Putting Lipstick on a Pig

Yes, the vote was pretty impressive by any standard.
Except, of course by the standard of how one passes legislation.

"48 - 4"? How about "0 and 1". 



Trump says the Republican healthcare failure is 'a pretty impressive vote by any standard'


President Donald Trump lamented the inability of Senate Republicans to pass their healthcare bill, but said that coming up short was still "pretty impressive."

"You had 52 people, you had 4 no's," Trump said during a meeting at the White House on Tuesday. "Now, we might have had another one, someone in there. But the vote would have been if you look at it, 48-4. That's a pretty impressive vote by any standard. Yet you have a vote of 48-4 or something like that and you need more. That's pretty tough."

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
