McConnell wins again, and gets to blame it all on the leftist ladies from Maine and Alaska, and doddering “maverick” in Arizona. If McConnell wanted it passed, it would have passed. The fact that McCain is still Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Collins is still Chairwoman of the Committee on Aging, and Murkowski is still Chair of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, says it all. They voted no with the permission of McConnell and the entire GOPe Senate leadership team.
Supposedly, according to Trump, he’s been on the phone yelling at Senators to pass SOMETHING. Apparently he didn’t make a good case to close the deal. So much for 3D or whatever level chess he is credited with playing.

Vote them out and fix how campaigns are financed.
1-No PACs
2-No Corporate or Union donations
3-No Foreign donations
4-Max what an individual can donate cash wise, but they can donate all their time.
Excellent point. Of all those millions Senators somehow acquire I wonder how much is from Big Med?
