By voting to let the bill advance on Tuesday he set it up to fail on the 51-49 vote. People here didn't (and apparently still don't) understand how the process works.
There were people wishing him a slow and and painful death, and wanting to "piss on his leg" when he voted for the first bill.
Give him some credit due- he voted exactly as he pledged to do in his speech and buried the bill.
