GOP seeks McCain’s return for tight Obamacare vote

By Burgess Everett

07/24/2017 05:08 PM EDT


Senate Republicans are still hoping John McCain makes it to Tuesday's crucial Obamacare repeal vote.

The absence of the Arizona senator, who was diagnosed with brain cancer last week, has made getting 50 votes to start debate on the bill exceedingly difficult. GOP leaders are hoping he can surprise everyone and return Tuesday.

"They were trying to get approval [from his doctors] for his travel arrangements. I've personally volunteered to rent an RV," said Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas. "But we haven't heard anything."

"I understand it is a possibility," said GOP Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi.

Theater.  Kabuki.  No point, because at least three Senators will chicken out.  Leave the man alone.

Kabuki is actually very complex and has a conclusive outcome.

True.  Just like this passion play.

Right. There are already more than enough deep-state progressive Republicans who routinely 'caucus' with the Democrats to kill the bill. They don't need another one.

McCain may show up for the theater of it, but according to what the Liberal Republicans have said, his vote will be meaningless.

Just like a few people on this very site, there are some Republicans in Congress who will never ever, ever, vote with Trump on any issue at all, no matter what the ultimate harm is to America or the American people.They simply don't care about anything except their soul-eating Hate. They are just as viciously against Trump, in some cases more vicious, as any Democrat in Congress.
