All this some republicans voting "no" stuff is a ruse. They always stuck together and are in lock step. The election of trump is a perfect example. Once this passes it's going to make trump look good because he "closed the deal"

(26,060 posts)The senate will be another story. They're going to make this so noxious to pass the house, senators in blue or purple states will never support it.

Oh, and Trump's still a traitor. Not that that has anything to do with the healthcare bill, but I'm going to point that fact out as much as I possible can.

(10,437 posts)and there are smart conservatives in the house that understand the impact on their chances in 2018....I hope like hell the House votes and passes it...as now we have all the conservatives on the record for destroy healthcare for most of america...2018 will be their annihilation for sure
even when they law won't go into effect at all...or won't until 2018 or 2020...it will be the campaign issue of 2018..with 100 million pissed off voters at conservatives

(17,235 posts)then make it appear that the legislation will not pass; then in the 12th hour pass the legislation with much fanfare, backslapping and cheering about how great and wonderful republiCONs are. I'm afraid the healthcare legislation will pass late tonight screwing the American people royally.

(30,481 posts)I believe it passes the house but does not become law. And I believe it passes the house not because they walk in lock-step, but because it's too easy to buy off five or six house members.
