If Arizona Senator John McCain were a Hollywood actor, he’d always be type cast as a disruptive maverick, never the leading man or a character actor.
Early this morning, as the U.S. Senate tried one more time to pass legislation to change Obamacare, he played true to form by joining two other Republican senators in casting the deciding vote to kill the GOP plan for a “skinny repeal” of Obamacare.
The 51-49 vote to defeat the amendment after 1:30 a.m. dashed Republican hopes of a tie vote that would enable Vice President Mike Pence to cast a tiebreaker and pass the legislation. An audible gasp went through the chamber when McCain voted.
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine had already signaled their intentions to break ranks and vote with the Democrats. It was McCain’s vote that provided the killing blow.
Find out on the next page what McCain’s vote means for future attempts to change or repeal Obamacare and how President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are reacting to the defeat of the bill.
A maverick? Lol, just a liberal$#%&!@* Vote him out in 2018
This is nothing but more “bread and circuses” brought to you by our friends in the democrat, liberal progressive and establishment politician crowd. And another example of the swamp in Washington. And why it needs to be drained.
They are corrupt, dishonest and unethical. They are only concerned with their power, money and control. And will do/say anything and everything to keep it.
If there’s nothing shady going on, Ask yourself, how do so many of the corrupt ones leave office with millions, on their salaries???
I’m afraid he is trying to grow his legacy as the great mediator at the expense of his party. How many democrats did he get to change their votes?
Why didn’t this “maverick”, go to a VA hospital for his brain tumor treatment?
Traitor!
They didn’t read the first one before passing, but block this to save face…. can’t fix stupid.
I bet somebody paid him
He probably has a huge sum of money coming his way in the future
And if McCain had Obama care right now it would kill him.
Maverick I have many names for him, maverick is not one of them
