Biden lobbied McCain on healthcare vote: report

Former Vice President Joe Biden reportedly called Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) ahead of Friday's vote on Senate Republicans' healthcare bill, asking that he oppose the legislation.
According to a report by The Washington Post, McCain was called by both Biden and former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) ahead of the vote, both pleading with McCain to oppose the "skinny' repeal.
Lieberman supported voting for ObamaCare while a senator, and reportedly explained that continued support to McCain during his call.
The Post reported that Biden had a more emotional discussion with McCain, reflecting on his son Beau Biden's death to the same brain cancer McCain was diagnosed with earlier this month. Biden's son died in 2015, two years after his initial diagnosis.

Not surprising. McCain has sided with Democrats so many times that I don't think Biden's call would have mattered. I'm sure McCain had already made up his mind by then.

and yet McCain tries to play it off as if the bill weren't a strong enough repeal, that's his excuse. Hopefully some of the blind will have their eyes opened a bit, but I won't hold my breath.

If Trump declares war on Obamacare, McCain will fall over himself trying to destroy it without regard to the objectives or benefits.

It is insane. ObamaCare has nothing to do with McCain or Beau Biden's brain cancer. Accept maybe the Mayo clinic type of places said no to ObamaCare.

And neither a-hole HAD Obamacare....they have their own little insurance/healthcare system.

And? Trump called himself minutes before he voted for the same purpose? Pence met him in person to lobby him. What's your point?

McCain gave us Obama. He is the biggest piece of shite in modern American political history.
