The bill is not dead - McConnell just returned it to calendar.

When?

 

[Nothing1016]

I wonder what Obama is thinking. He had to have been watching

 

[jetjevons]

Is that true? Maybe that was McCain plan?

If there's even a remote possibility that's true then Maverick just redeemed himself for Goose and got a well earned high five from Iceman.

 

[Jombie]

Wish nothing but the worst for McConnell and his ilk. Vile hypocrites.

 

[Frustrated_me]

60 votes eh? Nice.

God I'm enjoying this too much.

 

[Surfinn]

Back in your shell

 

[Garrett 2U]

Hey, he wants to make health care a bipartisan effort. Wow!

 

[antonz]

Watching McConnell quiver in anger is so satisfying.

 

[mcw]

I did not expect tonight to end on a positive note, these kinds of nights/moments keep me feeling hopeful. There is still a long fight ahead but holy shit I will actually be able to get some sleep!

Yeah...

Yeah. =}

Thanks, guys.

The only reason I can think that he did this is that he legit believed that the GOP was going to debate the bill, figure out a plan in crunch time, and come out on top as a hero. But doing the lunch planning he saw that NO ONE had a plan and decided to vote against at the last second.

I don’t know the future of Republican efforts to repeal the ACA. What I do know is a lot of chickens came home to roost in this vote. Perhaps in the future it would be best for the president not to say that he prefers his war heroes not to be captured? Perhaps it would be better for the Interior Department not to threaten funding in Alaska? When you only have 52 votes in the Senate, maybe it’s better to treat each senator well. Otherwise, they may just vote against you in a key vote.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

I wonder if McConnell sees his tenure coming to an end.

 

[kevin1025]

Going to be fascinating to see how 180 this will be in four hours.

 

[Davide]

Probably going to call McCain on the phone

 

[KSweeley]

Can't wait for Trump tweets later this morning.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Don't worry, that will get deleted so there aren't any gotcha politics.

 

[Merrydeath]

McConnell Salty as hell and I enjoy his fake tears
They have no plan. The current bill they made was pure garbage.
Just move on.
Who want to make a bet that Trump is going after McCain again?

 

[grandjedi6]

I wonder what Obama is thinking. He had to have been watching

It's kinda crazy that we are sure Obama is watching but the current President isn't.

 

[Dierce]

So is turtle an idiot who doesn't understand the difference between single payer and the ACA or is he just an evil piece of shit who tries to manipulate his racist base at every turn. I'll go with the latter.

 

[Xe4]

This is the first actual failed vote right? If so, good, they deserve all the fallout, those fucks. Pieces of shit trying to make 40 million uninsured, and increase premiums 20% year on year.

Get fucked republicans.

McCain, Collins, Murkowski, I don't like ya'll all that much, but I can at least respect you for having values, at least tonight.

 

[Link]

All I hear is Elliott Gould whenever Chuck Schumer speaks.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Man my appetite returned, I think I'm gonna go eat and watch Rogue One.

which ends the debate on this bill. its as dead as any bill gets

they already voted to move on to debating defense bill

 

[Lonewulfeus]

Can't wait for Trump tweets later this morning.

Oh we're getting 3am I can't take a piss cause I'm old tweets.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Finally, I agree with Trump.

 

[Davide]

Schumer giving a speech as what looks like Mike Pence's car leaving.

So good.

 

[Oddish1]

I'm following 538's live blog and they make a good point, that this probably more beneficial for Republicans overall than if they had actually passed this.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

lol, what?

To be clear, if you are saying this isn't about politics, I don't agree.

I meant Politics that serve the actual people.

 

[Verelios]

This gives me life.

Fuck that turtle baatard and his lies.

 

[mackaveli]

So was it a positive that McCain voted yes earlier this week to get us to this point? And have it all come to this melting point and then vote no.

Like it was quite scary but was this better it went down this way?

 

[ezekial45]

So is turtle an idiot who doesn't understand the difference between single payer and the ACA or is he just an evil piece of shit who tries to manipulate his racist base at every turn. I'll go with the latter.

Also want to add that this is revenge against Obama, as he personally viewed a black man in a position of power as an affront to his white superiority complex.

"We did what we promised the American people we were going to do."*


*Except most of them didn't want it.

 

[bigjig]

As someone who isn't American and is completely ignorant of American politics, how long until you guys are completely in the clear? When are the repubs going to stop trying to repeal Ocare?

 

[Fancyarcher]

McConnell got what he deserved. So good.

 

[Nasbin]

I want fucking apologies from the authors of the 200 hot take op-eds shitting on McCain's legacy that were published over the last two days. This was so much more powerful than McCain just not showing up to vote.

 

[Chococat]

As someone who isn't American and is completely ignorant of American politics, how long until you guys are completely in the clear? When are the repubs going to stop trying to repeal Ocare?

Never.

 

[Alucrid]

will the mooch describe tonight's events in terms of self fellatio?

 

[Shard]

Tonight we have dined on Turtle Soup.

[DrEvil]

Oh, man.

r/t_d is a delight right now.

I think I have hypertension from all the sodium

ahaha, they're calling McCain a democrat now, that subreddit is insane.

 

[sphagnum]

As someone who isn't American and is completely ignorant of American politics, how long until you guys are completely in the clear? When are the repubs going to stop trying to repeal Ocare?

Never. We won't be in the clear until the next time the Dems control one house of Congress or the presidency, at least.

How does that work exactly? Just straight up voting again or does it come with caveats?

 

[chubigans]

That was such a disgusting show. Shame on all of them.

 

[NeoGold123]

As someone who isn't American and is completely ignorant of American politics, how long until you guys are completely in the clear? When are the repubs going to stop trying to repeal Ocare?

Never. It's their ultimate mission. They might move on but they'll always come back to it. All because it has HIS name on it.

 

[border]

As someone who isn't American and is completely ignorant of American politics, how long until you guys are completely in the clear? When are the repubs going to stop trying to repeal Ocare?

Probably never. This is a nice victory, but it will be short-lived.

 

[pigeon]

As someone who isn't American and is completely ignorant of American politics, how long until you guys are completely in the clear? When are the repubs going to stop trying to repeal Ocare?

When Democrats pass Medicare for All.

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

So to Trump, is McCain not a hero again?

 

[Codeblue]

I want fucking apologies from the authors of the 200 hot take op-eds shitting on McCain's legacy that were published over the last two days. This was so much more powerful than McCain just not showing up to vote.

Making everyone sweat in the name of suspense?
