The Republicans couldn't even get all of their own Senators to vote for their own bill!

The U.S. Senate has 51 Republicans and 49 Democrats (including two independents), and McConnell still couldn't get all his Republicans to vote, but he's trying to blame Dems?

Only five Democrats voted to advance the bill — Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Joe Donnelly (Ind.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.) and Claire McCaskill (Mo.), who are all up for reelection this year in states carried by President Trump in 2016 election, and newly-elected Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.).

Republicans were also not united, as Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Mike Lee (Utah) and Jeff Flake (Ariz.) also voted against advancing the legislation. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who is battling brain cancer, was absent.

The procedural vote remained open late Friday, though it needed 60 votes to pass and was well short of that number with 48 senators voting against it.

I wonder if Trump will still go to his party at Mar-A-Lago to celebrate?

1. I bet he quietly flew out to go there well before the vote.
