McCain helped light the match, then

helped to put out the fire. Does he have "hero syndrome?"

(From Google): The hero syndrome is a phenomenon affecting people who seek heroism or recognition, usually by creating a desperate situation which they can resolve. This can include unlawful acts, such as arson.

This week of Republican bullshit could have been avoided if McCain had just voted "No" the day he flew back. So why did he help enable it? He sure as hell was playing to the cameras with his dramatic thumbs down.

So what do you think? Hero syndrome, or a moment of moral clarity?

1. hell, he could have just stayed home.

his medical situation gave him perfect cover to avoid the whole thing if he didn't want the spotlight.

2. He could have stopped by just staying in bed

3. He's been waiting for the perfect opportunity to punch trump's face in.

Success is the greatest revenge.

4. Possibly a bit of both

He knows this isn't the way to govern a country, but getting to be the hero twice in one week? (First to the tRumpers, then to the rest of us with his two votes) Priceless!

5. The way he did it helped actually kill the bill dead. No more games from mcconnell.

8. Mais oui!

6. My gut says the first vote was a well thought out set up for the second

Sweet revenge for the 'hero' slam, by trump*. What's McCain got to lose?

7. Revenge served cold

when trump called McCain on the Senate floor I would have paid to hear McCain's response

'I got your hero right here' mr president

And then he gave the Turtle the stare down.

Still cannot stand him and the ladies are the real heros here, but I love seeing them eat each other!
