Yikes, Heller votes yes. Didn't HIllary win his district by double digits? Political suicide he is playing.

Collins and Murkowski vote "no" on motion to proceed

Republican Sens. Collins and Murkowski have voted no on the motion to proceed to debate. If Republicans lose one more vote the motion to proceed will fail.

Johnson in discussion with McConnell before vote

Sen. Ron Johnson is seen discussing with the Majority Leader on the floor before he takes his vote.

McCain, Johnson votes remain

Republican Sens. John McCain and Ron Johnson are all that remains to give Republicans the edge to the motion to proceed. McCain's flight from Arizona to D.C. has reportedly landed and he is en route to the Capitol for his vote.

Treat it as if it's passed now. It would be a 180 at this point for it to be different.

Sounds like they will muster a MTP, goddamnit McCain

What a bunch of spineless fucks if they make this happen

Evil Monkey DTT · Jul 25, 2017

This is why i take this shit seriously, its too easy to feel relaxed they won't do anything.

RurouniZel · Jul 25, 2017

This is just a vote to debate right? Not an actual bill?

SexyFish · Jul 25, 2017

So they'll take a "victory" for the MTP and then it'll probably die as everyone and their mother tries to make amendments to the thing, right? Or is that wishful thinking?

RurouniZel said:

Yes. This is just to debate.

Netherscourge · Jul 25, 2017

How funny would it be if Johnson votes NO before McCain gets into the chamber?

He'd have wasted his time flying all the way out there for nothing.

McCain just entered the chamber to a round of applause, voted yes. Motion to proceed passed.

Not surprised, my brother inlaw will be happy with this since he refuses to pay for insurance to pocket more money and is very vocal how he hates the fine he pays due to the mandate.

And then he gets cancer and not only his life is destroyed but your sisters as well. Good job.

It's going to pass now, but this is just a vote to debate and lets see if it goes anywhere.

Damnit

Netherscourge · Jul 25, 2017

I have a question.

If they pass this bill, does that mean the Byrd rule is waived for any bill that Repeals or Amends the ACA afterward? Does today's vote affect the reconciliation process?

Would they still need 60 votes? Or just 50/51?

Neuromancer · Jul 25, 2017

Well there it is. Thanks John McCain, you truly are a hero.

it is all one bill. This vote is on proceeding with the AHCA from the house, which will be amended into a Senate bill

The ultimate "Fuck you, I got mine". In fact, I say we just hashtag that quote as "McCaining".

Today's vote was just to move forward with debate on the bill. It doesn't have to do with reconciliation.

SeanC · Jul 25, 2017

I'm not overly upset because it is just to debate, stagnating things longer, but McCain can get straight fucked in the eye with cancer at this point. Good will gone.

David H Wong · Jul 25, 2017

Thus begins the actual process of getting the bill done.

Right?

This has happened basically for all of the Senate GOP bill measures besides the straight up repeal from last weekend.

Republicans are in for a bad time with all the amendments that are going to be shoved their way.

Only reason this vote is significant is because this bill is so pathetic that it almost didn't make it for debate.

Mask · Jul 25, 2017

Any sympathy McCain would have had is gone from me. Voting yes as one last "fuck You I got mine", what a Foul person.

Well this messy and disgusting debate sure will take some of the media heat off of the investigation which is probably a large part of the point.

Exactly. The amendments are going to be a clusterfuck.

Which will all get erased when McConnel enters the final amendment which will either be repeal and no replace or the BRCA. This debate doesnt do shit since it all gets erased by McConnel when he makes everyone vote up or down after the debate is over.

It's amazing that one if his final acts may be to kill thousands of people.

A shame he did not succumb to the plane ride.

Slayven · Jul 25, 2017

So McCain fresh off getting the best medical care money can buy, votes to help take away barely acceptable medical care people can barely afford.

Yet. It's a forlorn conclusion that they'll eventually get something through. I mean, that much has been obvious from last November. Elections have consequences. It sounds trite, but here we are.

RPGCrazied · Jul 25, 2017

Yay, we get to see Trump gloat about this in the rose garden. Can't wait!! /s

Vincent Alexander · Jul 25, 2017

So, McCain continued to be a piece of shit, it sounds like? No Hollywood twist where his disease has taught him errors of his way?

Considering he had a blood clot behind his eye, he literally is getting fucked in the eye with cancer right now.
