Trumpcare Megathread: It's dead (for now)

[Santander]

Murray Motion ahead 47-46. Still Party Line so far.

Wulfric,
Big thank you for doing an excellent job on keeping us to the minute on vote count, and other info regarding all the bills, amendments, debating, etc.
8-)

Nobody cares about that vote.

[Santander]

Santander, why must you be rude to Wulfric?

Read his signature and ask me that question again.

[Santander]

Democrats look rather happy.

[Santander]

McCain came over to talk with Schumer. Democrats laughing.

[Santander]

McCain defending himself to little Marco now.

[Santander]

McCain had a chance to be a hero and blew it. Now we're stuck with Osamacare.

Your racisms is showing again.

You say that as if I care.

[Santander]

Collins needs to go help Murkowski

She's a United States Senator, not a little girl. She can stand up for herself.

[Santander]

Please, God, please, let skinny repeal fail. McCain, Murkowski, Collins, Heller, please have some sense. Please do not allow this bill, which will kill 16 million people, to pass.

lol

[Santander]

Time to go.

[Santander]

This was McCain's middle finger to Trump.

[Santander]

Does anyone know enough about the policy specifics here to answer a pretty stupid question, ideally via PM?

Go ahead and pm me and I'll at least try to answer.

He asked for someone who knew things.

What kind of a cuck Governor grovels? Disgusting.

If the GOP tried Cassidy-Collins, they might get, um, Collins back on board. Possibly Murkowski as well. They'd lose Rand Paul and possibly Lee or Portman, though.

Schumer said Democrats were willing to debate Cassidy-Collins in his speech after skinny repeal failed. I'm not sure how sincere of an offer that is, but the idea is not totally off the table.

[Santander]

I doubt the CBO will be particularly flattering to Graham-Cassidy.

[Santander]

Yeah it doesn't kill enough people for bloodthirsty white nationalist "Ayn" Rand Paul.

[Santander]

Every time the GOP introduces a new alternative it gets worse... how is that even possible?

They are bad people who get off on walking on the poor. Once you accept that fact, everything makes sense.

Sounds like McCain's a no

Well, the reason he voted against last time was that he wanted to pass reforms through regular order because of his fondness for the Senate, not because of his fondness for poor and sick people losing health insurance. It'd be hypocritical, even by US Senate standards, for him to change his vote this time just because his work husband is a co-sponsor.

[Santander]

Important implications for any Republican attempts at healthcare next year under a new reconciliation vehicle:

Garrett Haake @GarrettHaake
More evidence @MooreSenate would be a nightmare for @SenateMajLdr - campaign spox says he would vote no on Graham/Cassidy. Wants full repeal

Moore for Senate! He's a good old 1950s Alabama Democrat at heart.

F**K YOU

This is basically just an exercise in masturbation.

Seriously this is something people will get hurt over and they just care about a win

Trolling is the point of life

[Santander]

Graham-Cassidy does not address the reason why McCain voted against skinny repeal. Instead, it tries to corner McCain into voting for it by making his work husband a co-sponsor.
