First John Roberts, now McCain...neither want killing Americans

[adigal]

to be their legacy. Gotta give them both some credit.
And of course, Collins and Murkowski.
I think we should all send then Postcards thanking them. If Collins and Murkowski would change to I, they would change history.

1. Collins and Murkowski should NOT be overlooked here...

THEY showed real courage in steadfast opposition throughout this abortive process.
THEY were threatened, bullied, attacked and stood firm.

McCain's vote is not decisive if EITHER of them had capitulated, so they are the true heroes in this situation. McCain, to his credit, cast what may be the last significant vote of his life on what he felt was right instead of what would have been politically expedient.

Thank yous are due to all 3 senators, but I hope constituents of Capito, Portman, Heller and more have long memories or TVs that are running campaign ads in the next cycle...THEY are the craven and capricious and THEY need to go, now!

2. Roberts

killed Medicaid expansion. He didn't care about people being uninsured.

No hero here.

3. Doubt that was McCain's motivation.

4. If they change to "I".... then Schumer becomes majority leader.

...and that would be awesome.

6. After A LOT of dead people and that would NOT be awesome.

5. McCain owed us that and a lot more

[GeorgeGist]

7. John Roberts gave us Citizens United ...

which gave birth to treachery on all fronts.

8. Even if they changed to "I" they would probably still vote R most of the time...

and caucus with them.
