Twitter Reacts to McCain’s Rejection of Graham-Cassidy: ‘Waiting for Trump to Tweet…’
Media and political Twitter were thrown into hyperdrive on Friday after John McCain announced that he will not support the Graham-Cassidy health care reform bill.
The senator’s announcement comes even as fellow GOP senators like Susan Collins and Rand Paul have expressed their own concerns with the new proposal for repealing and replacing Obamacare. As it stands, McCain’s statement cripples the bill’s probability of succeeding in the Senate.
McCain’s announcement made a huge splash on Twitter, and the responses are still pouring in.

McCain to voters last year: I'll repeal Obamacare!
McCain now: *…but only if it's a bipartisan "fix" done through regular order.

This is at least as weird as McCain killing a bill by Graham https://t.co/MFkmOcqilv

The last lion of the Senate is protecting America & protecting the Senate from itself. As @SenJohnMcCain says, time for bi-partisanship.

If you had John McCain killing Lindsey Graham’s ObamaCare repeal bill in the pool, collect your winnings

Of course, it didn’t take long for people to remember that President Trump is participating in a rally later tonight, and he might not take this news very well.
Trump's rally tonight ought to be good.
