If they don’t pass this, then forget it. The dems and the media know this. So, it may come down to a couple Senators blocking the bill. Corker, McCain, Flake.

Those are for starters, they don't like him. Ron Johnson, in high tax WI. Roy Blunt, MO. Grassley and Ernst, IA. Portman, Ohio. Just looking at midwest states Trump will also need in 2020. But also Georgia (2R) , Kansas (2R), Nebraska (2R) and a few others. Only looking at states near or above the 5% state tax level.

I look at this, and what I view as unfair rate disparities brought about the lowering the rate for pass throughs vs wage earners, and the loss, or non loss of step up basis due to the estate tax exemption I alluded to earlier, I see a poorly thought out bill. I see little economic stimulus here, and virtually no tax simplification.

Meant to note, of the Senators I noted, they can’t lose a single one. And I think all could object based on their constituents interests. And he has to pick up one of the three you mentioned.
