This gives McConnell a chance to hold the vote, try to stay on the right side of the base and let Senate work its will. And then move on. - Steven Dennis

I really hopes this way.

2. Dear Mitch: Unplug Your Mic And Press Play On Your Recording Device

You Say The Same Shit Over And Over, Just Press Play.

3. How is that going to help with those GOP senators who were concerned about medicaid

And other similar issues? About folks with preexisting conditions? Mind you that number is only 3 or 4 but that's enough

4. Party suicide

5. If they repeal it it will remain repealed until Democrats hold both the house and Senate majorities.

And even then it may not be revived based on the extreme effort it took to get it passed in the first place.
Certainly not while a Republican president remains.

So they could go back and tell their money-people they kept their promise.
