Corker is the only NO vote I believe. I hope I am wrong.

Still not hopeful. Expect it to pass. But I feel if there's one GOP senator to pick off, it's her.

Yesterday it was they would pass legislation to stabilize the insurance market first and today it is she has turtles word there will be no cuts to medicare. So what! Turtles word ain't worth tissue paper. I guess she doesn't want to be re-elected and forget about governorship. Trump lost Maine and they just voted overwhelmingly to expand medicaid. I don't think the 'I was tricked' excuse is going to work for her.

How do they know Congress will waive those cuts? If it ain’t in a bill it’s capable of GOP fuckery. I am sure Mitch wouldn’t file a bull crap letter to save Collins behind. After all Mitch is an “honorable man, these are all honorable men”-apologies to the Bard of Avon.
