According to Igor Bobic on Twitter, Pence has left the chamber. No chance for a tie?
And what I’m reading is that McCain is voting no.
I’m just a shill.
Yes, I’m only a shill.
And I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it’s a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It’s a long, long wait
While I’m sitting in committee,
But I know I’ll be a star someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a shill.
Per Igor, Pence has come back. McCain, meanwhile, is hugging various Democrats.
I’m watching the CNN live fee. Frustratingly, I can’t recognize most of these people.
Sounds like Murkowski may be the deciding vote. Five Senators on all sides are squeezing her like a lime.
The Turtle has called for a vote on his skinny bill.
ETA: McCain and Murkowski both no votes. This could be tanking.
McCain and Murkowske voted no
Collins, NO
Skinny repeal is dead!
The Noes have it!
FAIL. Hah.
Tomorrow’s Tweets should be GOLD, Jerry, GOLD!
Anyone else looking forward to the tweet tantrums? (Twantrums?)
LOL now the Turtle is blaming everything on Collins, Murkowski, and McCain. Wudn’t us…
I have three words for him: IN YOUR FACE!
And now, the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. And the tears of turtle are as diamonds in the sun…
…the orange man is going to be pissed.
Congrats to the Democrats, the resistance, and the Republicans that voted no. I don’t really like McCain. But the orange man is going to put the blame for this on him: so I hope that everybody not only give him a break, but push back when it comes, because it is going to come.
Is the Turtle’s little lip quivering in his post-mortem speech? Someone get him a piece of lettuce to nibble!
And McCain gets back just a smidge of respect as we get a glimpse of the man he used to be. I have definite new respect for Murkowski too; she stood up to a lot of pressure to do what she actually thought was best for her state. Now how long before the next repeal attempt? Will they try again before the recess? Will they try for tax reform first?
I look forward to hearing the whiny little bitch’s finest whines.
Cratered. Augered in. Faceplant, terminal velocity. Ballistic impact. This is an ex-bill.
I sent a thank you to McCain.
Yeah, he was one seriously upset Turtle. I thought we were going to see some turtle tears for a moment.
