I mean the GOP bitched and complained about Obama Care since day 1, yet they can't even replace the damn thing after multiple attempts? What the hell were they doing all those years when they were complaining? They couldn't come up with a single viable and palatable plan during that whole time? Now that they've shown utter incompetence when it comes to crafting healthcare law, their option of last resort in order to save face is to simply vote on the repeal of Obama Care and have nothing to replace it. What a catastrophe of epic proportions for the GOP. At total egg on their face. This is the greatest piece entertainment of the year.

Default Who cares about the GOP, think of the American people?

Yeah, maybe (the greatest entertainment). It has a lot of competition from the clown-meister's carrot topped schemes. Have a nice "Made in America" week. -From Russia, with love.

The problem is, it's not entertaining for those of us who rely on the ACA for our health insurance.

The GOP voted more than 60 times to repeal the ACA when there was no chance of it ever happening. Why don't they just dust off one of those bills and push it through? It got through easily before. The answer, of course, is that no sane Republican would ever vote for those sham pieces of legislation if they had to actually stand behind them.

The party did nothing but showboat for six years, and they have absolutely nothing to offer now.

This is the most inept political party I've ever seen.

Be patient... they have to figure out how not to trip over themselves first. They are moving in that direction.

This is exactly why it is not entertaining at all. They could be using this time and energy to improve the ACA and make sure that people have healthcare access going forward. Instead we get this clown show.

The big question is, with healthcare failing yet AGAIN, will McConnell and Trump move onto other major issues facing our country?! Can they let healthcare go for not and revisit sometime later? Or will they continue to push their crappy healthcare plan and fail over and over again?

No, the big question is whether or not they will totally repeal Obama care and then we will see who is laughing?

More like a Sci-Fi bad B movie! They have it all--Presidency, House and Senate. It is crazy that they haven't been able to get something passed. These latest tries were both very unpopular. They have division themselves, the Libertarians, Moderates and Regular Conservatives, but I guess they can keep on blaming Obama ! That's getting old fast.

Healthcare, tax reform, infrastructure spending, immigration reform...they will fail at all of it.
It turns out you need leadership and diplomacy to get those things done and the right is sorrily lacking in both. They are now finding out that sitting on the sidelines complaining for 8 years is not a leadership style.
