Tillis isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

When he took office he said businesses faced too many regulations. One of his 'master' plans to reduce regulation was to say restaurants should be free of the regulation to require employees wash their hands after using the rest room and he went on to say they'd then be required to post a sign saying their employees weren't required to wash their hands.

What a genius , replace one regulation with another and claim you're reducing the regulatory burden.

On a more serious note, putting politics aside, I hope Senator Tillis is ok. He might have had a heart attack based on news reports saying that he was given CPR. Praying for him to be ok.

Maybe he comes out of this and decides that pre-existing conditions protections should be required at the federal level and not decided by the states.

Nah, Congress, smart little weasels that they are, exempted themselves from TrumpCare.

So, he criticized Trump. Trump is an adult.

Sheesh.

Weird reason to wish ill on a person.
I don't wish him ill will...just don't care what happens...He isn't worth me caring what happens to him.

Tillis has reportedly tweeted from the hospital that he's fine.

Good point unless the Senate votes themselves an exclusion like the House did...

I don't have a lot of sympathy for the man. He was a weasel among weasels when he was the Speaker of the North Carolina General Assembly and never really showed he gave a rat's pahtoohie about anyone or anything that didn't help his political advancement or his benefactors.

I hope he has an acceptable recovery followed by his Senate resignation.
