Graham-Cassidy might actually have been worse than ObamaCare. At least now homobamacare will go down in the death spiral that was already occurring.

Yes it was the last ditch effort. All they need through September 30th is 51 votes to repeal Obamacare. As of October 1st, they need 60 votes. That will never happen.

Ted Cruz and Mike Lee said they opposed it recently. It was long dead before this attention whore spoke up.

Failure, thy name is GOP.

She voted to repeal only when there was no chance of passage.

What is wrong with the people of Maine that they would continue to elect her? All the people from Maine that I have met seem level-headed and conservative. Where do the people who elect her come from?

Correct you are FRiend. The Uniparty can agree on destroying America for the NWO. It don’t look like tinfoil so much anymore.

Congrats to the no voters for saving Obamacare.

I think a few of us were surprised just how deep and insane the Swamp really is.
We always knew it was there.
We always knew McCain was a Globalist scumbag. (worthy of mention)

Not for 3 years (2020). Wonder if she ran on repeal Obama Care?
GOPe senators who are not up for reelection for three or four years can take turns blocking Obama Care repeal, and put it off indefinitely.

I live in Maine and a lot of people have told me they’ve had it with her.
I wrote in someone else’s name last time this turd was up for re-election.
