Mitch McConnell - when YOU fail but have to get in a jab

“Regretfully, it is now apparent that the effort to repeal and immediately replace the failure of Obamacare will not be successful," he said.






Here's the rest of the story. Their bill is dead so they are going to vote to repeal and then have a 2 year window to replace - that's takes to the other side of the 2018 midterms.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Monday night the Senate will try to separate the ObamaCare repeal and replacement efforts, closing the door on the current GOP healthcare legislation.

"In the coming days, the Senate will vote to take up the House bill with the first amendment in order being what a majority of the Senate has already supported in 2015 and that was vetoed by then-President Obama: a repeal of Obamacare with a two-year delay to provide for a stable transition period," McConnell said in a statement.

The move means Senate Republicans will try to repeal ObamaCare now, while kicking a replacement until after the 2018 mid-term election.

1. I am surprised that McConnell would risk his majority for a pout...so much

for 'master legislator'...18 was seen as a safe year for the Senate ...although I am not sure of that...but 20 could be a wipe out.

2. They will never repeal without replace.

Markets hate uncertainty and the uncertainty in the insurance markets would cause rates to skyrocket. Even group market rates would be affected because they are ultimately part of the same pool.

The GOP isn't that stupid.

4. Come on now DSB

We both know their that stupid...or at least between their propaganda and reality.

I heard the local RW radio guy go OFF yesterday in drive time. "For 8 years....no plan....we've been played for fools...it's like an abusive relationship". The last part had me howling with laughter.

3. But The "American People" Want Obamacare Repealed.....

That's what we'll be hearing today out of the mouths of the Repugs. They will be using their throwaway line that they can't support by poll numbers and no one in the MSM will challenge.
