John McCain is not too popular with conservatives right now.
And rightly so after his vote to kill the so-called “skinny repeal” bill.

The Washington Times writes:
Right. A picture says 1,000 words.
But in this case, one suffices. And Drudge nailed it: Corruption.
McCain, pure and simple, screwed Republicans, conservatives and President Donald Trump on Obamacare repeal. And he did it simply because he could.
He did it because, post-brain cancer diagnosis, he has nothing to lose. His political career is nearing its end, he’s made his money, he’s secured his family’s financial future.
He did it, bluntly, because he hates Trump more than he loves the American people.
And for a supposed war hero, that’s quite a statement to send.
Like The Washington Times, other commentators like Bill O’Reilly have suggested McCain’s vote was more against Trump than against the policy of repealing ObamaCare.
O’Reilly made the comment on “The Glenn Beck Program.”
While O’Reilly thought McCain’s grudge against Trump stems from Trump’s comments about him during the campaign, Beck had another theory.
“I think John McCain — you’re right — hates Donald Trump,” Mr. Beck said. “But I think John McCain hates the tea party and the conservative wing, the small-government constitutionalists […] much more than he hates Donald Trump. He may be on fire for Donald Trump, but there is a long history of him just despising these tea party constitutionalist people.”
What a shame.
As The Washington Times concludes,
But fact is: His legacy now is as a traitor to the conservative cause. Or, as Drudge likes to call it: “Corruption.”
What are your thoughts on McCain’s actions?
Should the Senate continue trying to pass ObamaCare repeal?
