Just when I thought I could go to bed.

 

[B-Dubs]

HE'S TWEETING

He's not as salty as I'd imagined.

 

[Drkirby]

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
3 Republicans and 48 Democrats let the American people down. As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal. Watch!

Of course he'd be up now.

Ok, when does he actually sleep? Does he?

"Let everyone suffer and the economy be hurt! I am a leader!".

 

[Clefargle]

Yeah trump is gonna try his damnedest to subvert the law by trashing Ocare from within

 

[aspiegamer]

Ooh, he's back to deliberately hoping that millions of Americans suffer and to use it as a bargaining chip. Bold strategy, Cotton...

Yeah trump is gonna try his damnedest to subvert the law by trashing Ocare from within

He's the President. The GOP runs congress. They fucking own 100% of it now and will be held accountable regardless of what happens.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

He's not as salty as I'd imagined.

Wait 30 minutes

Well, it IS the tweeting hour for Donny

Loooool yeah that's a great strategy to just say you're going to fuck over voters by being passive.

I can't sleep all I wanna do is dance

 

[teiresias]

Primaries are a bigger deal for house members due to gerrymandered districts.

So, I have no fucking clue what many of them were thinking.

Can you change a vote in the Senate once you've cast it since it's a tallied roll call vote?

 

[Zolo]

You know what's really going to burn Trump up, more than anything? Tonight McCain is getting all the love and adoration from the public that he coveted.

Yessssssss.

 

[skullmuffins]

Make no mistake, he's going to actively sabotage the markets. Nothing passive about it.

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

Make no mistake, he's going to actively sabotage the markets. Nothing passive about it.

I meant passive in the sense of not trying to solve the problem.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

He's not as salty as I'd imagined.

The lawyers are still awake mane

 

[kess]

McConnell made himself a cipher and gets blamed for it

 

[aspiegamer]

Ooh, CNN isolated the video and audio of McCain voting. Massive gasp from the gallery.

 

[skullmuffins]

Schumer was in talks with McCain and knew this was coming. So good.

 

[thepotatoman]

Yeah trump is gonna try his damnedest to subvert the law by trashing Ocare from within

I don't think he can do it without Bannon, Priebus, or Price's help.

It's not like he's going to write his own executive order instructing Price on how to dismantle a bill he has absolutely 0 understanding of.

I'm going to loop this all night, you can see where Turtle shifts from hopefulness to anger

All those reactions are fascinating. Schumer didn't like the applause that broke out.

 

[benicillin]

Nope, democrats were on fucking point with messaging tonight. No singing from the gallery. Like really, I was impressed with all of them, including the speeches they're giving protestors outside the capital now.

 

[Vixdean]

The CNN feed on the WH showing the light on through the bedroom window is just awesome. Get fucked Trump.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

Ok, when does he actually sleep? Does he?

Legit, he only sleeps about 3-4 hours a night, from like 2-3 to 6.

 

[Zolo]

I hope stations, Colbert, and more remember Murkowski and Collins when reporting this along with McCain.

I wonder what McCain's expression was when he looked at McConnell.

 

[Officerrob]

McCain statement is out there now, basically he didn't like the bill and didn't trust Ryan

 

[skullmuffins]

lame but w/e I'll take it if Trumpcare is dead

 

[thepotatoman]

I credit Sanders for the win. The waltz hug was probably the thing to make McCain change his mind.

Lol at "They're making the rules up as they go."

 

[teiresias]

Trust between the GOP caucus is in a shambles. Between Ryan and McConnell forcing these tough votes and ending with nothing and the President personally attacking members of Congress from his own party, I'm surprised anyone in the GOP cooperates or trusts anyone there in leadership anymore.

This might be the greatest thing ever

 

[aspiegamer]

God, this feels so good. Repeal had filed, upsetting conservatives, plus they're all on the record having voted for this stuff, energizing liberals. An R/R/R government managed a double loss on the same topic! Contest every Senate seat now. Even sold red states. Go for all of them. Contest every house seat. Everyone that voted for the house bill.

The wisest man in the Senate.

today we witnessed a top 10 american political plot twist

It would have been top 10 even without the shock vote shift on the floor. NO Senate vote is EVER a surprise anymore. It's been that way for decades.
Edit: That's an accidental cross-post from the OT, sorry. Meh.

Even George W had enough goddamn sense to fail with dignity and attempt to spread a positive spin when shit didn't go his way. This fucking guy.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I think this is the first time since November where we can celebrate a late night vote watching lol

 

[Kevinroc]

I can feel the anxiety in the pit of my stomach. I know how this is going to go and I still feel this sickening anxiety in the pit of my stomach.

I was wrong. I have never been happier to be wrong in my life.

(I know this isn't over. But for tonight, at least, I can breath easy.)

 

[RastaMentality]

kelly ayotte probably would've voted yes. new Hampshire came tf through election night.

 

[Owzers]

McCain: maybe we should replace it with something that isn't so clearly terrible?

Trump: I don't care you suck I hate you.

 

[whyamihere]

Those 312 votes separating Al Franken from Norm Coleman are the most important 312 votes since 2000.

 

[Autodidact]

Kelly Ayeotte

or

Kelly Nayotte

The world will never know.

Spoiler

I agree with you.

 

[Suikoguy]

Not much talk about it, but it does deserve a mention.

All of the Dems were in line for this vote, no waffling or questions.

Tester (MT)
Heitkamp (ND)
McCaskill (MO)
Manchin (WV)
Donnelly (IN)

They are all in states that went > 18% towards Trump, and all did the right thing.

 

[Zolo]

Yep. It's still going to be a dark 3 1/2 years....but tonight's a happy night.

People in this thread a few weeks back were saying Manchin would vote for AHCA.

Always have faith in the Manch, baby.

Trump doesn't know the meaning of the word dignity. He hasn't exhibited it once in his entire life.

 

[MetalGearZed]

so i was going through the cheeto's twitter page his likes

why did he like this tweet back in '13 of a guy dragging him? lol

 

[Fenderputty]

So does this mean they need 60 for healthcare now?

 

[aspiegamer]

People in this thread a few weeks back were saying Manchin would vote for AHCA.

Ick, I forgot about that. And the discussion always ended up going to "literally any vote against the ACHA is better than an R in that seat."

Democrats did the right thing when the voted for Obamacare originally, and they paid the price at the midterms. They did the right thing today, and can get revenge for their position on the same law 8 years later. Politics are weird.

So does this mean they need 60 for healthcare now?

They can theoretically keep reconciliation open indefinitely, but they wouldn't be able to work on next year's budget, keeping the government open, defense spending, raising the debt ceiling, etc

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

So does this mean they need 60 for healthcare now?

More likely they move on to tax reform and drop it entirely, or they might actually write something bipartisan to fix the ACA that won't make it through the House.

Not to mention people on the far left who wanted Schumer gone. He deserves a pat on the back tonight.
