It's 1:45 in DC. Mainly for the cleaning staff, that bar on 45th and Potomac that stays open until 2:30, and the cats that walked over the remote and accidentally turned it to CSPAN.

McCain could have stopped the process he railed against from the very beginning.

Then he said he wouldn't vote for the BCRA in its present form then voted for it anyway.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, wasn't his yes vote to proceed with bringing it to a vote...while saying he wasn't going to vote for it in its current state? Though I can't blame people for not believing this word on this.

So now that they can't run on having successfully repealed Obamacare, and they're failing all of their party leader's promises, the Reps have....nothing "positive" to run on next year? Are they just going to have to run on fuck ACA again? What does a Republican run on in 2018?

Guess some wild card could still happen.

looks that way.
so now if they try to force another vote anytime this year or hell, next year, they can point to the failures in this one and say "no, we don't need to talk about it."

they barely passed that this time, they won't be so lucky next time.

He voted yes on MTP.

They brought up the BCRA for a vote, that he said he would not vote for in its current form.

He voted yes on it.

He voted no on a 2015 repeal bill and no tonight.

Yeah. He then followed that up by voting to amend the House bill to BCRA, though (which he said he couldn't support hours earlier). In some ways it was a meaningless vote because it wasn't Byrd compliant and thus needed 60, but yeah.

Literally the only bright side here for him is that he didn't vote for a bill that would have completely gutted Medicaid.
