She refused to say which way she was voting and word is that McCain is a no, but they still have the votes.

House GOP may pass Senate's "skinny repeal" outright. CALL YOUR SENATORS.

Part of me wants to believe McCain is about to pull a boner, but nah, I ain't going to believe.

Of course he is gonna vote yes, so is Graham. They are promised that it will be fixed, but we have to vote now. We wouldn't be bringing in VP at midnight if not.

As a European, it's fucking embarrassing to watch. It's like a badly-acted period piece where everyone forgot to get in costume.
McCain will disappoint everyone again.

Wouldn't surprise me. If you look at her actual track-record, she's trash.
Truthfully, there are no moderate Republican senators. Once you are a Republican, you are required to be "party over country", horribly enough.

Couldn't have said better. Fuck the GOP, they just keep trying to flush humanity down the toilet.

Rumor is McCain will get a 'no' because they flipped Murkowski.
Edit: Holy shit was I wrong! Apologies McCain!

Why bully pulpit when you can just bully.
Oh, I didn't know that. That really surprises me, honestly, her and Collins have really been the ones who have voted against this since the very beginning. Weird she'd change now, but I guess not surprising.

'Fraid real life doesn't work that way. Your choices are either A) Civil War or B) Let the Republicans destroy your country and your way of life.
Because Americans have all sorts of enjoyable distractions now, my bet is you'll choose B).

Hey hourly reminder. fuck republicans.
If you claim to be a moderate republican you're either lying through your fucking teeth or you are a fucking awful person to begin with.

He's right though. It passed without a single R vote. The process and bill being made was though.

The vote wasn't bipartisan.
All we've got left is shit like that. There just aren't enough Dems in the Senate to stop this.
You clearly haven't been paying attention to the last century and a half of US politics.
Or Brexit.
Nothing he can say will make a difference, but you can't go quietly into the night.

The US is a deeply racist nation. We were founded on it. The hate runs very deep.

Yep.
The crafting of the bill was, watered down and over and over for the sake of compromise. He was saying that is what they used to do and now don't.

I dont want my taxes going to Mitch McConnells health care. Fuck that turtle twat.
Yeah fuck this piece of shit.
Democrats wanted it to be and almost had people like Grassley on board. Then the Tea Party went insane.

Cornyn literally owning up to the fact that they're just doing this "because Dems did it first!".
I'd rather the Dems try until the last second, who knows maybe someone's heart will grow three sizes today.

God, if we had just flipped two seats in the Senate
Remember we did and it didn't matter because they just played the line

If they had a heart to begin with they wouldn't be a republican
That would require these pieces of shit to actually have a heart.
America has always been racist, the assholes came out after 2008 and now they want to wipe one man from the history because of that.

If it wasn't for the good people getting fucked by this I would be all for it. A particular subset of the American populace needs to feel exceptional pain to learn.
There 100% is a new Civil War brewing. It's pretty obvious though no one wants to believe it. Not sure what it'll actually look like, but it's going to come at some point in the coming years.
Don't be silly. He, and all Dems, know the score of what is happening.

He can try at least. Coming up there and basically admitting defeat would be wrong anyway.
The GOP confirmed worse than the grinch.
Both did, though not on number of uninsured. They're going for the premiums angle, in a hope to flip a GOP senator.
That's the thing, though. The insurance corporations are steadfastly against this. This is just to fuck over the ACA and get a win.
