Support NeoGAF

[shem935]

So I would like to reiterate my consistent support of our dear maverick john mccain, a beloved senator and independent thinker.

 

[Fenderputty]

The Maverick tank went from E to full in a single vote and I ain't even mad.

Thank you, John. Thank you.

Hell im giggling like a little kid

 

[benicillin]

God, we needed this. After this week, we needed this. It'll be back. It's never over. But in this moment, I am euphoric.

 

[PBY]

can someone explain to me why they would even hold the vote?

 

[AntraxSuicide]

I'm gonna find a McCain avatar for a week. Crazy sumbitch earned that much

 

[metalslimer]

I honestly haven't been this happy since before the election.

can someone explain to me why they would even hold the vote?

It must have been a late flip.

 

[skullmuffins]

After this , I don't know. It was a huge embarrassment, no one really wanted to vote yes, and those that did got their scapegoats to blame its failure on.

They might decide to leave well enough alone.

Fuck, they should. They've been working on healthcare for 6 months and the best they come up with is a bill pulled out of their ass a couple hours before the vote, that they were only going to vote for so they could punt it down the line. What an embarrassment. McConnell should step down.

 

[RumbleHumble]

I'm still here till they closed the vote, although, given that everyone's sitting in the chamber right now, I doubt anything major will occur to shift where things go from here.

 

[HTupolev]

can someone explain to me why they would even hold the vote?

The fuckery of it all.

 

[Foffy]

My earlier remarks about John McCain being like Mega Man's Sigma still have some truth but now in the opposite way of what I meant days ago.

He always has a final form.

 

[Dan]

McCain could've saved some time and voted against the MTP.

 

[thepotatoman]

Okay so what now? Is McConnell going to try again tomorrow? What even happens at this point?

It's not dead until they start Tax Reform in complete earnest. But I don't know if they can do 50+1 reconciliation for it after this vote-a-rama thing.

 

[sphagnum]

trump must have blood pressure in the stratosphere how has he not collapsed yet from how much he gets mad?

 

[Deleted member 30609]

when is the damn vote closing?

 

[Plumbob]

can someone explain to me why they would even hold the vote?

Mistakes were made

 

[pigeon]

can someone explain to me why they would even hold the vote?

They obviously didn't know that McCain would vote no.

 

[Mizerman]

Seriously, I did not expect that. And now, I gotta eat some crow...

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

can someone explain to me why they would even hold the vote?

I'm looking forward to the politco article tomorrow that explains all this.

 

[Aaron Strife]

can someone explain to me why they would even hold the vote?

McCain probably indicated he'd vote yes.

 

[Officerrob]

Closed!!!!

 

[Mac_Lane]

This is SO GOOD.

Eat shit Turtle

 

[Zolo]

McCain could've saved some time and voted against the MTP.

He wanted a process to go through. This was what he considered part of his speech.

 

[shem935]

McCain could've saved some time and voted against the MTP.

Then we wouldn't have our season finale episode, writers gotta build some tension.

 

[Suikoguy]

McCain could've saved some time and voted against the MTP.

Ironically, if this is where the whole ordeal ends, McCain did Democrats a favor.
They have all of these votes on record now.

 

[RumbleHumble]

McConnell's bummed and I love it.

 

[Emerson]

can someone explain to me why they would even hold the vote?

Because this is probably the end of it and they want their votes on record.

 

[Autodidact]

McConnell shaming the Moderate Darling trio.

He sounds near tears.

 

[metalslimer]

Oh my god McConnell is laying into the three basically calling them traitors

This is fucking awful.

 

[thepotatoman]

Cry me a river McConnell.

 

[teiresias]

I've been pacing my living room for like half an hour, there's no way I'm sleeping tonight!!

And McConnell going in on the three will just make any future efforts even harder. After Trump threatening Murkowski and now Pence speaking against all three they will look puny if they fold on anything concerning ACA.

 

[Kusagari]

Turtle sounds like he's about to cry.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Closed! Yessssss

 

[Futurevoid]

I'm kind of just sitting in bed at 2am completely stunned.

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

Get fucked, turtle!

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

They worked really hard. At least an hour today over lunch.

 

[Mac_Lane]

McConnell seems he's about to cry hahahaha

 

[Officerrob]

"We tried"

 

[aspiegamer]

This might be the most ineffectual unified government in American history. My god.

 

[RumbleHumble]

Ironically, if this is where the whole ordeal ends, McCain did Democrats a favor.
They have all of these votes on record now.

As weird as it sounds, this is one of the best possible outcomes.

 

[kess]

Good fucking shit, man.

 

[Aaron Strife]

This was going to be McConnell's legacy.

His legacy would be spitting on the legacy of the first black president.

That's all. That's all the GOP has.

Fuck off, you miserable turd.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Wow. Fucking wow.

This has been a day PoliGAF.

I got a McCain avatar bet I got to pay up for now. I expect a PB and sardine sandwich to be on here tomorrow, or an IG post, or a Snap from those who know who they are and also lost the bet.

 

[SerAardvark]

McConnell is a terrible speaker

Gutless liar.

 

[Chococat]

McConnell seems he's about to cry hahahaha

Man, I didn't watch it cause I was angry, but now want to see McConnell losing it.

 

[Mac_Lane]

You're damn right we're celebrating, bitch.

 

[greatgeek]

Sounds like McConnell is call it quits on repeal.

 

[Gruco]

McConnell shaming the Moderate Darling trio.

He sounds near tears.

On today, at least, we celebrate them as true MAVERICKS

 

[metalslimer]

Fuck off you lying turtle sack of shit

 

[Dan]

Fuck off, McConnell.

He wanted a process to go through. This was what he considered part of his speech.

Sure, but that little speech was full of hypocrisy.

Ironically, if this is where the whole ordeal ends, McCain did Democrats a favor.
They have all of these votes on record now.

True.

 

[Zolo]

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE HAPPY!!!

Sounds like McConnell is call it quits on repeal.

YEP!
