Good analyses. I am emailing all true conservatives in the House and Senate that RATIFICATION is a real threat.
If McConnell puts the separate bill out there for a vote and passes the “clean” bill, conservatives in the House will not be able to stop the “clean” bill from passing with all the democrats plus the GOPe. I think the only other chance would be another filibuster from Cruz or Sessions to keep the “clean” bill off the Senate calendar. The trouble is that republicans will cave. They are most reliably unreliable.
