Just read the news that Mitch has delayed the vote on the BCRAP until after the July 4th holidays. Which is not in itself ironic. The irony was finding myself wondering if McConnell had deliberately crafted a bill that would fail to "repeal" Obamacare, while providing political cover to Republican Senators for that failure. The moderates can go home and blame it on the conservatives, the conservatives can go home and burn the moderates in effigy. And a good time will be had by all.

What if they really don't want to do this horrible thing, but feel trapped by eight years of lies and bitter rhetoric and blood oaths into at least going through the motions?

Am I delusional, or what?
