2. It's sad she even has to say this

3. It was groveling to people like her that stopped us from getting the public option

I'm glad she is blocking the bill tho. That said, she's no hero of mine.

8. If we'd gotten the public option they'd still be fighting to defeat the ACA. nt

5. Sure, Susan, let's see you put your vote where your mouth is.

6. Exactly.

7. ...but I will vote for it if needed to get to 50, and Pence will break the tie

Because that is the deal I have with the GOP...I get to pretend to be independent about a week before critical votes

It's not a bill she can support, but it probably IS a bill she will vote for if McTurtle tells her to.
