McCain gets his fig leaf to cover his ass, Turtle gets his vote.

Doesn't even have to give AZ anything, McCain just gets his opportunity to enhance the Maverick Myth.

He said point blank he won't vote for the GOP Bill unless it is changed. That's one point that people need to consider. McCain wants the discussion--with both sides involved--to be held in public.

About the most inspired speech I've ever heard McCain give (AND I AM NOT A FAN!!).

McTurtle and Trumpy had to hate it.

Some were overt, some not so. But a lot of it was aimed at the political infotainment culture as well.
