What's wrong with owning a success story? Of course we'll own it. Are you saying it's got problems?

I know. The ACA was, is, a disaster. I'd prefer it collapses on its own. Maybe people will learn a lesson.

Where is the GOP PLAN? The Republicans talked a lot of trash. They were supposed to come up with something TERRIFIC.

WHERE IS IT?

The Republicans control the House, the Senate AND the White House.

WHERE IS IT?

Do you feel that way because McConnell refuses to eliminate the filibuster for legislation (the GOP doesn't have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate) ?

I'm not a Republican. I really am curious if that is why you hold that view.

The filibuster don't fix a party that can't fully come together to make legislation. The Republicans are failing to compromise enough within their own party.

Republicans don't have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. Do you think McConnell should eliminate the filibuster for legislation? If he did, it might be 'Katie bar the door', and that door swings both ways.

Republicans could only lose 2 votes of their own which they did. Dems have nothing to do with this.

Doesn't is correct, not don't, and actually, we'll never know for certain if they would have come together or not because McConnell didn't go down that road.

No offense, but I was asking GW, and I'd like to know why he holds his stated belief.

Re the bolded....AnesthesiaMD is stupid? Sure you don't want to rethink that statement?
