Why so many problems from a party that spent 7 years telling us about all of the great things they were going to do?

[CptnObvious]

with zero Democrats supporting the effort.

They don't like America and WANT SOCIALISM WITH BERNIE.

I listened to the NPR report on this bill this morning. In their standard “see how fair and balanced we are” tone, they provided a complete hit piece against the bill. It was comical.

Corker and Flake need to be kneecapped tonight on their way home. These 2 cats are the ultimate political tools on the take.

[robroys woman]

I think it is because they are between a rock and a hard place. Imagine a family with out of control credit card debt and no prospects for increased income, and the dad needs to come up with a new family budget that doesn’t impact the cable TV and all the other perks the family enjoys, but improves their financial condition.

The only “fix” is to perform some sort of austerity. But nobody wants that, so the whole thing is a shell game.

But as long as the bill eliminates the obamacare mandate, I’m good. Regarding the FedGov, that is all I’ve cared about since 1/1/2014. It’s all I cared about in the 2016 election.

Money flowing back to the “unwashed masses” from the UniParty coffers?????
I’ll believe when I see it.

John McCain is a committed "yes."

John McCain is a committed "yes" when John McCain votes "yes" and not before.

[LIConFem]

There’s still time for the ePubs to f$ck it up, even at this late hour. In fact, given all the B.S. over news of Flynn’s cooperation with the special prosecutor, I’d bet anything that Corker, Flake, Collins and possibly even McCain will feel emboldened to vote NAY.

!!! @JeffFlake is a yes on tax bill, secured deal to work on “growth-oriented legislative solution to enact fair and permanent protections for DACA recipients” as part of it (!)

Face-saving BS. Will be some kind of "DACA fix" eventually though, Trump is for it in exchange for enforcement.

[Bonemaker]

Tax Farce Bill.

[House Atreides]

The sooner that NPR and public television are COMPLETELY cut off from ANY government funding, the better.

[CedarDave]

Fox Business reporting Flake is a “yes” on the tax bill. That leaves Corker and Collins as possible “no” votes. Collins is out to lunch on this - her demands would make the bill essentially irrelevent. Corker may vote no, but a tie will be broken by VP Pence. When it passes, it is important that the House-Senate conference be held before the Alabama special election as if Moore loses, that one vote could be crucial.

"SenJohnKennedy leaving tax meeting: “This is Washington DC. Politics is in everybody’s blood. Kind of like herpes.”"

Good one!

Word!

*** DemocRATS = America-hating obstruction, malfeasance, lying Marxism ***

[Reno89519]

But they don’t know what is in it and 99.9% of Americans don’t either. Gives media and Dems lots of room, maybe even justified, to vilify it. Why not some sunshine?

[Bob Celeste]

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin I voted against the motion to proceed on the Republican #taxreform plan because I haven’t seen a final bill. I’m still trying to work w/ my R colleagues & @realdonaldtrump to find a bipartisan way forward. 11:35 PM - Nov 29, 2017

Hey Joe, want to stay in that plush senate job?

Start supporting President Trump 100% because if he comes to WVa to campaign against you, you are toast.

[The Numbers]

‘John McCain is a committed yes’ are not words I associate with good legislation.

[fortheDeclaration]

Gee, where are the 'moderate' Democrats?

They vote like the communist party.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Why is the Senate holding this vote after the stock markets close?
