| No seriously, do you see that spot on it? That look like cancer to you? |
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday that he supports a newer version of an ObamaCare repeal-and-replace bill, throwing some support behind the last-ditch effort.
McCain said he backs a bill from Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) that would convert ObamaCare spending into block grants for states.
Asked if he supported it, McCain told reporters, "Yes. You think I wouldn't be?"
Graham is one of McCain's closest friends.
Fucker!
This is why I was not among those blowing kisses at McCain after he cast his deciding vote to stop the GOP repeal and replace runaway train the last time.
I KNEW he could never be counted on to stand his ground for long.
Even though Trump has already said that he would sign this newer version, all is not yet lost.
The measure faces long odds, despite the boost from McCain. The White House is pushing for it, but Senate GOP leadership has so far not expressed interest publicly.
Republicans face a tight deadline of Sept. 30, when the fast-track process known as reconciliation needed to pass a repeal bill without Democratic votes expires.
So it is still somewhat unlikely that this thing will make it to a vote by the deadline.
But let's not forget that there is still a long way to 2018.
I fucking KNEW that McCain could not be counted on to hold the line for long.
I swear he shifts positions every time the wind blows.
Hopefully at least Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins will remain more steadfast in their opposition.
