you can be sure the weekend barfalongs will do it

the myth of the death spiralling obamacare has been fostered along for years by the willing handmaidens in exactly the same manner they did during the iraq war run up

anybody gainsaying this groupthink never gets a chance to get their point across

not that the dems, once again, have done much to force their POV down their throats. reminds me of how feckless they were (with a few exceptions) in countering the bs about the top secret hillary email exposure, when that should have been very concisely and easily been accomplished during the campaign. they really screwed themselves by not having a solid front of talking points prepared when the KGOP and media joined hands in putting out the constant false narrative of the faulty email handling

Offer them a superior universal healthcare bill, or a compromise bill which adds the public option to a new version of the ACA. We'd be handing them a way to make good on their repeal and replace promise, and Trump could at least add one positive action to his legacy before he is removed from office

it's finest. Red Herrings,Straw Man Reporting,false equivalency,fake narratives. Did anyone here the real truth about this so called Repeal and what it really does to the Country and it's citizens,not. It was a give away to the Insurance Companies and the 400 riches families in the Country. Peep peep and crickets.
