It’s a rough day for Trump, who lost the opportunity to push Trumpcare through and repeal Obamacare. The Guardian notes that the Senate effort to pass a “skinny” repeal of Obamacare failed dramatically early Friday morning by a 51-49 vote.
As usual, Trump mourned the results, but Americans are mostly happy.

Obama's 2008 rival just helped save his signature achievement. Wow. What a world.

Cassidy on what went down:“Well, it was certainly dramatic. Certainly Senator McCain knows how to improve the drama.”

3 Republicans and 48 Democrats let the American people down. As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal. Watch!

What he said from the beginning was that he would repeal Obamacare, replace it with something terrific, and that it'd be "so easy." https://t.co/D5rVmjOxw4

Spineless Republicans stayed in their group. Republicans capable of independent thought objected. Sticking together isn't the goal.

I'm a Republican who opposed this terrible bill, too, and wrote to my senators. Tax cuts for rich is NOT health care plan for America.

Now would be a great time to unveil your plan. You know, the one you promised in the campaign that would cover everyone w/lower premiums? pic.twitter.com/BXjCPqS0QO

This was YOUR campaign promise. Which means YOU couldn't deliver. YOU couldn't win. YOU have failed. Because you're toxic.
