Will placating the Blusterer in Chief yet require they bring this abomination to a vote? And, if so, failure seemingly assured, will it be a yea or a nay vote that is the politically safer haven for our GOP ‘friends’? Ah, better times, marginally.

Now, would someone please drive a stake through the hearts of McConnell and Trump so we don’t have to deal with this stupid shit, anymore?

Imagine the impending tweet storm. ACA stands. Strange falls. NFL/NBA/and Dale Earnhardt flip off DonnieJohn. Let’s hope he doesn’t start bombing No. Korea in a fit of pique.

Perhaps we’re seeing the limits of big money in politics. Apparently it can get you to within one or two votes of destroying the nation’s healthcare system…not very reassuring.

This makes Trump a two-time loser on Obamacare. Wonder if he knows the skinny black guy got it done the first time around.

I still don’t trust Rand Paul, but after all his kvetching, he’d look like a total ass voting for it. I’ll feel better when Murkowski confirms her no vote. Collins certainly outlined all the reasons why she should.

Considering the abuse Murkowski took last time, I think she’s keeping quiet for a reason. I think she’ll vote against, I just don’t blame her for trying to avoid getting tweeted at.

yay! thanks to everyone in Maine who called, faxed, emailed!

thanks to every one of her constituents who approached her on the street, at events, in the airport to thank her for her last no vote.

Susan Collins did the right thing because of the efforts of all those people.

This is good news, obviously, but I won’t believe it until they actually vote no.

And, yes. Thank you Senators Collins and McCain, and whomever else on the GOP side that’s against it.

But most of all, a big thank you to all the Congressional Democrats and the activists that stuck together 100% and fought this off round after round.

Sen Collins tells the truth about Graham/Cassidy, whereas Cassidy has lied repeatedly about all 4 versions of his farce of a bill. Collins is my hero for the day.
