Your instincts are right. With GOP senators, stupidity and weakness are bottomless. The bill MAY be on the brink of collapse. But I wouldn’t bet on it. When Drudge has a “developing” story, it could simply mean that they’ve heard a rumor and are trying to chase it down. They run irresponsible headlines like with the huge caveat — “developing,” which really just means, “possibly” — so they can get credit for “reporting” the news first if it turns out to be true. Sort of like California weathermen who predict a “chance of rain.”

Agreed. I find this to be hopeful news but I’m not letting off the pressure one bit until I know it’s really dead.
