“...rat’s a$$ whether this bill is helpful to me personally or not. ...lousy first step, but it IS a first step...”
This is also the position that I am taking. If this did not pass in some form the momentum for President Trump’s agenda would have fizzled completely and he would have been somewhat successfully branded as a failure by the enemedia which would have taken a serious toll on Trump’s presidency.
Well put; “we need this win in order to fight on”!!! (and I am a resident of New York State).

I am completely at odds with what passes in the US Senate as “Republicans.” And I want to RIF virtually all of them. But it needs to be done so as to not loose the Republican “majority!” The idea that we have to play “political footsey” with the conglomeration of “shit balls” ( i.e. Corker, Flake and McConnell) and self-serving twits ( i.e. Murkowski and Collins) are anathemas to me, but they are the “$hitty cards we’re holding today. We have to root them out one by one and replace them with people who can work together for the good of ALL of the country.
