There's the magnificent 7. I know heller is up in '18 and not sure who, if anyone, from the gopE bunch is going to toss their hat in the ring. Jacky rosen from Vegas is one of the dementocrat runners. We already have cat mantos as the hairy screed replacement unit so I hardly think we need another dem from NV. We're already in deep doo doo.

I wonder how West Virginians feel about their Republican U.S. Senator stabbing President Trump in the back, considering it was the most pro-Trump state in November 2016.

I’m curious as to their motive(s) for this vote. Especially since they voted to repeal it, previously.

Only seven? The New York Times said "soundly rejects."

Pretty simple to me. When they knew Barry would veto a repeal, they voted for it, to satisfy conservatives. Now that it really matters, it turns out their loyalties are with people other than conservatives.

2016 Republican Platform:
Any honest agenda for improving healthcare must start with repeal of the dishonestly named Affordable Care Act of 2010...

We agree with the four dissenting judges of the Supreme Court: “In our view, the entire Act before us is invalid in its entirety.” It must be removed and replaced with an approach based on genuine competition, patient choice, excellent care, wellness, and timely access to treatment. To that end, a Republican president, on the first day in office, will use legitimate waiver authority under the law to halt its advance and then, with the unanimous support of Congressional Republicans, will sign its repeal.


The Senate's so called "straight repeal" does not repeal ACA, it amends it.

Repeal is simple:

“Effective as of Dec. 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.”

That’s it for voting at all for me.

We may as well wait for the full stall and spin and hope that civil war II will result in a positive outcome.

I have had it with these idiots. From now on, if I come across a congresscritter of either party, I shall give them the finger. And that will be a tribute far more than the vermin deserve.

And when the time comes for them to reap their rewards, I fully hope that they suffer.

Greatly.

Well we hope you still have coverage in case you’re wounded during Civil War II. ;-)

Crap. I just remembered the “act of war” clause in the policy. Guess I’ll sit this one out. LOL!

More like the “Malfeasant Seven”...they’re going to cost a lot of RINOs their seats in 2018.

A 55 to 45 vote is a pretty sound defeat.

So is everyone still proud of McCain for showing up to vote on healthcare? Breitbart has quotes from each one of these senators on the campaign trail calling for repeal of obamacare.

“.....proud of McCain....” Paraphraing moochie from a few years ago? (first time I’m proud of my country) Haven’t been proud of mclame for a LONG time. Obviously the tumor has been causing an issue for a long time now. Some people don’t know when to quit. Others think nothing can get done unless they’re involved.

McLame’s much lauded return to Capitol Hill is reminiscent of his presidential election where he also showed up for a photo session and then promptly conceded the race.

But since he’s here, has anyone bolded up enough yet to ask him why he felt it necessary to dispatch a ‘courier’ to Europe to collect the phony dossier - after the election ? Or why he felt it necessary to travel to other countries recently to put America and the President down?

So these reps are for the hurt the middle class taxpayer individual mandate. Or maybe they haven’t voted on the repeal of the mandate yet?
