Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell apparently doesn't think much—or anything—of the big "repeal now" idea popular vote loser Donald Trump has decided to sign on to. He's in Kentucky, and from there had his Communications Director David Popp release this statement.
Member discussions and calls are ongoing within the Conference and Administration as staff continues their work. Leader McConnell is back in Kentucky and will be fully engaged during the State Work Period."
So the big contribution to the debate from Trump (and Sens. Ben Sasse [NE] and Rand Paul [KY]) isn't worth even acknowledging or commenting on, and also too, there won't be a bill going to the Congressional Budget Office for a score today, as McConnell had planned.
This is a definite setback, but that doesn't mean we can let up in the pressure. Keep calling, and since at least some senators will be going home, show up at their offices. Particularly Mitch McConnell's, since we know he's home.
We delayed Trumpcare—for now. But the GOP leadership is hell-bent on denying health insurance, and is working hard to coerce Republican senators. We need three Republicans to stand firm. Call your senator at (202) 224-3121 and tell them “NO DEAL.” Then, tell us how it went.
