Washington (CNN)Conservative senators hoping for changes to the Republican health care bill emerged from a meeting at the White House Monday afternoon disappointed, with Sen. Mike Lee describing the meeting as "terribly frustrating."

Lee, a Utah Republican, and other conservatives were making a last-minute pitch to Trump officials and House leaders to revise the bill. But the White House made it clear the bill is closed, a Lee aide said.House Republicans are preparing for a vote to repeal and replace Obamacare Thursday.

President Donald Trump will personally rally the troops Tuesday morning, attending a closed-door House GOP conference meeting on Capitol Hill to make a final pitch to his colleagues.The final changes from House Republican leaders are expected to be unveiled Monday night.

that if he strips health care from millions of people, he and his rotten party will be as popular as the Democrats were in Dixie after they'd taken segregation away from them.

Nothing is going to wake up a Republican voter until a brick wall falls on him. This will fall on a hell of a lot of them.
