They were supposed to leave town tomorrow so they will have to hold it early.

At least that's what I'm guessing will happen.

If they can pass a repeal that won't go into effect until next year, they'll start a ticking clock, and Democrats will have to choose between signing a broken Republican bill pushed by the "moderates", or being accused of not wanting to give people healthcare. The Republican party is to fractured to put in a "replace" without D votes.

They'll probably resort to blaming the "lying media."


There was no vote....we never said we were having a vote....the media is spinning what we said with FAKE NEWS! We never planned to have a vote this soon! We're still working on the bill! The lyin' media MADE IT ALL UP!!!!!!"

[center]Yeah....THAT's the ticket!
