    McCain got to (a) reinforce his maverick image (possibly as his swan song), (b) exact revenge on Trump, & (c) kill a legitimately bad bill.

        It isn't perfect but it rids us of a worse one that was created in a back room and rammed down our throats.

        Wow. You know this one was created in a back room and attempted to be passed in 2 hours? And that NO ONE says it won't do even more harm?

        Or Senator Collins. Or Senator Murkowski. Is all I'm saying. When there are 3, why are we only talking about the one?

        Because, Sens Collins & Murkowski were solid no and McCain was the deciding vote

        Not the deciding vote BUT he flew cross country days after major brain surgery & new terminal Dx... to vote his conscience. Praiseworthy.

        For what it's worth, if he had stayed home to recover, they wouldn't have even passed a MTP. Same result, maybe not as final.

        'replace with something better' is just partisan rhetoric. Can be safely ignored. The Q is what? Answer from Rs is crickets and they know it
