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.
What was changed in the newer bill?

DeleteThe first paragraph gives an overview of the contents of this newest proposal.
There is no where in the past that John McCain ever supported the ACA before the vote this summer. Never. He voted to not let Trumpcare come to fruition thereby screwing over Trump and getting back to his so called regular order. John McCain hasn't changed---he just likes his revenge served cold.
ReplyDeleteHe is a power tripper.
DeleteHe's got a glioblastoma. Whatever he does, he better do it fast. Odds are stacked heavily against him. His influence is soon to disappear. Seems kind of funny that a health issue is going to take him out just as he votes against health care. Karma has a helluva sense of humor.

Trump Tears Apart The GOP By Dissing Ryan And McConnell While Complimenting Democrats
While talking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump dissed Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell by not even mentioning their names while talking up his deal with Schumer and Pelosi.

Why Did Trump Shiv the GOP?
Delete...Trump abruptly agreed to a Democratic proposal for a three month debt ceiling extension tied to Harvey relief aid. Democrats were so stunned they tried to go as lo-fi as they could with their victory lap, fearful that any overt celebration would prompt Trump to reconsider. This late Times report confirms that even Trump’s Treasury Secretary, the husband of actress Louise Linton, was caught off guard.
So what’s up with this?

Nancy Pelosi And Chuck Schumer Just Cock-Slapped Trump, AND HE LIKED IT
Delete...So basically Pelosi and Schumer went into a meeting with Trump and got Mr. Art Of The Deal to give them everything they wanted. (They did this back in May too!) And how did they do that? Did they give Trump a framed county-by-county electoral map, as former Wonker Jim Newell teased on the Twitter? Did they tell him he has the prettiest appleheaded vagina mouth they’ve ever seen? Or did they do it more good cop/bad cop, where Chuck Schumer said nice New York words at Trump while Pelosi jammed her high heel into his neck and called him a pussy?

Trump sides with Democrats in debt limit, funding, Harvey deal
DeleteDonald Trump, who casts himself as a master negotiator, took the first offer Democrats put on the table.
Republicans left the Oval Office Wednesday stunned. Trump had quickly sided with Democrats on a short-term debt ceiling increase, even overruling his own Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to concur with "Chuck and Nancy," as he later called them on Air Force One.
But Trump defied more than his top aides. He turned on Republican leaders in Congress when he caved to Democrats’ demands to raise the debt limit and fund the government for three months, setting up a brutal year-end fiscal cliff. The move shocked everyone, as top White House officials and GOP leaders had been gearing up to raise the debt ceiling through the 2018 midterm election, looking to pass legislation as soon as Friday.
But even after Mnuchin, Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pushed back on the Democratic demands in the meeting, Trump agreed to the three-month deal that will also head off the possibility of a government shutdown until mid-December.
During the meeting, Ryan sharply criticized the Democratic proposal, a source familiar with the exchange said. But Schumer reminded him that Ryan had supported short-term increases in the past intended to help create bipartisan deals in 2013.
So after Democrats rejected GOP proposals to raise the debt ceiling for 18 months, and then six months — Trump endorsed Schumer’s three-month pitch.
The Treasury Department will likely be able to buy more time for Congress on the debt limit into 2018. But the Wednesday deal still means Congress will have to raise the debt ceiling, negotiate a massive trillion-dollar spending bill, and potentially hash out a deal on immigration all at once or in quick succession.
Democrats were gleeful.

From Pelosi and Schumer
Delete"In the meeting, the President and Congressional leadership agreed to pass aid for Harvey, an extension of the debt limit, and a continuing resolution both to December 15, all together. Both sides have every intention of avoiding default in December and look forward to working together on the many issues before us. As Democratic leaders, we also made it clear that we strongly believe the DREAM Act must come to the floor and pass as soon as possible and we will not rest until we get this done."

GOP livid after Trump cuts deal with Democrats
ReplyDelete...To conservatives, Trump’s turn toward the Democratic leaders pointed to a further fracturing of the GOP on fiscal issues — on the heels of its split over Trump’s decision to end protections for some young immigrants. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) declared the “Pelosi-Schumer-Trump” deal simply “bad” — but others fretted about a new, more liberal-leaning dynamic.
“It’s just a betrayal of everything we’ve been talking about for years as Republicans,” said former Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who headed the Heritage Foundation and is still an influential conservative leader. “What the president’s going to find is … if they bet on Democratic votes they better plan on [giving up] a lot more than they think they’re going to.”
Republican Study Committee Chairman Mark Walker (R-N.C.) said he was “taken aback” by the deal and seemed blindsided by the president’s decision.

ReplyDelete...Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Wednesday said he wants to see the final draft of a plan by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) to repeal Obamacare before he commits to a final position on the proposal.
“While I support the concept of the Graham-Cassidy proposal, I want to see the final legislation and understand its impact on the state of Arizona before taking a position,” McCain said in a statement Wednesday evening.
“As I have said all along, any effort to replace Obamacare must be done through the regular order of committee hearings, open debate and amendments from both sides of the aisle,” he added.

Jumped-Up Christ on a fucking Segway McCain, after voting against the so-called “skinny” repeal of the Affordable Care Act in July, has given some careful thought to the prospect of his legacy, and now says he’d just love to kill Obamacare through the terrible bill by Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy, which would convert the ACA into a block-grant program through the states.
We warned you not to assume the monster’s dead, even if the credits have rolled.

If you look at his whole public life (not the lies) he has always been an un-honorable jerk, 99.9% of the time. Sarah Palin told the story of McCain, if you thought before he was the PR part of his written history. Sarah exposed him to those willing to look.
ReplyDeleteIf you look into his public life (and before) he has been dishonest and just an asshole. He has consistently voted against anything that would help people. I was surprised he cast the vote to save ACA. I hoped with his health situation he realized how critical ACA is.Nope.
