Stirewalt: Health Care Bill Like ‘Castor Oil’; Nobody Really Wants to Take It

‘The president just wants something to sign and he wants something that will prevent the explosion in the individual market next year’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STIREWALT: "The argument here is all we have to do is take this one politically damaging vote and then on the other side of this, we will get into a space where we can start amending the bill an making deals. All of the training and all of the back room stuff, all of that sausage making that people hate. But that’s the part that actually works to get legislation passed in the Senate. Once they agree they were not going to repeal ObamaCare, then basically the house came to that conclusion first. Now the Senate has had to come to the painful collusion for Republicans. That’s never going to happen. The president just wants something to sign and he wants something that will prevent the explosion in the individual market next year and the Republicans can at least say they did something. They say give us this first vote, it’s gonna hurt, but then we can help you out."
