Sen. John McCain was one of three Republicans who helped shoot down the "skinny" repeal of Obamacare early Friday morning, and two retired D.C. politicians reportedly helped talk him into the "no" vote.

Former Vice President Joe Biden and former Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., both pressed McCain to oppose Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's efforts to advance a plan that ultimately aimed to repeal and replace portions of Obamacare, according to a Washington Post report.....

Nobody is responsible for for McCain’s lies and treachery except McCain himself!!! Not Lieberman, not Biden, they are NOT responsible.

McLiar lied repeatedly during his 2016 senate campaign. He said over and over again in his ads that repealing Obamacare was his biggest priority. There are plenty of campaign ads which document this.

McLiar knew exactly what he was doing when he lied to voters during his 2016 campaign. He pretended to support DJT’s agenda because he knew he had to in order to get re-electted.

And then he showed his true colors when he cast the deciding “no” vote for repealing Obamacare. He is a despicable, treacherous POS, the opposite of a “hero” and a “statesman.”

He’s never gotten over the fact that DJT won big in the 2016 election. McLiar knows deep in his heart of hearts that he was a pathetic big fat LOSER when he ran for POTUS in 2012. McLiar’s hatred and jealousy of DJT has no bounds. What a bitter, petty, mean old man.

Now that McCain is out of the picture (limelight), couldn’t the Senate just vote for the same damned Skinny Repeal and PASS it?

Without McCain’s silly, vain, venomous, hate-filled carcass in opposition, would not the vote be 50-50, with Pence providing the tie-break?

For that matter, with McCain’s diseased brain on ice, aren’t there probably a number of repeal options open to the Senate?

It’s not like he was weighing two competing values. He could preserve tyranny WHILE flipping Trump, real R’s and his constituents the bird. He always supports tyranny, never liberty. No conflict.
