Senate Republicans are confident they have the votes to pass tax bill

"Senate Republicans were confident that they had the votes needed Friday to pass their tax plan as last-minute changes brought more GOP lawmakers on board.

Sens. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., earlier Friday said they would back the bill after securing further tax relief for pass-through businesses. Then, Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., committed to supporting the plan, leaving Republican leaders confident that they had the support.

On Friday morning, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, called holdout Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., the last two senators who need to get on board. The GOP can pass the legislation even if both senators oppose it over budget deficit concerns. "

Let the Republicrat games begin....

Actually, let the BRIBERY begin........Nothing like abandoning one's principles for a few silver pieces....Both Corker and Flake are retiring, so we'll see if they can stick to their core beliefs, or cower to the GOP pressure.

Corker and Flake have already given in, it's just a matter of tweaks to satisfy the Senate Parliamentarian to make it official for those two.

Last holdout appears to be Collins and they don't need her.

So like I said let the GAMES begin, the Bribery round is pretty much over and won't start up again until the CC begins.

And McCain voted for both of the last two recessions so not surprised that he's in favor of this one. After all, he's not more money than god and will be dead anyway.
 
The dumbass Trumpanzees here at USMB want a tax bill scam that will raise their taxes.

They would rather pay more taxes and try to blame Democrats for it than stop this bill, pay less taxes, and go against their Messiah, Agent Orange.

actually, in "fairness" ....they are NOT smart enough to realize WHY middle class tax cuts are SCHEDULED to go up after the midterms, while the wealthy's tax cuts are PERMANENT...
 
It will pass because if the gop doesn't, the donors will be mad. Of course if the gop in now the party of corp giveways and deficits, the party should be closed.

Why would he be upset if it did. That means Republicans lose power.

Personally I'd like to keep more of my money. I don't see how keeping our own money hurts us.

BS

You vote Republican so its simply not true that you want to keep more of your own money.

OR -

You're as dumb as my driveway.
 
This ain't over. Now it goes back to the House, then again to the Senate.

There's still time to defeat this. Call your Congresscritters, even if you think it's a waste of time. They are afraid of sheer numbers.
