Was this his final move, one last fuck you to Trump and his own party? Baby boomers and neo-cons are truly the take my marbles and leave kids of the government

Euthenasia, will eventually be neccesary. How very communist of you. Cheers.
Hudson Bell
You're missing the point. The republicans at least look like they tried to do something and the dems just blocked them out of spite. This will not play well for them in the midterms.
Oliver Green
Why is McCain such an asshole?
Jeremiah Ortiz
Yeah fighting the Vietcong will do that to ya. He was a badass before you were a cumstain.
John Flores
If they vote against Obamacare repeal in 2018, then Trump will campaign against those who do.
Trump has free time to shape the 116th congress how he wants it.
Donors, grassroots actvists, Trump... these people are not happy.
Primaries are coming up. Voting against repeal, cockblocking Trump.
If you see a bunch of Kid Rock's winning primary races, you could even see some Democrats switch sides.
Landon Smith
How, they literally did not need a single dem for this, and it has never caused the Republicans harm when they stood the party line.
Evan Ward
Republican voted to not require any democrat votes. They literally shut them out of the committee rooms. The same Republicans that obstructed Obama. Now the nation knows it wasn't Obama's fault.
Nathan Adams
Its Obamas "legacy" of course its his fault.
Nathaniel Campbell
He wanted repeal and replace, he just didn't want them to do this half assed repeal without anything else to replace it.
Jonathan Hall

Owen Reyes
The reason Obama was successful in passing health care reform is he understood the bill and explained to the American people what it would do. I got to keep my doctor. Trump couldn't even read his bill, now the republicans own the problem. They could have done something and they didn't. With Flynn, Sessions, the Mooch, and Spicer, no onw will.losten to his endorsements when he hates his own choices.
Michael James
Not a single Republican votes for Obamacare. >It's not Obama's fault Who the fuck you trying to fool?

We don't have time for midterms you pathetic lazy fucks. You better find some leverage or we are going to lose these two years of our lives and maybe the country. Time is against us.

His legacy is nationalized health care. The problems with which now belong to Republicans, hopefully McCain and Schumer will band together and help Americans by fixing the ACA. Just like Clinton wanted to do.
Carter Mitchell
Just curious.... why is he a bad ass?

Are you retarded? Can somebody get this guy a red pill? There's a thing called a Deep State and they want you dead. They all want the full ACA because the ACA is _supposed_ to kill you.
Anthony Brooks
>Please replace my gubment program.
These nigger breeding programs need to be repealed and not replaced.
Jose Nguyen
he isn't
Anthony Evans
Obama didn't create Medicaid or Medicare. Obamacare is the exchanges.
McCain is going in for chemo and radiation. He'll probably be gone for the 116th congress.
He didn't explain shit. There was that famous Pelosi soundbite about how the Democrats would find out what was in Obamacare after they voted for it.
It's one of the reasons the Democrats lost the House and Senate.
The silver lining in this who debacle is that Trump can shape the 116th congress. He'll have massive influence in the 2018 midterms.

If the they really want to make 2018 a Plebiscite concerning Obamacare and Trump's agende then they've succeeded.
2018 will be about Obamacare and Trump's agenda again but this time with Trump as the President and de facto leader of the GOP.

I bet McCain doesn't really win his elections anymore, just like Pelosi. I bet he phones it in and his spooks just punch in numbers. He's way too rude a piece of shit to his own constituents for him to ever win a legitimate campaign. Someone said he received his bribes as retail plaza real estate out west. Is it true?
Nolan Bailey
MCCain sucks and actually is getting everything coming to him. Will be remembered as a traitor to Conservativism.
They need to pass a bill mandating that all Congress persons must use the crappy exchanges.

I'm not sure if it's really being appreciated just how comprehensively the Republicans were just fucked over.
See, the Republicans have been trying to pass these godawful healthcare bills through a process called budget reconciliation, which, among other things, protects the bill from being filibustered in the Senate and only requires a simple majority of 50 votes (rather than 60, which the Republicans don't have).
The thing is, the Senate can only consider one budget reconciliation bill per topic per year. Of course, if the bill dies in committee and never comes to an official vote, it doesn't count- which is why they've been able to keep hammering away at the issue.
This bill, though, was allowed to come to the Senate floor, because the Republicans thought they'd secured the votes. Collins, Murkowski and the Democrats would vote no, everyone else would vote yes, and Pence would break the tie. And then McCain completely fucked them. And it was almost certainly a calculated move; he voted to allow the bill to come to the floor. Had McCain allowed it to die in committee, McConnell could have come back with yet another repeal bill; but he let it come to a vote, and now they can't consider another budget reconciliation bill for the rest of the fiscal year. The Senate needs 60 votes to pass any kind of healthcare reform now.
So now they're caught between a rock and a hard place. Either they concede defeat on the issue and try again later (causing a big, unpopular stink that could damage elections if they try it before the midterms, or risking losing the slim majority they already have if they wait) or they actually sit down with the democrats like adults and write a halfway decent healthcare bill.
Oliver Clark
Yeah, no
Michael Bennett
McCain/Collins/Murkowski regularly have sex. I work in the Capitol, it's a whispered secret no one talks about because it's gross.

The same Democrats who've sworn to obstruct Trump at every step and who created the retarded monstrosity known as Obama care in the first place?
That ain't going to happen. Meanwhile America is stuck between premiums and deductibles they can't afford and a mandate they also can't afford.
Fuck Obama

Are you talking about Obamacare, the one that had a year of debate and hundreds of Republican revisions? Or the GOP bill, which was literally shit out by McConnell in a week and not even his own party knew what was in it until a few hours before the vote?

Not a single Republican voted for Obamacare, dingus.
You motherfucking Democrats have been losing power since you passed Obamacare along party lines.
The entire life of Obamacare depends on two traitor female Republicans in Maine and Alaska who may not matter in the 116th congress.
Why are fucking Democrats so tone deaf?
"Hyuk hyuk... we iz gonna winz."
Obamacare saved for now by two cuckservative slags who are going to become irrelevant in 2018 in the trend of the GOP gaining seats because of Obamacare continues.

There's a very large issue with coming into 2018 elections and that's Trump. You can defend him (and his lack of any achievements) all you want but the trend is that the incumbent president's party loses seats.
Senate, I don't know, map doesn't look good for democrats but it's really ranges from +3D to +4-5R.
House however, yeah that'll flip, not a huge majority but nothing from the senate will pass through a democratic house.
Alexander Brown

Fixed it for you
James Johnson
They spend 18 months on it, held numerous hearings, offered amendments, etc. Couldn't get a single republican to come to the middle.
McConnell writes a bill against the wall the night before and tosses it for a vote. Enzi talks about the nonsense for the 2 hours given to actually debate it. LOL DEMOCRACY IS WORKING JUST FINE.
This is what republicans actually believe.

Easton Green
He doesn't even have massive influence in his white house.
Jacob Baker
They don't adopt a single Republican amendment. Even a common sense amendment like cross-state insurance markets was ignored. All the hearing and amendments were required to get the Democrats on board.
King Nigger would just mumble "elections have consequences" anytime someone criticized him for not working with Republicans.
The whole thing was laughable anyway. Wall Street had just tanked our entire economy by issuing fraudulent bonds and King Nigger decided it would be a good to spend all his time reforming healthcare.
Parker Jones
It will be the HOP that cuts his throat. They already disagree with him at almost every move. So either Republicans are giving up their voters by going against him or it's Trump who will be out. Either way 2018 will tell.
