Trump SHREDS McCain On Obamacare Hypocrisy

Yet again, John McCain has destroyed any chance of moving forward with repealing and replacing Obamacare.

Un-FREAKING-believable.

I am LIVID….and so it Trump.

John McCain never had any intention of voting for this Bill, which his Governor loves. He campaigned on Repeal & Replace. Let Arizona down!

Arizona had a 116% increase in ObamaCare premiums last year, with deductibles very high. Chuck Schumer sold John McCain a bill of goods. Sad

Large Block Grants to States is a good thing to do. Better control & management. Great for Arizona. McCain let his best friend L.G. down!

Haha. I know poor Lindsay probably cried when his BFF stabbed him in the back like that…

I know Rand Paul and I think he may find a way to get there for the good of the Party!

Yeah…. let’s hope. But I’m not holding my breath.

According to this:

President Donald Trump continued his blistering attacks against Senator John McCain over social media on Saturday, a day after the Arizona lawmaker said he would not vote for the repeal of Obamacare.

 

In a series of messages posted to Twitter, Trump slammed McCain for his lack of support in nullifying the Affordable Care Act, accusing the former Republican presidential nominee of going back on his word.

 

‘John McCain never had any intention of voting for this Bill, which his Governor loves. He campaigned on Repeal & Replace. Let Arizona down!’ the President tweeted around 6am ET Saturday morning.

 

‘I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried,’ McCain said in a statement.

 

‘Nor could I support it without knowing how much it will cost, how it will affect insurance premiums, and how many people will be helped or hurt by it.’

Trump called McCain’s opposition to the Cassidy-Graham bill ‘terrible, honestly terrible’ later that evening during a rally for Alabama Sen. Luther Strange.

 

‘It was a totally unexpected thing. Terrible, honestly terrible. Repeal and replace, because John McCain, if you look at his campaign, was all about repeal and replace, repeal and replace. So he decided to do something else, and that’s fine. And I say we still have a chance. We’re going to do it eventually,’ the President said.

 

And it appears Trump was still fuming about McCain’s intransigence Saturday morning.

 

‘Large Block Grants to States is a good thing to do. Better control & management. Great for Arizona. McCain let his best friend L.G. down!’ Trump wrote at 8am, posting two more tweets minutes later urging other Republican hold outs to support the bill.

 

The Republicans have until September 30 to pass a bill repealing Obamacare with a 51 seat simple majority. After the deadline, procedures revert back to a 60 vote filibuster proof majority process that virtually guarantees the law stays intact.

 

McCain sunk Republican hopes of repealing the ACA in July, when he rejected a vote on the Senate floor just days after going through surgery to remove a blood clot over his left eye.

McCain isn’t even a RINO anymore. He’s a full-blown Democrat.
