Daily Caller: Senators voted against an amendment to the Senate Obamacare repeal bill that would institute a single-payer system Thursday afternoon, a move meant to coax Democrats into exposing a policy rift within their own party.
Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana, an avid opponent of the single-payer system, sponsored the amendment. Fifty-seven senators voted against the measure, with the remainder of senators voting present.
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont was one of the senators that voted present, which is interesting given his fervent support of a single-payer health care system. The senator campaigned for the presidency in 2016 with a health care platform that pushed for a single-payer system.
Sanders called Daines’ move simply a “political game” which he refused to play.
And McConnell says it is ‘time to move on’. They’ve played everyone with their games. They never intended to repeal ObamaCare. McCain having a terminal illness allowed them all to use him to be one of the 3 needed to finally kill repeal. We don’t want games to expose the obvious. We want action to relieve American citizens suffering from the unnecessary BS imposed by these morons.

Ooooo, so close! You got really close this time! Congratulations! Maybe next election you get lucky and win more seats!
Just like at the carnival, you never really win, and if you do win, the toy is a cheaply made piece of crap from China that’s at least 6 years old.
Dear Congress,
Please stop pretending that you give a shit about the American people. It insults our intelligence and takes time away that you could otherwise use to steal from us and pat yourselves on the back while doing so. Burn in hell you parasitic, cancerous plague of sub-humans
Voting anything but “present” would have tipped the Democrats’ collective hand.
It’s one of the rules Alinsky failed to include: never let them know what you will actually do once you have the power until you actually have the power. (Or, as Nancy put it, you have to pass it to see what’s in it.)
McCain has been braindead for years, his body is just now catching up.
