Jake Sherman: Straight Repeal of ObamaCare Is Not Going to Pass

‘I don’t know whether it’s a bluff or not, is not going to pass the Senate or the House’

EXCERPT:

SHERMAN: "It’s not going to pass. I'm not sure whether it’s a bluff or not, it's not going to pass the Senate and it's not going to pass the House. At some point here, everybody needs to get — join reality and figure out something that can pass. I don’t mean that in the pejorative way, but repeal straight up. The reason Republican leaders didn’t do that was because of outside pressure and it wasn’t going to pass. So at some point, there needs to be a meeting of the minds about what should happen. Republicans proceeded on a path without Democrats. When the President says Democrats obstructed, that’s not true. Republicans chose the mechanism that didn’t require Democratic support."
