The healthcare bill pretty much proves

Trumpcare is going to be disastrous for those in West Virginia who voted for the orange circus barker because he vowed to "bring coal back" while wearing a headlamp. Better enjoy those medicaid benefits while they're still around. At least they can take comfort in keeping their guns! Maybe even a last resort when things get real bad.
Uneducated votes against your own self interests never work out well. Hard life lesson, but apparently it had to be taught.

Yes, medicaid is great for American citizens, just like the great society is too. Nanny state does nothing for humans but make them dependent on something other than themselves. Medicaid is just another government boondoggle that rips off the tax payer. I propose that people on complete govt assistance not be allowed to vote. Why should they be allowed to vote to take money away from hard working americans so they can sit on their asses.
If Trump would have communicated an idea of a plan, then ignorant fools might not have voted for him. But he didn't as he has no clue on much of anything. So, you can't make that statement. It is unknown.
The house takes up legislation first, then the senate, then passes or not, goes to the President for acceptance or rejection.
Maybe you libtards should have put someone up against him that was worth a ****...instead you got behind a 30 year plus politician that never really did anything and who was a terrible candidate...kudos for you dumbazzes.
Well I guess they could do what the Dems did 8 years ago and just ram through a crap piece of legislation with no discussion...and then have the nerve to say "we have to pass it to see what's in it".
Don't ask questions like this Airport. You'll be called an insensitive, selfish, xenophobic, patriarchal, uncaring right wing nut who only wants people to starve to death and die from incurable disease.
There was never any substance to any thing he said, only that the (fill in blank) is horrible and he will fix it with something cheaper/better/smarter. Thanks to the gullible voters, we will now be rewarded with unhinged mayhem.
LOL and Hillary couldn't beat him...what does that say about your candidate? [roll]
Our candidate lost, months ago, your boys are in charge, it is harder to govern than to just say no. The GOP has no legislative plan, just bumbling fools who think yelling loud slogans can take the place of the hard work of Governance. And a rolling smiley face emoji makes you look about 11. Have fun with the GOP healthcare bill, I know I am enjoying the hell out of it.
I don't know if I like the current bill (not law yet) or not - haven't read much about it. I do believe it will not last in it's current state either - that's how government works. Libtards on the other hand rammed a bill through without discussion and simply said we'd have to wait for it to pass before we know what's in it - you prefer that method over discussion?

Clinton was not good. But it doesn't matter because we now have Biff and his unraveling ******** show.
Not to be argumentative, but Bills can originate and be voted on in the Senate first and then go to the House.
Dems were complicit by rigging the primary to coronate Hillary...they rigged the system in her behalf and she still struggled to get there...that should have been a clue that she wasn't a good candidate to run in the general election...yet all the little good soldiers got in line and supported her....and now we have what we have.
Hey Rog - we get it....Clinton and the Dems were awful and it let Trump win last year's election. I don't see how or why that should be used as defense for Trump in the present.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was "proud to endorse" a plan to replace Obamacare backed by Republican leaders in Congress, and called for its quick passage even as opposition to the bill hardened among conservatives.
"It's a great bill," Trump said of the American Health Care Act. "I really believe we're going to have tremendous support."
"I"m proud to endorse the replacement plan."
Sounds like TrumpCare to me.
And he also said the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (although he called it Obamacare) "is a complete and total disaster".....even though he wants to keep some of it's principles, like no catastrophic limits, not denying coverage based on a pre-existing condition and allowing children to remain on their parents' plan until they are 26.
Blaming Clinton for Biff is what they do every third down regardless, kinda like Nehlen's draw play.
Yeah if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle...pop vote doesn't count...all that proves is that she wasn't smart enough to get out to the rest of the country.
If they had put someone else out there then we may not have Trump...yet they were content with the rigging of the primary so she would get coronated.
If the dems had put someone out there better than HRC, they may have won...and we might not be in the current situation...and it was specifically in regard to Bru's post.
Pop vote doesn't win the election, but it does show that there were a lot more people that wanted her than DelusionalDonald.
For everybody that says how wrong the polls were ... they weren't really wrong at all ... they just don't poll by EC votes.
It shows that a few counties in this country would control this country without the electoral college.
It does NOT show that a lot more people wanted her than Trump. That's an assumption that fails to take into account potential suppressed voting of Republican in a state, and areas, where they are significantly outnumbered.
And by the same logic, a lot more people wanted someone other than her.
If my uncle had a ****** I'd call him aunt. Who cares about last year, we should be focused on the present and the future.
Exactly, so what? I said last Spring that the hatred for Hillary wasn't something that could be rationally battled against and that we should run fresh blood. What is the GOPs excuse for letting the lunatics take over and elect the incompetent ***** grabber? You are in charge of all three branches, it ain't on the Democrats anymore, show us what ya got as to Governing style! I hope this ACA replacement wasn't worked on for 7 years, ya'll still playing the base by pretending they give a **** about healthcare for everyone, Buuuuuuut, the President promised a lot! lol
Nothing would make me happier than to see this thing fail and force bi-partisanship support.
Whether a hater or not, there was little doubt that that the people most at risk for cutbacks in government spending voted for Trump. Not sure whether it spoke to their desperate situation, lack of understanding, or the anti-Obama-HRC momentum. Maybe all were factors. Nevertheless, the poorest of the poor white folk voted in large numbers for Trump. As you know, especially in Appalachia where a unusual percentage of residents are suffering a compensated disability from one thing or another, residents voted to end Obamacare.
Evidently you are clueless about West Virginia insurance. AccessWV provided great plans that covered people with pre-existing,people turned down by other plans and low priced plans for people who could not afford other plans. ObamaCare forced them to close.
Sadly the Democrats can see the blueprint is to not help and blame the otherside. If (yuge if) they took back a house, they may be willing to come to the table, but I'm guessing they'd rather run against it in 2020. Circle of suck. Eventually someone will need to be a party of grown ups.
3M more people voted for her than they did Trump ... it does indeed show more people wanted her than him. There's no other way to spin it. Do you think there weren't suppressed voting of Democrats where they are significantly outnumbered? It goes both ways on that.
And however many it was that wanted somebody other than her ... add 3M and that's the number of people that wanted somebody other than Trump.
Not really. Hating on Trump is fun and quite easy to do.
Who's really going to feel the suck are the poor bastards in this broke *** state who voted for this prick because he said the magic word - "coal." They were too stupid and simple to understand that their benefits, which got them and their families by day-to-day, were going out the window as soon as Trump took office.
And however many it was that wanted somebody other than her ... add 3M and that's the number of people that wanted somebody other than Trump.
I agree on both of your points, therefore the notion that this is not an equally divided country is mind bottling (please tell me you at least get the reference).
Hating on Trump is about all you got. You must be one of those "poor bastards" that are to stupid and ignorant and voted for the Democratic Party for decades and decades......talk about stupid....how'd that turn out for our "piss poor state".
