That's like bringing a date to see your wife in the hospital (Hindsight is 2020)

They knew they could only afford to lose two votes and Rand Paul and John McCain were already "no's." Then last night, Maine Senator Susan Collins said she wasn't falling for it. One reason was the CBO score, which technically hasn't come out, but they did release an estimate yesterday showing that "the number of people with comprehensive health insurance would be reduced by millions." Yeah, nothing specific, just millions. –Stephen Colbert

As this point, the folks at the CBO must be so tired of analyzing healthcare bills, they're just free-balling it. "What, a new bill? Yeah, let me run the numbers. Yeah, yeah everybody dies!" –Stephen Colbert

So that's it. It's over! And, "The GOP Is already eyeing the next chance to revive the Obamacare repeal." What! What! Already? Graham-Cassidy isn't even dead yet! That's like bringing a date to see your wife in the hospital. –Stephen Colbert

or as your dog calls it, PTSD Day (black tie, but white guests)

Last night, President Trump hosted the first fundraiser for his 2020 re-election campaign. The event was black tie, but white guests. –Seth Meyers

Today, President Trump met with the newly elected president of South Korea. “Do you speak English?” asked the president of South Korea. –Seth Meyers

This weekend is the July 4th holiday weekend, or as your dog calls it, PTSD Day. –Seth Meyers

there's a serious danger someone might read it (Hindsight is 2020)

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised he will pass Trumpcare before the July 4 recess. And he has got to, because McConnell knows if they don't pass it now, there's a serious danger someone might read it. –Stephen Colbert

Republicans, who were already nervous, ran for the exits after the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office announced yesterday that under the GOP plan, 22 million people would lose their health coverage. That's a big number. To put that number into perspective, if you laid 22 million people end to end, it would reach Canada, where they could get healthcare. –Stephen Colbert

They’re going to make so many documentaries about me (underwater numbers)

These congressmen are nervous because the Congressional Budget Office warned that “Trumpcare” could result in 24 million people becoming uninsured. Trump says the numbers were cooked up by the microwave that’s been spying on him at Trump Tower. –Jimmy Kimmel

In a new interview, President Trump predicted he would pass Richard Nixon for most appearances on the cover of Time magazine. Hey, dude, do you know WHY Nixon was on the cover so many times? “They’re going to make so many documentaries about me. I’ll bet I even pass Charles Manson.” –Seth Meyers

JOKES: Yeah. These mortals, they need so much care (gee willikers)

The GOP’s healthcare plan came out last week and, so far, it’s popular with everyone . . . except doctors, hospitals, the insurance industry, patients, the elderly, Democrats, Republicans, and — what’s the word? — mortals. Yeah. These mortals, they need so much care. –Stephen Colbert

Yesterday, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan went on “Face the Dickerson” to get ahead of the CBO report: “The one thing I am certain will happen is CBO will say, ‘Well, gosh, not as many people will get coverage.’” Well, gosh, not as many people will get coverage, and gee willikers, I need chemo, and cheese and crackers, I can’t afford to go to the doctor, and holy Toledo, I should’ve identified my next of kin, because fiddlesticks, I’m dead!” Doesn’t sound so bad when it’s folksy. Gosh. Golly! –Stephen Colbert
