Today, if they voted to repeal in 2015?? I'm looking at you, McCain.

Were you just puffing out your chest two or are you tired of being a Senator?

Trump needs to refrain from bashing Rs over this and single out these 7. He needs to highlight that he has 40ish votes for it and the focus of '18 needs to be flipping those last few votes via the midterms.

It's been hilarious that Republicans control it all and still can't legislate.

You miss the point. They voted for repeal when obama was president knowing he wouldn't sign. Yet know they vote the other way. See this is republicans disagreeing with other republicans. I know you democrats are all lock-step so you don't understand.

Seems like some are disagreeing with themselves, or maybe just the political charade version of themselves.

I don't even know what Republican means at this point but they voted yesterday and we have 45 conservatives max (probably far less) in the Senate. The truth is we don't have a majority,

Yep.
Just as duplicitous as "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."

Trump, McConnell, the RNC and GOP leadership should excoriate any SOBs who voted for repeal in '15 and then flipped their vote. Pure garbage.

I wish Trump would release a tweet showing all the dates these senators voted to repeal Obamacare. It would be visually humiliating and would need 2 or 3 tweets to cover it.

Correct , 6 of the 7 voted to repeal in 2015 when they knew there was zero chance that Obama would sign it or that they would have enough votes to over ride a veto.

They are , as usual, playing games instead of voting for things that are best for we the people.

I am surprised McConnell is forcing this issue. It is going to cost some of the "squishes" he likes their Senate seats.

Trump will, to the best of his ability, support primary challengers for these people.

Progressives should be super happy. They literally have a decent percentage of the GOP that is not so secretely on their side

He was forced to bring about this vote because Rand and others demanded it for voting for further discussion.
