Whoa. Talk about getting the wrong end of the stick.... The ONLY reason RunningMan is talking about preserving Medicaid is because he can read a damn poll. All of them show that tampering with earned benefits [Social Security, Medicare, veterans benefits, and Medicaid] is political cyanide.

The 'conservatives' who voted against the BBB only did so because the funding cuts didn't go far enough. They're no heroes. And they'll eventually cave to pressure from Johnson and Trump just as they always do. And FTR, there are no 'Reagan republicans' left in congress. JHC!

You must not know how to play chess. The reps I mentioned, Don Bacon, et al very well could be our salvation.

Before you can get to the queen, have to move (and lose) some pawns.

I assume that behind the scenes, Jeffries has been speaking to them, especially Mike Turner, R. OH, the jilted former chair who knows more about intelligence than anyone on the current committee.
