3. yeahhhh! thank you. n/t

[Achilleaze]

4. Because it's a super sucky republican attack on Americans

and American health. It is so sucky it's almost as if the freaking evil empire* of russia suggested it to further screw-up America, as if their puppet, Comrade Casino, republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, were not already punishment enough for decent folk.

5. you have a conscience????? since when????

[Kaleva]

6. We should be thrilled.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

20. DO NOT TRUST HIM or any of them until the vote is over and it is Oct 1st!

Stay vigilant and keep calling until Oct 1st. Only then can you breadth a legitimate sigh of relief. McCain is a well proven grandstander. There is too much to lose and we can not be lulled into a false sense of security. McConnell must have a win...he is evil...remember Gorsuch??? Also Joy Reid said last night that her GOP sources told her that the mega rich donors are putting a lot of pressure on the GOP. They have already invested tons of money so they can get their tax cuts. This is about corruption and money. None of them gives a shit about people's lives. MONEY IS THEIR ONLY DRIVING FORCE! Keep calling, PLEASE!

26. YES. This.

Not holding my breath. Graham and McCain are famous friends. I don't believe that McCain will not ultimately go to the dark side. Even if he doesn't, deals are being made behind the scenes and bribes are being offered. This isn't over...not by a long shot.

[mountain grammy]

23. Maybe someone inserted one while his head was opened.

[Major Nikon]

24. Reportedly he grew a conscience after the Keating 5 scandal

Just not enough of one to even begin to pay back the millions they stole from old people.

[Weekend Warrior]

33. Not really.

He does remember what Trump said about him.

[treestar]

7. Is he having another attack of conscience?

Go John Go! Only this can save us from ACA repeal. Get Collins and whoever else it is back on side, too.

[world wide wally]

18. Nothing to do with the bill itself.

He just opposes the fact that is is not being done in regular order.
He will vote for it in January when it comes up again, so save your accolades.

[nolabear]

8. Sonofagun!

Maybe that tumor has made him think about what being sick is.

[ecstatic]

9. THANK YOU JIMMY KIMMELL!

Of course McCain can't vote for it now that the GOPenis has been exposed!

But one thing I will give McCain credit for is not making millions of vulnerable people agonize and wait to hear what the hell he was going to do.

[janterry]

10. Great news!

[workinclasszero]

11. Awesome! (if confirmed)

[flamingdem]

12. Why should he care about Koch Bro money at this point

Good on him anyway.

[peacebuzzard]

13. Thank you, maverick! Hero of the day! And a Great post + song,

Rejoice America!
As mentioned up this thread, McCain relieved pressure by not waiting for that final tally, hear a pin drop, moment.

[Warpy]

14. Maybe he saw his younger self on "Vietnam" on PBS

(and yes, you can bet he's watching it) and thought if he accepted his bribes and got Cindy a big tax cut he'd be letting his younger self down. In any case, he's no fool, he doesn't want to be associated with this theft from the American people.

[crosinski]

16. He might be a hero, but he's played this yes or no game so much his edges are getting blurry. n/t

[AllyCat]

17. Maybe he has no conscience? I'll believe it when I see it

GOP are scum.

[muntrv]

19. Did Mitch pout with his arms folded?

[spanone]

21. hey republicans, shove that up your royal asses....

thank you senator mccain

[Raven]

22. He did it because he knows that

he has the best insurance in the world and will need it to endure what he is facing...
he did it because Koch money means nothing to him now...
he did it because he no longer has political ambitions but wants to protect his legacy...
he did it because he despises Donald Trump.

[onecent]

25. You are a master!!! And I'm

awfully sorry to hear about this tumor in your brain. I've said so many prayers for you, and was even
crying on the call I made to your number this morning.

ALL MY WISHES GO WITH YOU, Thank you for doing what is right here also!

27. Awesome indications but it's like one of these tropical storms

You have to wait until the danger has fully and officially passed, and not place ultimate faith in favorable models a week away.

Regardless, I'm returning to much better news than when I left to help a relative several hours ago. All year I've been expecting them to repeal at deadline. I'll be thrilled to be wrong.

[nini]

28. I think a lot of it is sticking it to Trump too

He's heard all that crap Trump has said about him etc.. and knows what a jerk he is.

This is giving him the middle finger to be able to stop him getting something he wants so bad.

[Kaleva]

29. Maybe McCain has Trump's comments about POWs at the back of his mind.

32. Will one of the lady senators please stick it with a fork.
