I’m listening to the president speak on television and he’s detailing the various ridiculous arguments the Republicans have used against reform. And with a final vote apparently set for Sunday at 2 p.m., it sounds like the closing argument from the Republicans is: “You better not!”
Mike Pence was on MSNBC the other day and was asked what he would say to Democrats who are on the fence about the bill.
His line was basically, Let’s scrap this bill and start over with something new. Join me! I am Pence-bot! Of course it occurred to me that he was employing the scorpion argument. Give me a ride on your back — I promise I won’t sting you. Seriously, I promise!
