They could and probably would
House GOP may pass Senate's "skinny repeal" outright. CALL YOUR SENATORS.

Never underestimate John McCain's ability to grandstand.

Well they wouldn't have even tried this disaster then.

She can take them. Look at my avatar.
If this all comes down to Murkowski being pissed at Trump...
I feel like the kind of person who would win a write in campaign against her own party would only get angry at such tactics.

Collins and Murkowski, you got this!
Don't let us down!

In theory, three Republicans can flip to yes on the motion to send it to committee and they can hammer it out over three days. That vote is technically still open.

Not consensually but that's never stopped him before.
Maybe he can tell Trump he shouldn't have threatened Alaska.

Well, the GOP strategy of retaliating against Murkowski for her MTP vote has worked out brilliantly.

If McCain votes no and this fails he will secure his legacy.
Bullying a woman is something republicans are pretty good at.
Let's hope she tells them to fuck off. She has been dragged through hell all week by shitbag right wingers.
It's over, it's done.
Not passing.
I bet my eternal soul on it. Any last minute takers? ;
I sure as fuck ain't gonna bet for something that'll fuck over so many people, but I'm still not sure.

Collins and Murkowski have been heroes through this whole process, I feel like calling their offices and thanking them.
YOOOOO
They better hold! They better fucking hold!
I will give them money for reelection if they hold

Please don't pass we are so close
That's just another old white dude.
Collins definitely won't. She's well-liked, but she knows that in Maine there's always that shakiness, and this will probably kill her seat. Murkoski is up in the air. She's been a solid no throughout all of this, but I don't know now. It's weird to me she refused to commit to no on this. The fact that they're working her now seems to imply a no, but it's a fishy situation. She has kind of a weird situation overall.

That was basically a party line vote they only took to get people like McCain out of hiding/resting and onto the floor to make their final case to them. The fact that they haven't taken the real vote in a very long time afterwords shows they are having problems with making this final case.

IF I had been McCain, I'd have told pence I'd vote yes and then jam the knife in his back when it actually went to vote so that we can get this shit over with
Ehhhh, he voted to let this thing get this far.

Pence came back
Man imagine if a Martian teleported into the Senate and told everyone that that they had to vote right away or else he'd destroy a somewhat minor city like Toledo or Topeka every 10 minutes. I wonder how long it would take for McConnell to call for the vote under that ridiculous circumstance?

Hugging me means nothing. At the end of the day, these people put on a show of respect. With McCains illness, it could just be a sign of repect and professionalism.
Hard to say.

The way the GOP did this today, who says they can't do it every day of the week until they get what they want ?
That's the kind of thing that he would face consequences for down the line except for the fact that down the line probably doesn't really exist for him now.
