5. Oh yes, Pence spent 30 minutes in the Senate talking one on one with John McCain.

Watching it all unfold was surreal, they had Pence motorcade driving thru DC at midnight flashers blazing. Then Pence wrangles with McCain for half an hour, leaves to call Donald, comes back to talk to McCain again. Rpub Senators surround Collins, Mukowski McCain twisting arms.

And right at the end almost the last to vote after the 2 GOP women had already voted no, McCain gets up from his desk, walks to the well of the Senate, looks Mitch McConnell in the eye, and gives a thumbs down.

It was maybe the damndest thing Ive ever seen in politics. I dont say that lightly.
