TheOneAndOnlyT posted:So when exactly does McConnell have to say what "the bill" actually is? Presumably in order to do that 20 hours of debating, the senators have to know what it is they're actually debating. He gave us the schedule this morning. They will first vote on the 2015 repeal, which will likely fail badly. They will then vote on the Cruz amendment, which will also fail badly. After that, they'll have a series of votes to try to pass something called a "skinny repeal", and its not clear if that has 50 votes. If that fails, then McConnell shrugs his shoulders and probably asks for suggestions or moves on. If it passes, then the house either has to vote for skinny repeal, or go to conference. If the house is unable or unwilling to pass skinny repeal, then thats a good sign, because conference committee will be a mess.

Presumably in order to do that 20 hours of debating, the senators have to know what it is they're actually debating. At the end of the 20 hours, when a vote is forced? I think the idea here was to get a blind motion to proceed because everyone can still say "repeal is what I want it to be!" Now the idea is a) Yay we got this far! , and b) dare senators to sink repeal for good.

Man the United States is truly hosed up. I love how Trump, McConnell and their allies always manages the slimmest victory in the end no matter how unlikely it seems just to keep the nightmare going. Can't even say I'm surprised and that it played out in a way that allows Trump to claim credit for influencing Heller which he'll no doubt do so that the bizarre political theater can continue.

I like how Mccain managed to make an otherwise heroic thing like fighting brain cancer at personal risk to yourself to cast an important vote, into a sniveling pathetic cowardly act of a traitor.

What he actually said is he won't vote for the bill as it stands, and that he doesn't think anything will pass, but okay guy.
