Sounds like Trump’s gambit with Pelosi/Schumer is already starting to pay dividends.

I wonder how the Trump/Ryan dinner at the White House went tonight, that would have been interesting to watch!

McCain’s just jealous that Trump is doing an end run to schmooze with his buddies!

From what was posted I don’t know what this is about.
It doesn’t say what this McCain-Grahnesty bill would do.

Very interesting.

This may confirm a suspicion I had going all the way back to the spring of this year when President Trump first began to focus on ObamaCare as his top legislative priority.

1. He got a lot of criticism from conservative pundits who thought he should have tackled tax reform first because it was less contentious.

2. Some of us pointed out here on FR that ObamaCare had to be done first, because Congress needed a favorable CBO estimate with lots of health care spending reductions before they could do a "revenue-neutral" tax reform plan.

3. Yesterday's government spending and debt limit deal bought everyone three months to get both of these done before the end of the 2017 tax year.

It almost doesn’t matter what it would do. The single most important thing for the ObamaCare reform bill is that it must show a lot of reductions in Federal health care outlays over the next ten years. That’s what they need before they can do any tax reform.

Blah blah blah. McCain, you screwed us over bad. Go away. Just go away.

And lets hope the voters in your state remember your shenanigans and vote your arse out.

Maybe Trump’s little stunt yesterday showed some of these Republicans that they’re not as important in a House or Senate vote as they think they are.

Graham-Cassidy & Heller actually:

The measure, introduced by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Dean Heller, R-Nev., would give states block grants to decide their own health insurance systems.

That’s not repeal. Its spending the same amount of money we still can’t afford.

“McCain, you screwed us over bad. Go away. Just go away.”

I think Juan might be getting a little scared. This week there was talk of a much more in-depth investigation regarding the origins of the fake “golden showers” dossier to set up Trump. We know McCain was involved to some extent. I’m betting he was the instigator.

That would not surprise me at all in fact it makes sense.

McCain is a dirty rotten scoundrel. Actually most of “them” are.

Lets hope so.

I have very little respect for the guy. Scary that he might have been our president.

He thought that he’d jab at Trump by voting against the repeal bill only he ended up hurting average folks like me.

No, the bill was not perfect but it was a start. He is responsible for its demise and now he wants to make amends. Too late, Juan. Too late for you bub.

I wonder how many of his constituents feel the same way? I hope, a lot.

Enter Rand Paul. There will always be a Republican who whines about not getting what they want and with The women in the party always finding a reason (why is that Lisa girl even in the party at all?)any other voice of opposition means Obamacare lives.
