No, I think this is a good release. It’s gotta get thru the Senate so there are features in this that can be horsetraded to pass.

We don’t have an Obama-2009 magnitude majority. Merely a majority so you lose a Senator here and there, you won’t pass it. There is enough stuff in this bill to horsetrade away and get it passed.

“No, I think this is a good release.”

Anything at this point is a good start. What I would really like to see is some specific criticisms by other Freepers instead of a general “this sucks” before they even read it.

No, it's not the sort of thing they release without a dog and pony show first unless they're trying to alter the focus of the news shows at the moment.

Watch, the media will all rush over to beating up on this bill and try to ignore the fact that they all have already said there were wiretaps of the Trump campaign and are now floundering around trying to deny their own reporting.

No one is going to have anything to say about whatever proof of taps Trump puts forward because they'll all say it's time to "move on" and work on saving Obamacare.

This coming out now is like throwing a lot of life preservers to people busy drowning in their own puke, Barry among them. Any Republican not interested in saving the Uniparty would have waited at least until next week.

Horsetrading started several weeks ago. That's what staffs do, they work in advance of something going from the House and the Senate to make sure only those things someone wants face time being for or against are left to argue over and horse-trade.

80 to 90% of the horsetrading is done before the final bill is ever printed.
