Bills which reek of the stench of rich-only supporting Republican goals are NOT what's good for this country. This is why these smelly bills weren't addressed in the Senate. The trickle-down stench of those bills shouldn't see the light of day. Now that Republicans control the Senate, this country will be subjected to the stench of these bills, before they are VETOED. It will be two years of Republicans in Congress wasting the taxpayers time and money, without getting a damn thing done for the benefit of all, not just the rich.
The GOP has been nothing but an obstructionist party. Dems must emphasize this going forward.
The non stop ignorance of many on the left is astounding..
The Senates job is to reconcile those bills and send them back to the House..
Well, 50 of them were bills to repeal some or all of Obamacare. If the others were along the same vein I would imagine the senate would let them rot. A relevant, well crafted piece of legislation with at least SOME bi-partisan support probably got action in the senate. Most of the stuff the house threw out there was just chest thumping meat for the wing nuts with no chance of going anywhere.
Harry Reid and harry reid alone is fully responsible for not bringing bills to the floor.
Well then I am sure we will see a flood of right wing bills flying off McConnell's desk and onto the Senate floor to be voted on without any concern for filibusters now. And I am sure you will be blaming McConnell when that doesn't happen.
This is gonna be a funny year on city data watching right wingers figure out who to blame.

Please return to 4th grade..
Fail.... Even though reconciliation did not exist when I was in the 4th grade, its a process for budget bills. Not for most of the legislation thrown up against the wall recently.

If Other House INTRODUCES AMENDMENTS, and disagreementarises, differences will be settled bythe Conference Committee of bothhouses
Why didnt Reid send them to conference to amend?
That's not reconciliation. Why would senate trigger conference committee by amending a bill to overturn ACA? Would be stupid and a waste of time, better to just let it die. The only reason it was even sent in the first place was so the the other side pound their chest and say "we are trying to overturn Obamacare".

If they are as bad as you claim, with not one scintilla of data to back it up, why would ole harry NOT give them to the respective committees to kill them since the dems CONTROL every committee?
All they have to do is ask for vote from the committee. being they hold the majority of votes they would have no problem voting them down.

Why is harry so afraid to do this?
Maybe its to say "If you want expend the time and resources of the senate on your bill, then send us something that at least has a chance in hell of ever passing". 50 times is a bit tiring wouldn't you say?
