    That's the striking thing -- the position of the varying groups of senators voting no shows no logic or consistency either.https://twitter.com/pdmcleod/status/890300986253864960 …

    Portman is a no but weirdly Bill Cassidy voted yes. Cassidy promised he wouldn't support a bill without pre-existing condition protections.

        Clearest sign that they have no idea what they're voting on or even what their position is.

        They're just choosing which attack ads they're making today. Their primary opponents' or their general election opponents'.

        Could it be because they have no clue what they are actually voting on?

        if I had to guess I'd say they're hoping for safety voting for bills they think have no chance of passing

        @JerryMoran has been all over the place. Voted after the 51st 'no' was in. Not reliable to do the right thing when things are close.

        It's almost like they've all decided on an outcome but feel the need for some theater beforehand.

        You can at least explain Grahams no on BCRA but yes on ORRA as a function on his bottomless hatred for Ted Cruz
