Victory for Senate Republicans as John McCain announces he will BACK the budget resolution to help tax cuts
Daily Mail/UK, Oct 18, 2017

Senator John McCain (R- Arizona) announced on Tuesday he will back the Senate's budget resolution this week to help with tax cuts.

While it's still unclear if the bill has enough votes to pass, the backing is crucial as the Republican-controlled Senate needs the proposal to pass to keep alive its hopes of enacting sharp reductions in tax rates later this year.

Republicans earned another victory in the return of Senator Thad Cochran (R -Mississippi) who went back to Capitol Hill after being out sick for weeks with urological problems.

If passed in both the House and the Senate, the budget resolution would allow Republicans to pass a tax reform package without needing 60 votes in the Senate, as they only have 52.

We'll see if he does indeed vote along with party. That leaves the 4 other big RINO's; Collins, Murkowski, Flake and Corker.  Anyone heard how they intend to vote?

I think we need two of the four to bring us to 50 .. with Pence as the tie-breaker.

I also think we can count out Flake and Corker.

He'll vote with the dems.

I need some help with this.  This is talking about passing a budget that then supposedly allows vote on the separate tax reform bill?
