NO VOTE! -- TrumpCare Bill FAIL

The White (Supremacist) House has announced that the "American Health Care Act" (TrumpCare) will be pulled from the House floor without a vote because it lacked the votes in the Republican caucus to pass. As a matter of fact, it's being reported that, as time passed over the last 48 hours, more Republicans were opting to vote "no" on the dystopian bill.

Speaker Sneaker of the House Paul "Lyin'" Ryan and neo- fascist dealmaster Donald "Rump" Trump will be making statements this afternoon.  We have a musical accompaniment for those statements right here.

BONUS: Just finished listening to Ryan's cavalcade of lies about Obamacare. His veiled threats about Dems wishing Repubs had passed something to "save them" from Obamacare coincides with this forecast from Ezra Klein:

The AHCA's failure is good, but the fact that the Trump admin will now be trying to sabotage the ACA for negotiating leverage is bad

You can bet your ass that Trump, Ryan & Co. will be doing everything they can legislatively and administratively to continue to sabotage the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) now that their pile of shit has gone down in flames.

Vote On Obamacare Repeal Postponed (UPDATED)

Despite saying the vote on the Republican bill to repeal Obamacare would happen today regardless of whether they had the votes to pass it, the Republican leadership just announced it was postponing the vote.

Because they didn't have the votes. In. Their. Own. Caucus. The problem being, one part of the Republican Party is o.k. with dropping 24 million people from health insurance coverage, while an opposing wing thinks that not nearly cruel enough.

Meanwhile, time for more expert negotiating and arm twisting from the master of the deal?

Trump has increasingly come to own the health care proposal, even making a direct pitch to members during a closed-door meeting with House Republicans on Tuesday. The continued opposition to the bill may be the first signal that Trump’s political capital doesn’t run very deep in the House GOP conference, and that Republicans, particularly conservative Republicans, aren’t afraid to cross the president. 

Trump's winning so much, he's maybe getting tired of winning.

UPDATE: The Congressional Budget Office scored the latest version of the abomination and, surprise!, it's still as vicious as the first bill:

The score by the Congressional Budget Office projects federal deficits would be lowered by $150 billion over 10 years but still projects that 24 million more Americans would be uninsured by 2026 than under the Affordable Care Act. A previous version of the bill would have reduced the deficit by an estimated $337 billion by 2026. The analysis comes as House Republicans continue making changes to try to line up enough votes to pass the bill.

UPDATE II:  The Giant Toddler is "done negotiating" with his Congressional Republicans and wants a vote on Friday. Waaah!
