I’m glad the skinny failed. Pubs always want to be 98% as bad as dems and call it a victory.
Would you put your name on bad legislation like that? Trump Care 2% better than Obama Care.
I don’t know why or how McCain sporadically does or says something right. I will probably never know.
I think Harry Browne the old Libertarian candidate used to say. Republicans say vote for us and we’ll take the country to hell six months slower than the Democrats.
I couldn’t find the quote but that is how I remember it.
McCain said he doesn’t believe in passing major legislation along party lines, so he voted to preserve a massive program voted in on party lines.
Nonsense. This would have been an improvement, and merely an incremental step in a long process of unraveling Obamacare.
For now Obamacare stays in place, and working class Americans have no relief. In no way, shape or form will that outcome ever resemble anything right.
If this is a measure that staunch conservative Senators like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Mike Lee could support, then I'll defer to their logic and judgement—and groups like the House freedom Caucus—as opposed to your knee-jerk opposition, which makes the perfect the enemy of the good, and prolongs the misery of every working American and American business.
Republicans say vote for us and we’ll take the country to hell six months slower than the Democrats.
And, ironically, you—along with Senator McCain—side with the Democrats in this instance, leaving every letter of Obamacare in place.
That was the right thing to do? The conservative thing to do?
Congratulations. Well done. You can put the crack pipe down now...
