Thanks GonzoII.

On Friday morning, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, called holdout Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., the last two senators who need to get on board. The GOP can pass the legislation even if both senators oppose it over budget deficit concerns.

OMG, that idiot Sanders is on the floor. They are going to let a bunch of dems say exactly what they said on the previous motion to commit the bill back to committee. It will be voted down 52-48 again.. Then probably another motion by a dem to commit the bill to committee...Another bunch of dems get up and repeat the same nonsense (breaks for rich & businesses, nothing for middle class)

People should be watching this, to see how pathetic the process is.
