step 1: point gun at foot

RedState analysis: Senate Republicans helping to improve healthcare bill for passage.

I warned about this.  It would be very, very hard for Dems to make substantive improvements to the bill without help from Republicans.  It can't pass the way it is, making the best opposition strategy the one which offers the least help in fixing it.

The GOP is on the brink of helping to make the bill just-good-enough for the last Democrat hold-outs to pass it on a party-line vote.  Bad idea.  What are they thinking?

RINO's don't Think.

The Dems have enough problems of their own with division within their ranks. Perhaps they think they can throw more monkey wrenches into the works? That's what I'd hope they're thinking...

I think it's all one party and the presumed differences are mere subterfuge and slight of hand, while progressives keep marching in lock step... LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT.
