Democrats on the Twitters are losing their minds over this procedural vote in the U.S. Senate. Yes, you read that right. It’s just a procedural vote in the U.S. Senate to allow debate over the attempts to fix Obamacare, which is badly, badly broken.
Here are a few examples of the utter nonsense that Democrats have vomited all over social media today:
I’ve been in politics for 25 years. Today was as ugly as anything I’ve ever seen. Not enough synonyms for “craven”. #copolitics

Perhaps Laura Chapin missed the vote when Obamacare was voted in without a single Republican. That was ugly and had terrible implications. Can someone please get Laura Chapin another cat? Obviously the 15 she already has are doing nothing for her chill.
.@SenCoryGardner, you had a chance to be a hero today, instead you lied and betrayed #Colorado, we’ll remember this. #copolitics#cosenpic.twitter.com/TJ2aXpLW9T

Seriously? So, now public discourse is a bad thing? Debate is a betrayal of constituents? In Colorado alone, some insurers are projecting a 41% rate increase. That’s on top of the obscene rate increases over the past few years and on top of the half a million who have been dropped from insurance as a result of Obamacare. Have we so soon forgotten the incredible damage that Obamacare has wrought on our families here in Colorado?
Gardner and the rest of the U.S. Senate were 100% correct in calling for a debate of the bill. Obamacare has been toxic and we can’t fix it if we can’t debate the issues – and the left clearly doesn’t want this to go to debate because they’re going to have to answer for some very bad outcomes.
