outstanding analyses above, in my opinion
we are really kicking obamite ass
1. think about it, if the house membership cannot pass the senate bill, how is leadership gonna entice them to vote for THIS?
2. pelosi is gonna ask them all to assent to this rotten reconciliation with its DEEM in the middle while TRUSTING the senate to push THAT thru with 51
3. which, there's NO GUARANTEE harry can ACCOMPLISH this, even if he DOES try
4. the parliamentary problematics of nuke options are prodigious, as we all perceive
5. more to the point, nancy's members know
6. distrust between house and senate is long standing tradition, ie, PERMANENT
7. no way these 50 or so professionals can put themselves out on nancy's limb, praying that harry hurries with the ladder
8. aint gonna happen
9. the DEEM is far less likely to win votes than the SENATE BILL in the first place, that's the point
10. which is why clyburn THE WHIP said this morning what he said
11. WHIPS exist to COUNT heads and twist arms
12. clyburn is the COUNTER
13. and this morning he announces---NOT TIL EASTER
Clyburn says health vote could push past Easter holiday - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
14. that is, not til AFTER easter
15. it's done, dead, deceased, dogmeat
16. and, yes, so astute are my allies and colleagues: ALL THE POLITICAL PAIN from all this---for even TRYING to get thru by DEEM (LOL!) something so DUMB---with no PAYBACK
17. nothing to GAIN for all the PAIN
18. which is why i say, day after day, since at least LAST MARCH---the most incompetent political leadership america has ever suffered
party on, progressives
but, somehow, i feel you don't want to anymore
even you've been asked to go TOO FAR
condolences
obama's such a fool, he delayed his go-to-guam for this
