McConnell would somehow spin this into a way of adding another Supreme Court member

plays into the narrative. Out in the hall making liberal tear, can't even take the time to do their jobs. This is a rerun of a failed display during the nominations. Be there, be loud, be intentional otherwise you are just giving up.

Hey another Trump Campaign Rally in Youngstown Ohio tonight.

Portman on the spit if he did not fall in line?

Keep in mind this is just a show vote for optics. The actual repeal & replace vote will fail later this week.

I hope the Dems vote in toto, it will be a showing of solidarity.

Speaking of the recess is that when trump will appoint Chris Christie as AG?

Drama ensuing between McConnell and a Johnson, "neither looking happy"

Is there going to be a rose garden press conference to celebrate this?

McConnell and Johnson probably just arguing on who gets to cut the 'victory' cake
