I don’t see what all the angst is about. The Dims only need a simple majority vote in the Senate now (they do not have to worry about a filibuster), and they do not need the three RINOs or Nelson. The only thing they want is cover (i.e., haing some Republican names on the bill) so when the damn thing collapses they can point to the Three RINOs and scream: “The Repoublicans signed on to it, too!”
I think there may be hope to at least delay the vote with the medical piece of this bill. Dr. Coburn said as much and I think even Democrats would have to think twice if they thought their doctors would be guided by a bunch of bureaucrats.
The trick is to get the word out in time.
