Let the Tweets Begin....Updated!!!!!















We were let down by all of the Democrats and a few Republicans. Most Republicans were loyal, terrific & worked really hard. We will return!

As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!

With only a very small majority, the Republicans in the House & Senate need more victories next year since Dems totally obstruct, no votes!

The Senate must go to a 51 vote majority instead of current 60 votes. Even parts of full Repeal need 60. 8 Dems control Senate. Crazy!

9. "Loyal"? The representatives of both Houses....

do NOT work for YOU. They're elected by their constituents to work for THEM, that 'we the people' part of the Constitution, and their loyalty 'should' always be with US... not Corporations, not Russia, not a political party and certainly NOT YOU.

Unlike the majority of Republicans and YOU, Democrats would be happy to back a healthcare bill that actually helps and serves the majority of their constituents well and that would truly help make this country an even better place to live... like oh say... something similar to the great healthcare systems that Great Britain, Australia and other advanced nations offer their citizens.

But that's not saying much. I don't remember Charlie always being such a bonkers buttwipe but I can easily remember Trump always being big stinking pile of a gold leafed caca de porc.

20. Blatant lies

Doe not need 600 vote yo pass. It only needs 50. Which is why Republiklans could only lose 3 votes. I guess it's better than saying Republiklans can't get their shit together and pass their own legislation.
