What Senate Democrats Did Was Brilliant As Republicans Vote To Move Forward On Healthcare Bill

Senate Republicans have decided to go it alone down a path of pain for millions of Americans and destruction of their futures by voting to move forward on a plan to take healthcare away from millions of Americans, and with one great move, Democrats made sure that Trump and the GOP own it.

Swing votes Capito, Heller, and Portman all voted to move forward with debate.

Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voted no.

Democrats would not vote until after all Republicans had voted, just to make sure that all of America knows who is responsible for this.

John McCain flew in on a private jet, while battling brain cancer, just so he could vote to take healthcare away from other people:

There was drama as Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) was seen having a very tense conversation with McConnell on the Senate floor:

With the vote to move forward stuck at 48-2, Johnson was the make or break vote.

The conversation between Johnson, McConnell, and Cornyn didn’t look friendly:

Johnson voted to move forward, and then Democrats rolled in with a unanimous no vote.

Trump said that Democrats would own healthcare, but Senate Democrats pulled off a brilliant move that made it clear who really owns this bill, and who will be held responsible for all of the chaos that is about to follow. Healthcare now belongs to the Republicans, and voters will make them pay the price in 2018.
