Or maybe just “Yippie-ki-yay, motherfucker!”
Maybe McCain just thought it was amusing to let the other Republicans think they had won and then pull the rug out from under them at the last moment? As show business/performance art it was brilliant leaving the hospital to be there for the crucial vote to create drama and then do the unexpected. It’s not as if he…
Dear Donald Trump:
Well the whole point of passing it was to force it into conference to eventually get a better bill, not to actually enact this bill that was pretty much universally despised. It became clear that Ryan was going to just take this to the House, try and ram it through and then go home claiming victory. In this case at…
Tonight the ACA was saved by two women and a man with a hole in his head. Thank you to the women who actually listened to their constituents, and even if you were just giving a big FUCK YOU to President Orange, thank you too, Senator McCain.
This was bullshit anyway. We (Senate) are gonna pass this bill, but only if you (House) PROMISE you WON’T pass it. Your legislative representatives, ladies and germs.
I CANNOT wait to wake up to the spin placed on this vote. Just days ago they gave McCain a standing ovation when entering the hall, gave him the last vote to discuss the repeal and a round of applause after his vote. I cannot wait for Heir Cheeto to vilify him. It’ll demonstrate that NO ONE IS SAFE!
Also, please please…
So what happens first?
It failed by one vote, so if he had gone the other way, it would have passed. So that’s not quite it. It’s a well known fact that McCain’s maverickness is a PR front, and who can say what’s going on in his mind these days, but historically his votes that do buck the party leadership tend to have two things in common:…
Those weren’t crocodile tears. Guy’s been on a seven year mission to get to this moment and it blew up in his face. His wife’s currently serving at the President’s leisure as Secretary of Labor (could see him firing her) and for all we know Trump’s huge blow up is going to be targeted at McConnell’s majority lead seat.
Senator Susan Collins and Senator Lisa Murkowski also voted against the measure, as they were expected to.
Hurrah — at least until Trump starts to undermine Obamacare. My guess is that the undermining will step up tomorrow....
Son of a bitch! The maverick came through!
Mcconnell, while shedding crocodile (or turtle) tears: “The American people are hurting and they need relief”. Relief from life, I guess. God I hate this man so much.
I’m still not sucking his dick.
Oh Jesus I can’t wait for the tweetstorm about this one.
Finally fucking on his way to actually earning the Maverick label.
You have to wonder if Sen. Hirono’s speech had anything to do with it. One cancer patient to another, you know? The cynic inside me is telling me “fat chance, dipshit” but who knows? I honestly can’t explain his No vote on this after his Yes vote on the full repeal.
McCain voted NO!
