    That means currently just 50 Republican senators voting for it. I would love to see one go rogue and kill it because he/she actually does care about the national debt. I just don't think any of them actually do.

    Anyway, it is looking like McCain's cancer is getting close to the end. He did the country a great service by killing the ACA repeal and I was hoping he might do the same again with the tax bill.

    I was hoping Corker would stay strong but two days ago he stabbed the country in the back by turning Judas.

    It all comes down to Collins and Flake. If those two stand up on principle then this abomination which raises taxes on the middle class to give to billionaires can be defeated. If not then the deficit will explode and then the next step is to slash social security and medicare in the name of saving money.

    Man... my best wishes go out to John McCain. :sad:

    It’s amazing how senators who were elected on the Tea Party platform in2010 forgot about their overwhelming concern about the National Debt.... Looking at you, Marco Rubio.
