We may get a vote but it will not pass. The senate will never pass anything if significance. Obamacare fix or repeal - nope; tax reform - nope; fix for DACA - nope; wall funding - nope.

Let's get them all out of there and start again. Hopefully, they will get the message before Trump's second term.

The only things getting done in DC are the things that Trump can get accomplished through executive order.

Murkowski came out in favor of repealing the 0Care mandate.

That's a pretty big endorsement for her.
Her voting Yes is a win.

I'm genuinely curious, Do you actually WANT to not get your taxes lowered?

Thank heavens it won't pass. The premise of mortgage interest, property taxes, state and local taxes, etc. being no longer deductable when declaring on the long tax form is infuriating to middle class taxpayers. If this bill passes, Republicans can count on losing the House and Senate for election cycles as far as the eye can see, and the presidency forever.

Gee whiz, who would've thought you're consenting to higher taxes by living in CA, NY?

Absolutely not. Trump has alienated so many people that you can forget about any bill passage from this, and the mid term congress. Nothing but gridlock for the next three years.

Unless, one of McCain (arizona - GOP ) - likely NO - POTUS even said so

or

COllins (Independent Maine -votes with GOP)

or

Murkowski (alaska GOP) does whatever makes AK happy


one of them say YES, it will fail.


The other 49 will say yes and Pence will break tie..

SO, LIKE THE POTUS SAYS, BASICALLY, MCCAIN/MURKOWSKI/ AND COLLINS RUN THE SENATE.

Opening ANWR for drilling is a big incentive for her.

I think there’s a very good chance they’ll get enough hands on board to get it to
Conference. Obviously it would be a dead duck in a straight vote in its current form. It remains to be seen when a final bill will hammered out and signed into law and exactly what that’ll look like, but the stakes are too high for the GOP to not pass something ahead of the midterms. Which means it’ll probably be a pretty suboptimal law just like everything else that was passed as a “we have to do something/anything” measure.

If legislators are tanking bills just to settle petty scores with the President instead of carrying out the people's business regardless of their personal feelings towards the President, then they have no business being members of Congress and should be removed.

Indeed we do and people like Jeff Flake and Bob Corker are good examples of that.
