They certainly blew it on Obamacare repeal/reform. Pure backstabbing and infighting killed it. For instance John McCain killed two Obamacare reform bills this summer. On the last one he killed, he gave as a reason that the bill had not gone thru some arcane Senate procedures before coming to a vote. He had no objections to the contents of the bill (at least not spoken ones) he just didn't like the process. That's childish. McCain doesn't like Trump (Trump has given him plenty of reason to dislike him) and so he torpedoed a bill essential to the survival of the GOP, just to irritate Trump.
If you claim to be a member of the Republican party, you ought to support your party, even if the party is going places you don't want to go. If you just cannot take where your party goes, the honorable thing to do is to resign from the party, not to stab it in the back. McCain isn't the only offender here. That "House Freedom Caucus" of some 30 weirdos is just itching for a chance to show their stuff by killing an important bill.
