A key Senate GOP leader said Friday that Republicans had secured enough votes to pass a massive tax package, expressing optimism after a night of high-stakes negotiations.
Coming out of a meeting of Senate leaders, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) said, “We have at least 50, and we’re still working.”
The comments from Cornyn, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate, came just hours after Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said he planned to back the bill. He was one of the final holdouts, though the GOP needed a little more help to ensure they had the 50 votes they needed. Cornyn did not say who else had committed to support the package.
Johnson’s support followed a late night of negotiations, following a standoff on the Senate floor Thursday when Johnson and two other members aired concerns about the bill.

I hope every incumbent Republican in the Senate gets voted out next time!
May they all burn in hell for this.
is wrong with her???? 
in Arizona and across the country, if they want Alpo dog food or Friskie cat food to be their main food supply
And to top it all off 13 million people will automatically be place in a death panel for insurance, not including the wipe out in deductions-------------what specious assholes.
48 % of the population do not like this scam------------------but 1% and upwards of 10% just got a fucking Christmas present-----------come net year there will be congressional republican fascist trickle down lay-offs
In fact I think every senior citizen and citizen in this country making less than $75,000 should send a can of dog food and cat food to every fucking republican, starting with the twit from Wisconsin

question out there, if god forbid, this horrible thing passes, do you think the repigs will ever have impeachment hearings this is what they wanted for this bastard to sign their fucking tax cut (after President Obama save us from collapse due to Bush) and screw Americans.
If Moore gets in the Senate that will it for them. Child molesters and screwing the American people all for their donors and the Koch brothers. 
I also see if this thing goes through there will be a lot of people in distress, I hope we give the repigs all hell to pay if this goes through. We may even see more middle americans running for office.
I just see those SOB's grinning from ear to ear, Ryan and McConnell they are despicable. Again I hope they choke on it.
thank you for explaining. I hate what they are doing to us and our country because they can't govern for shit.
After Dems clean up everything they rip it to shreds. The repigs have this thing in the heads that the American people are lazy and stupid, ( but the majority of us aren't) The repigs have this thing that they are entitled and we are not. They wouldn't know how to survive if they had to struggle like us. I just have this weird image in my head when the people do not have anything to live for they go after the rich. Is this possible for the poor to go after the rich, or is it only in the movies.
