The people who are thanking John McCain are the Republican congressmen who didn't want to pass the bill but had a constituency polling for passage. Knowing McCain would stop the bill they were free to vote 'yes' when they really wanted to vote 'no.'
yes, let's not pretend that they aren't secretly thanking mccain. hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it was planned. since he is in all likelihood going to die soon.

One that is not thanking him is Mitch McConnell. All other things aside, having a bill you bring to the floor fail when you have a majority is a major, major failure.
But I agree, this is actually a good outcome for Republicans, politically speaking. No telling what happens in conference, and had the House passed this skinny repeal it would have been disastrous.

I think it was. Make the "effort" to repeal without the nasty consequences of being tied to the the resulting failures. It's long enough out from 2018 elections that you can pass a tax cut and placate the base.

Trump should say to Congress and Senate. Since you don't want to improve health care law. You need to be on it.
