Here is my thoughts on how this all went down? [View all]

The bill was going to pass no matter what GOBer who say they wanted to voted against it.
The likes of Tillis ranting about how bad he feels for constituents, Murkowski making deals behind closed doors so her state would get relief?

But Don Beacon of Nebraska? He slid under the radar? He announced his retirement before he voted yes on the bill, never batting an eye on what he was going to do.

My thoughts are, he knew he was going to be ousted either by the voters in Nebraska or face a Trump challenger thus he didn’t want to labeled as a loser. Yes, in the last few months, he was a critic against Trump and his words weren’t enough to make any difference.

These a few indications of Trump being a bully in his own unique way.

I’m sure there are many other instances of the blatant disregard by those who gave in just to save their lame asses!

Folks, that why they call it a dictatorship in waiting!
