We know GOP Senators are receiving many calls from constituents outraged over their health care plan [View all]

But do you think they've received even a single call of any actual constituents who are in favor of it?

I highly doubt it, I'm sure the only people they speak with who are in favor of it are the special interests who authored it and the people those special interests service.

I think they're all playing a game of chicken. The Senators in the deep Red states will pretend to be for it as long as they are certain there are not enough votes to pass it. If they break that threshold, the bill will get pulled, not because it's an evil piece of legislation, but because the GOP will not be able to survive its passage.
