1. So tell this greenhorn what "pulling" essentially means

Is it dead for good?

Or is this just a maneuver that buys them more time?

[asiliveandbreathe]

6. Dead of night vote....dunno....

Headline at Huffpo - TRUMPCARE DEAD! - No telling what these evil MEN will do...referring to all those poor excuse for a man, who want NO maternity care..or new born care - essential services...or wellness, - why pay for so-called insurance..

What would happen if everyone cancelled their policy? - Why bother giving them any of our hard earned $$$.....I know, preposterous..but that is where I am at...sorry...

25. House sources reporting it won't be brought back

[elmac]

28. I think its just a postpone until next week

they will probably make more cuts or repeal the whole thing to make the koch brothers happy and get their millions in payouts.

35. Doornail Bill passed away today. Cremation services will be private.

[WinkyDink]

29. Dead. Finis. OUTTAHERE.

[Dorn]

2. What a bunch of weenies

Ryan is letting the White house direct Ryan's work
DT is clearly out of his depth -- forcing a vote that makes no sense.

Weenie men away!

[msongs]

5. out of his depth, perhaps not. telling congress what to do and making them do it is a

moderately powerful power play

[djg21]

3. It always can be offered later,

Or amended and offered. My guess is that it's back to the drawing board to fashion something new.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. It took a year to create the ACA

with many meetings, conferences, hearings across both chambers and in multiple committees, and the complexity of it is such that if you upend it, it would be worse than when it didn't exist.

They can't just throw something together.

[brooklynite]

26. If only they'd had extra time...

Six years should have done it.

[BumRushDaShow]

30. Exactly.

But it was easier being the "party of no".

[JudyM]

19. So saaaad that they weren't able to have their big celebration repealing ACA on its anniversary.

But we can party!

[WinkyDink]

32. No way. NO WAY. Ryan and TRUMP now know this topic is the new 3rd rail.

[mobeau69]

4. Trump doesn't want to be the loser he already is.

[Dorn]

7. Did Obama leave an "L" on the ceiling of the Oval Office?

DT hates losing -- he lost today!

[PassingFair]

14. Wish they had called this "TrumpCare" nt

[MFM008]

8. RYAN

MAGGOT in chief
ARE
weak wet pants losers.

[EarthFirst]

9. Golf & Twitter to follow... nt

[OldHippieChick]

11. I am applauding as I sit

alone in my LR but I think Ryan can hear me.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Stock market dived as vote approached. Now it is rallying. . . nt

[wordpix]

13. lol, when 3:32 arrived I knew it was another "postponement"

Going down here, on immig. and soon to be in jail for treason

[J_William_Ryan]

15. Cowards

Republicans are incapable of sound, responsible governance.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. They really can't do anything right.

Which is good for us.

[WinkyDink]

17. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alternative Facts]

18. Was this the best play?

I know it sounds evil but why not let it pass. Then the deplorables (and all) will feel the pain and revolt against Trump and the republicans. Since it was blocked all the deplorables will still be screaming about the repeal of Obamacare. I say give them the repeal ASAP so they are totaly F**Ked and they can react for for the midterms and end this nightmare.

[elmac]

24. they don't care about what the deplorable voter has to say

they worry about the koch brothers, that is who they work for. Plan 2 will be a full repeal plus cuts to Medicare & Medicaid. They are sneaky fascist pigs.

[WinkyDink]

27. Um..."and all" is pretty significant and NOT a parenthetical.

[Alternative Facts]

43. Um..."and all" is pretty significant and NOT a parenthetical.

So do we wait for something worse? Lets get it over with in the first 90 day. My concern is more time = more republican compromises including the freedom party thus even worse (or none) health care and more corporate bennys. The sooner the deplorables get F**Ked the better. I am willing to suck it up as long as the bang blow everything up ASAP.

[groundloop]

45. Fucking over those of us close to retirement is not the answer

Sure, screwing us all would certainly accomplish what you suggest (waking the public up to what repukes are all about). But why should I 'suck it up' by going back to out of control insurance companies and worse just to prove a point?

[Rustyeye77]

20. " How are we going to give more money to our rich friends ?"

[WinkyDink]

36. Ryan mentioned the tax cuts are next. No need to pretend then, at least not as much.

[disalitervisum]

21. No vote means no one on the record

Not one single congressman now has to commit to anything. It's just what they wanted.

[groundloop]

46. That was exactly my thought... won't have to face constituents and won't be on 45*'s hit list

This was a chicken shit way to weasel out of publicly displaying their failure.

[elmac]

22. we will see if president twit "moves on"

or does something criminally sneaky again like all fascists do when they don't get their way

[WinkyDink]

37. Like what, re: health-care-insurance? He's already moved on, mentally.

[Stuart G]

23. k and r....

To hell with them...but hell is too good for them..whatever the last rung of hell is, that is where they belong

[Adamsmith8820]

31. The people know more about the ACA

I think one positive outcome from the repubs failed attempt at repealing ACA...more people understand how ACA works..positives and the negatives of it. Hopefully this helps fixing anything that needs fixed with it too.

[Skittles]

39. repukes will never help FIX anything from Obama

they hate him more than they love their country

[mwooldri]

41. Which country?

With the way things are going you think some Republicans are more in love with Mother Russia than the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

[SummerSnow]

33. If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch

[furtheradu]

34. HA! Pull THIS!

[Skittles]

38. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

IS HE TIRED OF WINNING YET?

[Historic NY]

40. Instead of fixing what we have they would have been champs...

if your going to commit that much money you could have made what we have even better, now they look like chumps.
They will continue to poke and prod at it until they say see its broken.

[Kimchijeon]

42. I can't stress enough just how HAPPY this news makes me

(I know I am not alone LOL)

[EarthFirst]

44. #alternativewin n/t

[harun]

47. Clownshow can complain about problems but fixing them, not so much
