Sen. Gardner still has not taken a position on what should happen in the Senate of 2017. Instead, we are left with various positions he's taken in the past, his vague statements of "studying" the drafts of 2017, and various facial expressions while standing next to Sen. McConnell.
I've written frequently. The auto-response says "I appreciate hearing from you and knowing what issues are most important to you. I ask for your patience as we work to respond to the high volume of mail my office receives each day and will get back to you as quickly as possible." Apparently, what is possible is an occasional email full of platitudes and assertions such as "It is vital that any health care plan offers states the flexibility they need, while also ensuring stability for Colorado’s sickest and most vulnerable patients. This is why we must reform our severely broken health care system."
Now that the legislation appears to be dead, Sen. Gardner may never have to clarify what he prefers.
No John…he may yet get the chance to gratuitously vote on repeal and replace later bill. Rand Paul and McConnell still want a recorded vote next week.
Hmmm. Cory isn't wearing his multmillion dollar Senate pin. Must have lost it at a town hall meeting
That's 'Chiseled Cory' from the last election cycle before he got his pin. The recent photo ops from his extensive western slope Town Hall meeting extravaganza seem to indicate he's lapsed back into his 'eastern Colorado look', the one most of us sport in the rural hinterlands. Those 9-course meals at Mar-a-Largo and the Broadmoor – and the extra scoop of ice-cream he's getting from the White House for being a good soldier, appear to be catching up with him.
Ahhh . . .
. . . the "lean and hungry look", that comes from sniffing around potential donors to talk with.
How dare our opponents spike the football.
Now we know what his face looks like under the smile.
Here's his angry face when he's attacking environmentalists in a friendly setting with his Fossilonians buddies.
That video always makes me a little nauseous.
You and I know his audience there…I am surprised he didn't get a little dewy-eyed for the good, oil loving, salt-of-the-earth type patriots he is addressing…after his righteously indignant rant, of course.
I am justifiably proud that one of the "radical environmentalists" to whom he refers is your humble servant.
I am sure you are on that list, too, Michael.
Proud to be standing side-by-side with you, Duke!
When he says,
people not using Republican math hear "it's a Ponzi scheme".
Last line of article is false. There are plenty of Trumpettes who will believe his lies. Getting to 50.1% is going to be his biggest problem in the next three years.
That's the look of a Yuman right after Wray has beat them in football.
or after he finds out those crop circles were not made by the high school kids doing donuts in their neighbor's field.
Maybe now Moldy Anus can explain how just repealing Obamacare BENEFITS Americans who lose their healthcare due to said repeal.
It'll be interesting to see how the Post editorial board spins Gardner's deplorable behavior regarding this abomination of a bill into the greatest acts of political courage in human history.
I'm hoping after the dust up with disabled protesters at his Denver office and their response, that they're done carrying his water.
It'd certainly be nice if some good came out of that ghastly mess. I reckon its up to us to ensure that memory of those incidents persists through Gardner's reelection campaign.
Today's DP editorial is back to pushing Mike Coffman who is proposing the usual GOP BS:
1. Medicaid block grants — that way, we can cut federal Medicaid dollars by pushing it onto the states, so when people lose coverage, it's not my fault
2. Cut Medicaid Expansion funding ratio from 90/10 to 50/50 so when states have to balance their budgets by cutting Medicaid, it's not my fault
3. Push the taxes funding ACA over to the general "tax reform" bill, so when we cut taxes and funding for ACA, causing Medicaid and individual policy holders costs to skyrocket, it won't be my fault
4. Healthcare "Reform" — We in the GOP have taken several steps to sabotage the ACA, destabilizing many markets, killing funding for the risk corridors, etc. Let's see if we can rope the Dems into taking the blame by dangling a carrot in front of them that we're actually serious about fixing any of these issues, but actually just cutting taxes again for our benefactors.
