Back when he was a candidate for President, Trump he made the mistake of not knowing the history of P.O.W's, of military POW's & specifically John McCain when he was a POW for years of Vietnam and belittling the fact that he had become a POW in an off the wall & unwise remark. I think that McCain never got over those hurt feelings and has since been out to go against anything that Trump put forward. Though I am a Trump supporter now, I think one of his failings maybe that he has not apologized to McCain. Now since learning about the importance of the military, the history of the military and now getting behind the military he still has not made things right with McCain,
McCain should have retired years ago but I think he's still harboring a grudge against Trump & now he's done the wrong thing for the American public when he could have done the right thing and all over a petty grudge. This was done after campaigning to repeal & replace Obamacare.
IMO....McCain has in an act of vengeance, smeared his own good name among conservatives who put him forth as a candidate for the very office Trump won.
The funny part is if three Democrats had stopped Obamacare you would have hailed them as heroes. Every Representative and Senator should vote their conscience. The idea you must align with the party even when you believe it is wrong doesn't make sense.
McCain ran for re-election on repealing Obamacare...as did Murkowski, who has written multiple op-eds denouncing ACA. They both voted for repeal in 2016...when they knew it would be vetoed. Like Obama and the Dems, they are liars and hypocrites on this issue.
Incorrect, they are for the repeal - just not the method, btw where were you when Rand Paul and Cruz were about to vote against the other "repeal" bill
The so called 'skinny repeal' bill included exactly what they have both claimed they wanted in the past...when they simply used the issue for political cover.
And,I'm not in the habit of protesting 'about to vote' instances.![]()
They included what they wanted but the way the bill was manufactured by McConnell was not a method these senators, specifically McCain, liked. By the way, McConnell should be replaced as the Senate Majority Leader.
