So IF the Senate bill passes, there will likely be no reconciliation bill and that loathsome bill will become law upon the Presidents signature ?

The house will probably pass one, but nothing will ever come of it. The real vote is for the senate bill.

Losing the Deem and Pass strategy stops the leadership from duping their caucus into voting for the reconciliation bill and the senate bill at the same time. They now have to go on record voting for the senate bill. That sounds like a deal breaker to me. If they had the votes to pass the senate bill, they would have done it in January.

In a nutshell . . . yes, and the Demon plan comes together.
