4. Reccing because it's an interesting theory

Not sure I buy it. What I do think is that it's not a coincidence that the 8 who voted for this are not up for reelection. That shows that the Dems know that this "deal" is poison at the ballot box. Still, memories are short and a year is several lifetimes in politics these days. So it seems to me that our only option at this point is to HAMMER and I mean HAMMER (and not politely in case I stuttered) that R's are responsible for healthcare now They own it and it is their fault. I have to say that I enjoyed Jeffries this morning in his press conference calling "Dr." Oz a "rando" and a "joke". I hope he continues to bring that fire because Rs are gonna try to make him the face of whatever BS healthcare scam they come up with.
