You have to know
the unwritten legislative rules of the UniParty as they have been evidenced for almost 15 years to understand the ruse.
♦ First, the reason a vote, any vote, is “announced”, and just doesn’t take place, is because it provides the controlled opposition time to frame their anti-(fill_in_the-blank) talking points.
This is by design. When a legislative vote is “announced” it is a dog-whistle call out to the institutional lobbyists that
the legislation will be rail-roaded and ultimately fail.
♦ Second, notice how “announced” legislation (remember ObamaCare is a tax) has not been “scored” by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). A vote without a score is a vote that again is intentionally set up to fail. Meaning – the vote itself is an exercise for political consumption only. Potemkin Village legislation,
designed to give the illusion of doing something the electorate demand, while intentionally actually doing ‘the thing’ that K-street demands.
♦ Third, the legislation is sold by a system of Machiavellian-minded “leadership”, as a good thing optically for Allies. Meaning – legislative leadership tell liaisons for vested interests, in this case both the White House and lobbyists are “interests”, to consider the vote a “win”.
Put another way, the vote itself is the “political ends”. The vote is not the means to a legislative outcome that would customarily be considered the actual end goal.
This ObamaCare repeal and replace vote is a nothing-burger.
It is 100% phoney legislation which will go no-where from here.
The UniParty is really good at this vote in-name-only which helps them retain optics with the viewing/voting electorate. ‘Hey we voted’, yea us.
It’s all a legislative ruse. Hundreds of millions have been poured into congress to purchase the original ObamaCare bill and all of the subsequent down-stream consequences therein.
The people who paid that money will not allow removal. It’s really that simple.
