They're giving us hope, only for them to rip it later, right?
It would be the most McCain of McCain moments if he does that.

I'm not getting my hopes up, but I would like to be pleasantly surprised.

I'm getting my hopes up. If McCain buckles, I don't know what I'm going to do.

It would be the first time since 2007 he went against what the GOP wanted.

Mccain is voting no so Graham can vote yes and not get the weight of Trump next election

Why do ya'll do this to yourselves. Why anybody has any faith in John McCain at this point is beyond me.

I'm 110% ready to eat crow.I will never speak ill of McCain again if he kills this.
What happens if he's a nay but Murkowski goes aye? Does he get credit despite not actually killing it? Remember, it's his MTP vote is the only reason why any of this happened in the first place. Dammit Murkowski, don't give into Trump's threats. It justifies how he does things.
Reminder: He could have stayed home and prevented all of this!McCain is about to be public enemy #1 for a lot of people no matter how this goes

It should not align with the rules to keep a vote open this long after 100 votes. So much scumminess happening in this room in the middle of the night.

Either that or accept a bunch of people are going to needlessly die/lose everything. I'd rather keep hope for at least a few minutes before these past 2 years get much worse.

The man has brain cancer and survived being a POW. Good fucking luck to them.

If McCain doing Graham a solid is what saves the ACA then so be it.

Better to be on the side of saving healthcare for 16 million people as your legacy than the alternative.

Like Trump will be president when Graham runs in 2020, anyway.

Faith is a strong word.
This is VERY abnormal though, it's more likely than not he will be voting no now.
After leaning on thinking this was going to pass 30 minutes ago.
This was not in the cards for Turtle.

He may likely flip back, but right now there is reporting that he's the one taking the heat and saying no. Who thought we would be at this moment for one second?

He's actually already voted this time though, he'd have to actually change his current vote. I'm only holding out scant hope this holds.

this isn't the actual vote that's happening. No one's voted for it yet.

Twitter saying Pence is working McCain hard right now. Something is definitely afoot.
What's the best way to watch this fuckery online?
CSPAN should have a stream on their site.

I'm more surprised that this must mean Murkowski is holding strong too.
If Pence talks to her I want closeups of her face.
But wait, is he allowed to talk to her one-on-one?

I agree, but I think the reason is that there's no way to stop the Majority Leader from just restarting the vote. You could make him submit a new bill, but then he'll just change a few words every time.

Worth remembering that defense authorization bill is coming next -- McCain's most important priority. There's stuff he can ask for.
