Nancy Pelosi is right. The Targets on the backs of GOP reps voting for Trumpcare will glow

in the dark.
As more info comes out on their bill and the CBO score will eventually be released, they will regret this vote more than any other they ever made before.
Now it's up to us to make them pay for it at the ballot box in 2018.
Messaging and marketing on this issue will be vital in the 2018 mid terms.

I hope not and will do everything I can to help but no confidence in them lately. The plan seems to be let the Republicans hang themselves. And that's it. I fear it won't be enough in today's 2 minute attention span and news cycle.

I've said it a million times. The reps are shameless, ruthless, and stick together like a pest.

Please someone on the left come up with a "playbook" that will help us get the country back telling us what to do from the local level to the house and senate. Something that will keep us motivated before the reps keep implementing their destructive agenda.

Remind the American people of this vote, what it actually does/would have done if enacted, and who supported it.

Republicans are very good at lock step messaging.
