There was a procedural vote like this to repeal the ACA, dingbat. Surely you remember.

That’s what makes this current tweet important. Should the senate majority fail today, that future Trump tantrum tweetstorm will be wonderful…

Thoughts? Manchin and Murkowski didn’t vote with their party. Daines may not vote unless they hold the vote overnight if they need him. Could be Pence deciding?

Though he might not be needed, he’s probably on his way to the capitol (just in case).
