Lol. So true.
I just read the latest news: the House vote is this afternoon, and leadership is confident they have enough votes to pass the bill there.
I tried calling my Congressman’s office this morning, and it immediately went to voicemail and it said that the voicemail box was full. So he is basically blowing us off. Again. My emails have not been returned, and the same goes with other people in my district.
On the Hugh Hewitt radio show this morning, Senator Pat Toomey from Pennsylvania was on. He sounded exasperated and upset about Senator Johnson saying he will vote against the bill in its current form. But both men believe with Senator Johnson is just posturing and will eventually vote for the bill, or at least they hope so.
Toomey basically said last week that he didn’t care if the bill hurt individuals in certain situations or from certain states, all he really cared about was the corporate rate cuts.
But there was real fear in both of their voices. I think they know something that they are not telling the rest of us. They probably know the names of other senators who are going to vote No on the bill, or are leaning strongly against it.
Or maybe they understand the reaction of voters in 2018 and 2020?
