So does Trumpcare pass the house?

This may be the most tangible sign that McCain is planning to vote no, or at least that his vote is in doubt:

I have no idea how Murkowski is going to end up voting. Keep in mind, though, that she would have won her last race for re-election even if no self-identified Republican had voted. She won in 2010 in a write-in campaign, despite losing the GOP primary. In other words, she’s less beholden to the Republican base than pretty much any Republican senator — with perhaps the exception of Collins.

If they needed Murkowski’s vote, then the Interior Department’s threats to screw over Alaska — presumably ordered by the White House — probably didn’t help. Neither conservatives nor Trump has a lot of leverage over Murkowski, who just won re-election last year and has fought back a lot of more conservative challengers.

I don't believe it. McCain's just being an attention .

So Pence is still in the chamber.

[spurraider21]

What did she mean by that snake? In its full context not just in catchy soundbite context

So they are closing that vote and moving to the McConnell one now. So here is the vote. Should be interesting.

PERRY BACON JR. 1:25 AM

It looks like Pence is out of the room. So that is interesting.

He's not a troll. He's just an intellectually dishonest "non" Trump supporter. Pretty much like any other "conservative" on ST.

PERRY BACON JR. 1:30 AM

McCain thumbs down. Emphatic.

[baseline bum]

Capito voted yes

[baseline bum]

Collins voted no

[baseline bum]

It looks like it was defeated

[baseline bum]

[baseline bum]

Preparing for epic ducks meltdown about McCain, especially after er and Capito voted yes.

I heard a lot of predictions, but none of them said this would fail by a single vote. And yet, it seems that’s what is occurring.

[Reck]

McCcain, Collins and Murkowski all NOs. Death.

Trump thought he could thug his way out of a yes. LOL

[baseline bum]

PERRY BACON JR. 1:39 AM

I assume that the Senate Republican leaders themselves were somewhat surprised by this. They are acting surprised by it. They had Pence come over, but then he was not in the room for the final vote.

[Reck]

Shut the up Turtle. Die somewhere lonely.

[Reck]

Hahahhahahahhahahhahahhah turtle is choking on his own tears.

[baseline bum]

Why did McConnell bring this vote forward if he didn't have 50 votes? Does he just want to wash his hands of healthcare until after picking up more seats from the midterms?
