Just a few hours after it began, a revolt by a handful of senators opposed to voting on a “skinny repeal” of Obamacare they don’t want to become law fizzled out.
Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC), one of the ringleaders of the short-lived revolt, said around 9:30 p.m. ET that after speaking to House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) by phone he was convinced the House would agree to go to conference with the Senate to hammer out a bill.
“He said he doesn’t believe the skinny bill is good policy or good politics,” a weary Graham relayed to a large gaggle of reporters. “He doesn’t want to be the party that repeals part of Obamacare and leaves most of it in place. Paul sees the skinny bill as a vehicle to find a better solution.”
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), another member of Thursday’s brief mutiny against the bill, was similarly won over by these promises. Asked if Republicans now had the votes to pass the “skinny repeal” bill, he said cheerfully: “I hope so. They’ll probably have mine.”

Maybe Ron Johnson and Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, should go back and look at how the Congress is suppose to be run, they have abdicated there roles to be completely assured that they are incompetence to in office.
Maybe just maybe they should read the Framers Coup
What these jerks have done is completely bastardized the United Sates Government
