Trump pessimistic on ObamaCare repeal: ‘That’s the end of that’
Trump pessimistic on ObamaCare repeal: ‘That’s the end of that’

President Trump sounded a pessimistic note Monday on the latest GOP effort to repeal ObamaCare, and blamed Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for costing his party a victory.
Trump did not give up all hope on the bill, but suggested it would not get the 50 votes — assuming a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Pence — it needed to clear the Senate because of opposition from McCain, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and other Republicans.
“Looks like Susan Collins and some others who will vote against,” Trump said during an interview on the “Rick & Bubba” radio show. “We’re going to lose two or three votes and that’s the end of that.”
Trump also criticized McCain, whose thumbs down killed a slimmed-down ObamaCare repeal bill in July, and who announced his opposition to the latest measure on Friday.
Trump said that “the only reason we don’t have” repeal is “because of John McCain.”
“What McCain has done is a tremendous slap in the face of the Republican party,” Trump said. “Without John McCain, we already have the health care.”
McCain on Friday said he “cannot in good confidence” vote for the latest ObamaCare repeal attempt from Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.). McCain took issue with the rushed nature of the bill, saying it did not go through the normal committee process.
Collins on Sunday said it was “very difficult” for her to imagine voting for the bill.
Republicans can only lose three votes. McCain and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) have both said they are opposed.
Senate Republicans need to pass the bill before Sept. 30. After this week, they will lose the ability to use special budgetary rules on ObamaCare repeal that prevent a Democratic filibuster, further dooming their effort.

It's not about 22 million people who won't have healthcare insurance....
Its about the 300 million who can't afford to pay the worthless Obamacare premiums!

Exactly. It's also about the millions who are being taxed because they can't afford insurance, and the millions of small businesses who are being penalized with taxes if they expand over 50 but who can't afford company provided health insurance. These Senators are just like the Senators who destroyed Rome. It's treachery to 9th degree.
