T. Ryan On MSNBC Doesn't Want To Talk About How Bad The Health Care Bill Is

[Me.]

Today, he wants to talk about jobs which is fair, but the health care bill is what is front and center on this day and is excruciating cruel, even for people in Ohio. And when challenged about saying Pelosi is toxic he's dialed back.

1. Ask him how many healthcare provider jobs will disappear with Medicaid cuts then...

Fuck these monsters right in their fucking guts.

Dismantling Medicaid hurts more than just the patients...there are a large number of VERY underpaid healthcare providers in nursing homes and rehab centers that are going to be similarly displaced as the patients disappear or become concentrated in urban centers far from the exurbs or rural areas...

Just another example of how the rural people who fell for Trump's bullshit are the ones that are going to be hurt the worst by him the GOP...

2. Excellent Question

Bet Nancy would know

[bdamomma]

3. those rural people will be hurting badly

and who will bail them out, the blue states?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. that's why he can't be leader. he can't make any case that is not jobs

and people have multiple concerns.

A one trick pony if i ever saw one

[LuvLoogie]

5. And he won't break it to Ohioans that they screwed themselves.

13. It's as if he learned nothing from the 2016 primary. One issue voters with acute tunnel vision....

didn't perform well in vast swaths of the country, especially here in the South. Of course economic issues should be right at the top, but they shouldn't there alone, there are so many others.

"One trick pony" indeed.

6. This is a life-and-death issue for millions. Which side is he on?

[BainsBane]

7. He is not a liberal or a progressive

He is considerably to the right of Pelosi. All this clamor for "new" is vapid. Just because someone is "new" doesn't make them better. That's how we got Trump.

[JCanete]

9. I think we can agree whether we were in the Sanders Camp or the Clinton camp, or whether we're

moderates or far-left, that we don't want this guy over Pelosi. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not sure what he's selling that's worth buying.

If people want to proffer up a challenge to Pelosi I'm all ears, and I might support a different candidate(as if it matters who I support), but I agree promoting someone "new" is dangerous. That's the kind of shit people fall for when they vote "all the bums out." That always works in favor of the people with deep pockets...getting rid of entrenched, popular politicians in favor of a new flavor of the month.

[BainsBane]

10. Yet he has been the focus

of efforts by many who call themselves progressive.

I owe you a PM. I've been distracted of late.

[Me.]

11. Saw This On Another Thread

Ryan says he will work with 45. (credit goes to Demsrule 86)

I'm sure those people at Boeing thought 45 would keep their jobs here.

WASHINGTON -

One day after winning reelection to his eighth term, Valley congressman Tim Ryan says he stands ready to work with Donald Trump.

Ryan, who in July told the Democratic National Convention that Trump has been “stabbing workers in the back for years,” issued a statement congratulating the President-elect on his victory over Hillary Clinton.

8. We would listen to him if he had anything to say....

A great leader is not appointed, but is the one in the back saying,...."come on now--we can do it"
