 Tax reform: 7 Key players and how they could stop the bill

By Jeremy C.F. Lin | 11/18/17 05:00 AM EDT

On Thursday, House Republicans passed their version of tax reform by a 227-205 vote. Now, the Senate is preparing to take up its own version of a bill, but several Republicans — from fiscal conservatives to moderates — are taking issue with several provisions. The bill needs 50 votes to pass the Senate — let’s take a look at what might get in the way.

No worries ... the Senate always votes in line with the DEMS.  I don't think the bill has a snowball's chance.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I'm very much inclined to agree with you!  There are many "republicans" in the Senate who will be just as happy in the minority as they ever were in the majority.
