Next Year'

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said on Sunday that House Republicans' bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act "cannot pass the Senate" and that Republicans will put their majority in the House "at risk next year" if they vote in its favor.

"I would say to my friends in the House of Representatives with whom I serve, do not walk the plank and vote for a bill that cannot pass the Senate and then have to face the consequences of that vote," Cotton said on ABC's "This Week."

He said that the bill "probably can be fixed" but said it will "take a lot of carpentry on that framework," referring to White House budget director Mick Mulvaney's comments earlier Sunday.

Mulvaney called the bill "a really nice framework" but said that the White House is "open to talking about" modifications.

1. Interesting priorities, dontcha think?

Not "millions will lose care and most others will pay more."

Nope, what really matters is Repub control of the House.



Of course, a Dem Congress just might impeach his Big-ness.

Also of course, a Dem controlled congress has never impeached a Pres yet.

First time for everything.

4. I doubt it.

Conservative voters are in full self-destruct mode and the repubs still have 19 months to dis-enfranchise the rest of us.

5. You would be wrong ... this shitty health care will cost them seats and maybe a majority.

6. Let's hope so.

But belief in the Big Lie is pretty strong.
