This bill was seen as by far the most likely version to go through and it failed right off the bat!! You have to think after McCain's standing ovation return last week, his yes vote in that vote and now him voting no was somehow planned by him to have the maximum effect and do as much damage to trump as he could!!! There is definitely a bit of a change in the anger though, some is directed at the 3 Republicans who voted no, some at Obama/Democrats but really for the first time some is aimed at the administration, not specifically trump, but the White House!! That is good, and hopefully we will see more going forward.
For now they are going to leave Healthcare alone and move onto taxation and other legislation, lets see if that gets bogged down as well.
Mccain killed it by voting to allow it on the floor,had he allowed it to die at committee stage they could have issued another repeal bill now they can't revisit it this fiscal year.
Mccain has totally fucked trump up the arse with this one. Deliberately so i'd guess. Good on him!
