Rand Paul is still pushing the GOP on their bill, saying that it’s not anywhere “near repeal” because the Obamacare subsidies are greater under it than they were under Obamacare!!
Watch below:
.@RandPaul says GOP bill “doesn't have to be 100% repeal…if you offer me 90% repeal, I'd probably vote for it.” https://t.co/e6ywF7vatq pic.twitter.com/HugHkdkaTF

I cannot believe how badly they’re pushing this bill. It has terrible polling – of course, all the polls are fake, right – and most Republicans just don’t seem to care to defend it. It’s as if it doesn’t matter what the policy is, Trump just wants to pass it by the mere force of his will so that he can declare victory.
There’s plenty of blame to spread here – the GOP was incredibly unprepared for actually replacing Obamacare, while Trump bragged over and over that he had a replacement and he knew how to push it and he knew how to repeal Obamacare in the first day of his presidency. Everyone has failed here. Except me. And you.
