As such, he fully supports it.

In a call with Iowa reporters Wednesday, Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) said he could cite “10 reasons this bill shouldn’t be considered” on policy merits alone. On top of that, McConnell is still short of the votes to approve the proposal — “and I don’t see those other one or two votes coming,” Grassley said.

Why consider a bill that is bad on policy and won’t pass?

“Republicans campaigned on this so often that you have a responsibility to carry out what you said in the campaign,” Grassley said.

Tillis and Grassley are part of an outspoken majority in the GOP caucus who want to go full-speed ahead, consequences be damned.

I think it's gonna pass. My life is over at that point from a financial perspective. Which means I'll never get credit again.

Tentative plan is rack up tons of fucking debt, enough it'll be felt and end things. Fuck them.

Bill sucks, they know it sucks, most americans don't want it, it doesn't even solve the problem anti-obamacare people wanted gone, it just seems to dick over anybody not rich or an insurance company and it still can fuck the rich because it gives the ICs the ability to charge whatever they please. So even people who don't have to worry about dying will still be nickle and dimed by this, so just who is it for? The screaming supporters who just want "obamacare" gone no matter what?

But we have to get rid of Obamacare, even if that means replacing it with something objectively worse!

I don't find it comical at all, I am sick of this debate

I'm not sure they have two firm no's either, I guess that's Collins and Paul but Paul will play ball. Unless Murkowski has come out against it in the last day or two and I missed it.

i can't find the source that indicated that now, so i'll retract the statement until i can

that he was the one tasked to do it definitely suggests it's related to getting mccain on board though

They're currently in the process of alternating between trying to bribe Murkowski and making more threats if she doesn't vote for it, so my guess is that she's another nay as well.

our national partners are saying they are confident we can beat this again but it sounds more like rallying the troops than actual confidence

the vote won't be until Wednesday because of the senate race in alabama, though
