The Senate measure repealing and replacing ObamaCare will likely need 60 votes, almost guaranteeing that it won't be able to pass. [link:http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/343741-senate-obamacare-repeal-replace-plan-expected-to-need-60-votes|

hope you are wrong. But, this is a way out for those scumbags too. They can blame the Parlimentarian and the CBO for thwarting their efforts.

(51,585 posts)Thur PM or Fri. We still must call both Dem and Repub senators before then and follow the scripts provided by Indivisible. Just google Indivisible for the details. MoveOn, Kamala Harris, etc have been emailing me and other resisters to tell us it isn't over. Also protests are planned for Sat throughout the country.

(193 posts)They realize that they will wear this pig and it is now an entitlement for a lot of their voters too. They ran against it and voted 60 x knowing they wouldnt have to actually repeal, and then their criminal activity panned out and now they own it. I could be wrong but McConnell is not stupid and knows a 17% favorability rating for this bill is disasterous for his caucus. As much as he hates the black guy he fears doing nothing after 60 votes to repeal more.
