3. Maths (sic)

At the end of the day every senator will ask himself or herself if supporting Chump Care will make it more likely or less likely they are re-elected.

There are at least fifty one who will answer in the negative.

6. Yep... they going to have to go with the will of their

constituents on something this vital.

Apparently they are giving them an ear and eyeful.

4. I guess hospital, pharmaceutical and insurance lobbyists

have descended en masse and have informed those dumb old bastards exactly what will happen to their bribes, er, campaign contributions if that stinker of a bill passes. Constituents have likely been tying up their phone lines and flooding both kinds of mail boxes, telling them they can kiss their cushy jobs goodbye if any of it passes.

American Health Association
American Medical Association
American Association of Retired People
Catholic Health Association

12. +1 on the dumb old bastards comment.

Any time I think about those stodgy old bastards, like the turtle or grand dragon sessions, I feel my ovaries start to shrivel.

5. Looks as if Trump needs to invite Rubio and wife to dinner again.

7. He isn't saying as much as what he will do as what he thinks his Senate colleagues will do.

8. I see. One thing for sure, Rubio will make his decision based on

political calculations rather than principles.

10. I think most GOP senators would prefer to see it die in the House.

11. Hot potato. nt
