18. It may not come to a vote in the Senate--not in anything like its present form, anyway

I think a few (number increasing) House members are getting the message in the town halls they are holding in their home districts, and reporting back to the party leadership that, while they will vote for anything the party leadership tells them to, they are facing serious popular opposition to the whole scheme in their home districts. The monolith of solid Republican voter blocs may start to crumble over this issue. Oh, the congresscritters will go down with the ship, if asked, but when there is a chance not to sink the ship at all, shouldn't it be considered?
