Exactly what changed that would jeopardize passage of the tax cuts?
Those were state and local elections, in areas where democrats were expected to win, which they did. Nothing else changed nationally. the U.S. senate and house remain firmly in control of republicans, and so is the presidency, as well as SCOTUS. Democrats “winning” in blue states is not the same as momentum towards changing anything nationally. Heck, even the one race for a U.S. congressman, was won by a republican.
So, why are republicans running scared? Methinks that some of them are looking for excuses to not pass tax cuts.

Whether you are a Republican or Democrat Congressman or Senator, you have one goal, and one goal only: Nullify the 2016 Presidential Election. Nothing else matter except retain the government oligarchy’s control over society. Everything...their massively growing wealth, power and lifetime position for their families...depends upon nullifying the election. Everything the Republicans and Democrats have done thus far has been in pursuit of that one goal. It is only when their own incumbents start falling like flies that anything can change.
