WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump made a personal pitch for his Affordable Care Act repeal bid Tuesday, promising that Republicans who vote against the bill will face political consequences.

With a House vote on the Republican plan set for Thursday, both more moderate and more conservative lawmakers are raising serious objections and questions about whether the bill can pass.

Trump argued that the party’s future ― and by extension, his legacy ― is on the line. And if members did not fall in line, especially the conservatives of the House Freedom Caucus, Republicans would pay a price.

“If the Freedom Caucus kills this bill, which they could, then they will have voted to continue Obamacare, which, as the president pointed out, in 2018 probably means we would lose the House and the Senate,” said Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.).

1. I don't think SCROTUS scares the congresscritters any more.

For awhile it seemed they were cowering in fear of his tweets but maybe not so much any more. If they were smart (that's a big "if&quot they'd distance themselves from him rather than cave to his threats.

2. It's weird to me that this article is written even before the vote

God only knows how the house will vote. Everyone is guessing right now.

5. I know. I'm sweating bullets over this

One congress critter says no, then they change to yes..... etc.

It is safe to assume that it will pass and we need to contact congress!!

I'm off to my senator's office right now.

3. His legacy two months in is already in jeopardy

Treasonous traitors Benedict Arnold thump who let Russia influence our democracy in his favor. That is not "making America great again"

Of course we know the code is "make America white race controlled again" much like what Putin is doing in Russia.

(From the OP)
Rep. Chris Collins:
"This is do or die on Thursday for the Republicans in the midterm election."
