right now it is 52 to 48, and with McCain out it is 51 to 48

Two republican senators have already said they will not support a repeal without a replace, so that leaves 49 R to 50. Ohio, Nevada most likely are not going for repeal only, so what is McConnel up to?

At this point unless he throws the parliamentarian under the bus he must vote only on Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #2

understood, but unless there is something not too obvious, it does not appear he has the votes for still_one Jul 2017 #4

I don't think he does either,but I won't feel good until it is over for now. Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #7
