There are video clips floating about devoted entirely to showing the dramatic few seconds on the Senate floor when Sen. John McCain cast his no-vote to Obamacare repeal.
Pick one and watch it. They’re good visuals of what betrayal looks like. Title it: Traitor takes the stage.
Now some will no doubt call that ridiculous — that McCain, who cast the vote that denied Republicans in the Senate their seven-year dream of Obamacare repeal, can’t be guilty of betrayal because he’s not, and never has been, a GOPer. So how could be betray something he’s never been part of or represented, right?
Well, there is that. There is that point. But it’s a potatoes-potahtoes argument.
The fact is, McCain still wears the Republican pin. And on that score, on Obamacare, he really showed his RINO roots, his leftist leanings.
This is how it played. Just feet from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, McCain stands, extends his arm. The chamber is silent. Suddenly, McCain cups his hand and with a quick flick, turns his thumb downward. Gasps echo and McConnell’s mouth draws tight. McCain lumbers back to his seat, and Obamacare repeal fails, 49-51.
Game over. Drama done. And now, hours after the fact, voters are left picking through the news, trying to discern the reasons Republicans ceded this battle to the Democrats.
Well, here’s a quick and simple thought..

Actually there is nothing further from the truth. McCain is a hero for conservative causes. Do your homework.
McCain has no idea what OB care has done to the people who, if they cannot afford to pay, are now on Medicaid. People who are left with no choice and probably the clinic versus a really good doc. He is afforded the best care in the country. The best doctors. If you are on Medicaid you have to pay for the best docs cause they don't take Medicaid.
mccain is a warmonger spoiled little rich kid lived off daddy's admiral position, married ultra rich and forever believes his bs! when chucky shumer sings your praises that's all one needs to know! This pos deserves an agonizing death!
And always have been a traitor to the cause. If he had been a hero, that doesn't give him a free pass to go against America.
Had he gone to a VA hospital I would have thought more highly of him.We need to wait and see who is right about the repeal issue,because until Ocare is repealed and replaced those among us who may fall victim to a poor decision won't really understand what happened.
When Joe Biden calls he listens.
McCain thinks a bit too highly of himself. That's why he's been traveling the world spouting his own brand of foreign policy, undercutting the legitimately-elected President of the United States (and perhaps appeasing his friend George Soros.)
And maybe his dramatic negative vote on the healthcare bill was really just a tantrum.
McCain is a liberal lapdog.

I think you are the one who should do his homework. There are plenty of articles and videos about this loser from the other vets who were there with him. Just type in songbird mccain to get you started.
For the truth about McCain just Google "Johnny wet start" also check out his pow propaganda videos, Trump was right, McCain is no hero!
McCain is a good guy.
Main is a pos that did this move in a vengeful mode.
Call the vote again, he made his statement and will probably give in or pay one of his "partners" to do it for him.
Let's get this crap DONE!
