Remember that John McCain didn't even vote for Trump in the GE. It's not impossible that a president he had actually voted for would have been able to persuade him to vote for the Skinny Repeal bill, and there's your 50th vote for that. It's an open question as to whether Skinny Repeal would have passed the house though.
Of course, this is assuming that the senate results stay the same. A Kasich type Candidate might have been able to pull Ayotte and/or Heck across the line, and a 53-47 or 54-46 republican majority would at least have been able to pass something like Graham-Cassidy, if not a BCRA-esque bill.
