Trump and Republicans can't get it up

House Republicans shy of votes to pass healthcare reform: lawmaker

The head of the U.S. House of Representatives Freedom Caucus said on Tuesday that Republicans still lack the votes to pass a reform bill to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system.

Representative Mark Meadows of North Carolina, who heads the conservative caucus that helped block passage of the previous Republican healthcare bill, said Republicans were still "a handful of votes away" from being able to pass a reform bill.

Top aides to President Donald Trump have predicted the House would move this week to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system.

They are afraid even to have a vote, so afraid are they for 2018.

And yet they have to pretend to be determined to repeal the ACA, because they spent years lying about how bad it was. Now they have to lie about their lies.

It's theater.
