Pelosi is a Yes

[bluestateguy]

She is making it clear she dislikes the bill, but as we remember from the health care bill, a yes is a yes and a no is a no. It little matters why. They all count for the same.

1. Paul Ryan at the podium taking victory laps.

"I've been here 13 years, we try it every year, this is the first time we did it".

:woohoo:

2. Quantitatively, yes

But now Republicans who stand with their leader are also standing with Nancy Pelosi. That will cost them some votes.

It's optics. If the D's look more enthusiastic, harder to spin it as a crushing loss for the WH. Pelosi again is there for Obama. Be nice if he ever get/takes the chance to pay her back.

3. Maybe next time he will let her in the room sooner.

4. On the floor she just urged her colleagues to vote yes on the bill but would respect their decision....

if they voted no.

5. I do remember. She sold us CORPORATE healthcare. No single payer, no public option, nothing!

6. They should have given her more time to read the bill that hasn't been written yet.

Before she rushed over the edge to endorse it.

7. She will get bashed for this by progressives but she knows the situation.

Thank you Nancy!

[Renew Deal]

8. She goes along for all of this stuff.

She's always a reliable yes vote for whatever the WH comes up with.
