If RyanCare fails the vote, it may cost him his job

If you understand how chess is played, you make your opponent think you are doing one thing so they make a move to counter that plan and then you set a trap by taking a different approach with a whole 'nother plan.

Interesting. That's also how you set a con. I think we disagree on who is being conned here. For some reason, you seem to want to believe that this establishment billionaire who has a lifetime of using government to get what he wants, is now looking out for your interests. Any evidence to the contrary is dismissed or part of some elaborate plan that will ultimately work out for you. Good luck with that.
 
Yesterday Massie said he wants to help Trump get a second term as President.

He is playing 4D chess, vote him in for 2 terms and then he gets term-limited and can't run anymore- checkmate.
 
I play chess religiously. Played with my father since I was 4, and I play with my son now who is 7. Don't presume to lecture me about strategy. I simply think Trump is a big government hack who actually LIKES the Ryan plan.

I don't think he gives two shits about the Ryan's plan. He just wants to be able to say he got rid of Obamacare. It'll make him a legend with his supporters. Really, if he had his druthers, I think he'd just want a single-payer system like the rest of the big-government establishment hacks.

That's the Occam's Razor explanation. It's pretty obvious he doesn't know what is in the bill, just that it is supposed to repeal Obamacare and has lots of other terrific things like lines around the states.
 
Hey Dannno, turns out RyanCare is a great plan. Oppose the Deep State and call your congressman asking him to support this GREAT plan today and MAGA! :rolleyes:



Or you could do what Massie, Rand, and the Deep State want by opposing this GREAT plan.
If you were a True Believer in His Holiness The God Emperor you would have already received your secret decoder ring which would reinterpret this message to not call your congressmen and also to drink more Ovaltine.
 
Saying only some procedural vote at 8pm . . . Ryan's "Thursday is the big day"

So, Rand was right.

Ryan has indefinitely postponed his 3:30 presser and now Whip Steve Scalise says only a procedural vote at 8 pm.
They don't have the votes.

GOP leaders postpone vote on healthcare overhaul

House GOP leaders postponed a vote Thursday on legislation to overhaul the Affordable Care Act
amid a Republican revolt that raised doubts about the fate of the measure.


Leaders hope to reschedule a vote Friday.

The last-minute renegotiation of the bill spooked moderates, whose trickle of opposition to the bill became a steady stream throughout Thursday. Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), the head of the Tuesday Group, made up of roughly 50 moderate Republicans who remain in the House, announced his own opposition.

I must admit I'm a little sad. I was hoping for a vote and a defeat. This is good, but could have been much, much better!

Man, I'm pissed. I so wanted to see Ryan's little ass handed to him on a platter by Thomas Massie and Dave Brat today. :(


At least Rand was right I guess.
 
I don't see this ever being resolved. You can count on the Scumbag Senate to strip away any revisions that the Freedom Caucus negotiated. Unless I got something in plain, unfettered writing, I wouldn't vote for it.
 
That's the cornerstone to every Trump fantasy right, he is going to fire people for not doing their job, no one in government ever gets fired.

That's precisely why he was elected. Did you ever watch his reality TV show? Why don't you think he will fire anybody? It's like his favorite thing.
