So House leadership suddenly cancelled GOP conference this am. Not a good sign. House R source texts me "such a disaster."

Eliana Johnson‏ @elianayjohnson 1h hour ago

GOP rep texts that leadership just canceled a 9am conference meeting and says that "tells me it's panic time."

I'm not going to lie...I'm enjoying this. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 23, 07:10 8
- Right up until they figure out a way to make just the right level of horrible to pass it. -- nm - Reagen Mar 23, 07:13 4
  - this is what I fear. - Mel Profit Mar 23, 07:22 3
    - I don't agree with the IM. This is what is scaring some of them, they'll have to own it. - ty97 Mar 23, 07:26 2
      - The GOP has masterfully sold vast sections of the country a version of reality that I'm pretty sure doesn't exist. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 23, 07:28 1
        
        The Dems need to, and quick, start laying out a vision of how to help the white working class. (see Atlantic article above). - ty97 Mar 23, 07:29
- I partly am. But I'm also horrified about the real outcomes of a potential solution they could reach. -- nm - ty97 Mar 23, 07:12 2
  - I'm beating a dead horse, I know but...Obamacare was their plan when this came up with Pres. Clinton. - Mel Profit Mar 23, 07:25 1
    - This is a different, darker GOP. The GOP of the 90s wouldn't recognize the GOP of today. -- nm - ty97 Mar 23, 07:26
Why not wait and pass something you want rather then just passing a thing for the sake of passing a thing? - Reagen Mar 23, 07:10 6
- Basically there isn't anything they "want". Some just want it gone. Back to the old days where healthcare wasn't the federal government's problem. - pmb Mar 23, 07:18
- Because it arguably allows some House members to be able to fulfill a campaign promise? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 23, 07:15 2
  - It's almost as if they know they have a fleeting amount of time to do anything with before they're bounced. -- nm - Reagen Mar 23, 07:17
  - They aren't up for reelection for 18+ months. So again, why not wait? -- nm* - ty97 Mar 23, 07:17
- They want to do it on the 7th anniversary of the ACA. -- nm - mara Mar 23, 07:14
- TRUMP WANT WIN -- nm - ty97 Mar 23, 07:11
We keep saying the GOP doesn't know how to govern; they keep proving it. Amazing. -- nm - mara Mar 23, 07:06
The Art of the Deal -- nm - ty97 Mar 23, 06:57 1
- The Fart of the Deal. -- nm - Diva Mar 23, 06:57
This just popped into my head for no reason whatsoever. -- (link*) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 23, 06:56 [youtube]
