I agree, it was DOA in the Senate, but if all these Republicans who “pledged” they would fight to repeal Obamacare were serious, the cloture vote would have prevailed by a vote of 55 YEA - 43 NAY (that’s along party lines with Flake and Hatch absent, the two Indy’s voting with the RATs, and ardent socialists who claim to be Republicans like Kirk and Murkowski having an epiphany and voting with us).
Of course, the reality is we couldn’t even muster 20 votes against ending debate (let alone 43), because most of the Republicans in the Senate are spineless, including many of the “conservatives” (Coburn, Burr, etc.)
Coburn continues to sicken me.

He’s the last guy I’d figure on getting Potomac fever. Now he’s like a more conservative McCain in the way he trashes his own side. Enjoy your golfing and cocktail parties, Tom.
A lot like the d-bag he talked to there, Morning Joe. Joe was no RINO in his voting record.
