It all comes down to McCain:

This was from 5 hours ago.

Pence is en route to the Capitol.

Isn't that a big hint?

They would be bringing him anyway just to be safe if they knew it was going to be a very close vote. But, I'm guessing they have 50 votes.

So, the skinny repeal preserves 95% of ObamaCare, doesn't get rid of the Medicaid expansion, or the exchanges or like, 95% of things ObamaCare does.

But it raises premiums 20% and kicks off 16 million people because of higher premiums. Do I have that right?

Yes. And most Republican senators  seem to be aware of that and will vote yes anyway

They're making a short term political calculation that will royally screw them in future elections.

The thing is I don't even get what the short-term benefits are from this.

They get to campaign on having "repealed" ObamaCare and defunded PP.

I Also take this opportunity, if by some small chance a senator is reading this, to express my complete opposition to Skinny Repeal, which will kill 16 million people.

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and assume that no U.S. Senator is reading your post right now.

I think they are doing about 15 more minutes of closing arguments, then presumably they will vote.

I'm really trying to fight off the feeling of hope given that it would be dependent on McCain, but it's creeping in.

Every body language sign points to doom for McConnell, but again, this could change quick.

Every senator has now voted but they are holding the vote open. Pretty strong sign that they don't have the vote

Maybe they're letting him off the hook to vote No?

If McCain actually votes No, he would be the person CNN thinks he is.

That either means they are stuck at 49 or believe they have 51.

Well they definitely don't have 51.

How does he not know that the process they've been using so far only requires a simple majority?
