" has run into opposition from both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill."Notice the propensity for the press to always refer to two or three Republicans' support as "bi-partisan".
In this case it is an opportunity to put the Republicans first.
As I recall, there was unanimous Republican support for tax cuts in The House. So a few RINOs in The Senate make it "both".

Yep, same old double standard from the pressies. A Republican bill with a few Demos aboard is 'sharply partisan' whereas an Anti-Republican bill with a few RINO's aboard is sumptuously 'bipartisan'.

Carl Cameron said the same identical thing today on FNC.I went ballistic and my wife thought I was in distress. She tries to keep me calm after my Heart Transplant. I kept screaming two 2 Republicans.
