Payback's a Bitch

"You can attract more flies with honey than you can with vinegar."

Senator John McCain joined Senator Lisa Murkowski and Senator Susan Collins to kill the "Skinny Repeal," the last hope for any kind of an Obanacare repeal bill to pass the Senate and go back to the House for reconciliation ... see: Bloomberg Story. Was this act of sinking President Trump's attempt to fix the health-care insurance debacle left to him by his predecessor because of McCain's Democrat sympathies ... or his current health crisis ... or was it payback for Trump's once saying that McCain wasn't a hero in his mind "because he was captured."

Yeah, I think I'll go with the last one ...

Afterward: If Murkowski and Collins also acted, at least partially, out of revenge for Trump's "pussy" comments caught on a hot mic during the campaign, then Trump surely sunk this part of his agenda himself ... and three Senators reduced themselves to Trump's base level with their spite. Unfortunate.
