13. I wonder if they are trying to trick their voting base?

Hear me out.
We know that they made a lot of absurd promises to their base over the years in order to win the majority but what happened when it came time to deliver?

Make Obama a one term president? Failed.
ACA repeal? Failed.
Hillary in jail? Failed
Build a wall and make mexico pay for it? Failed
Put into office a president that would make America great again? Failed
They had the power to destroy the ACA but there would have been major voter backlash so they needed some of there people to vote no when it came to repeal but now those same ones support the horrible tax proposal, why?
I think they are having them vote yes so they are not weakened in the upcoming election and I think they are picking ones who voted yes to overturn the ACA to vote no for this tax plan because they know it's horrible but they have to be seen as at least trying.
They will then try to blame the Democrats for their "failures" and use it as a new point to rally their base around.
