Discussion: McCain: Repeal Failure Is Chance To ‘Start Fresh,’ 'Trust Each Other'

The thought is nice, but there is massive payback still due for Merrick Garland. Mitch McConnell must be censured for life for being a dick, and publicly humiliated by walking naked through the streets of DC as citizens he has harmed (99.8%) spit and fling feces and shout “Shame!” at him.

Trust? After the entirety of Pres. Obama’s tenure! The proof is in the pudding NOT in a single vote.

The Republicans really blew it going all in on demagoguery when it came to the ACA. It was basically their idea, and they know it, and they could have helped craft it and be proud of it as a conservative success story. Instead they painted themselves into a corner out of spite and have no way out. Now they own the state of health care in the country. So whatever happens with ACA now, they’ll get none of the credit and all of the blame. Heck of a job.

“They painted themselves into a corner out of spite” Yeah, that, and good old fashioned racism. Lots and lots of racism. The unblackening will have to wait little while longer…

Somewhere Schumer is buying out a D.C. bar and filing it as a business expense after all this bullshit. Bernie meanwhile is bringing in a truckload of Ben and Jerry’s

I am not real sure conservatives understand how many Americans feel about the way they treated Obama and the rest of us the last few years. You will notice that 49 senators were so dickish that they were down with tens of millions losing health insurance.

Thank you for doing the right thing John, but I don’t trust you anymore today than I did yesterday.
Especially since it was the adulation and suspenseful drama you reveled in so much last night Mr. Drama Queen.
But…thanks nonetheless for your vote last night, it was the right thing to do. Hope you’ll continue to do the work to save ACA but I’m not ready to hold my breath on you yet.

Can we at least put a loin cloth on him? Geeez! Not enough brain bleach in the world.

“Trust each other?” “Start fresh?”

Yeah, right.

He sounds like an abusive spouse pleading for one more chance.

And kudos to Schumer for holding the caucus together.

Last night, McCain showed he could be the statesman we always thought he could be.

This almost cancels out the horrific mistake of choosing the Alaskan pole dancer as his running mate.

That’s an insult to Alaskan pole dancers everywhere

Your party would be pleased if all the First Nations people disappeared back to the rez so you wouldn’t have to deal with us. That’s the GOP stance for most of the non-caucasian peoples.

Trust you? How about f*ck you.

Every major program, be it Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security, had some hiccups that needed to be worked out. But back then, we had enough statesmen and women that those issues were eventually resolved. That’s what so sorely lacking today because, instead, we have unprincipled cads like Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell in charge. Perhaps now they’ll be forced to work with Dems, but I won’t hold my breath.

I trust McCain about as far as I can catapult him. It’s great that he wanted to smack down Trump and all, but his nonsense about Dems “ramming through” the ACA just renews my belief that he’s still got plenty of partisan hackery left in him.

“and he didn’t want to make the same mistake as Democrats did with Obamacare by ramming a bill through Congress without bipartisan support, according to an early morning statement.”

Which is BULLSHIT! Why can’t these people tell the truth? It took a year for the ACA to be passed and the Republicans took part in all the hearings. Never forget the ACA at its core is a GOP (Heritage Fund ) plan.
