Could Jones' win make some Reps rethink their support for the tax bill?

[Kablooie]

since the new Trump tax law would create a lot of stress in 2018 and could be a huge hammer for Dems to use against Republicans might some vulnerable Republicans reconsider supporting it?

Nice thought to consider.

1. they will vote on it before he is sworn in

McConnell is already saying that Jones won't be in the senate until the tax scam Bill is voted on.

3. But will Jones' election influence moderate Republicans to vote against the tax bill?

Collins, Flake, McCain, even Murkovsky?

2. No question!! Our side now has to go HARD in opposing the tax bill...

like never before!!

9. Agree...we need to call and organize and fight this monstrosity.

4. You would think that it would. They need to realize average Americans have one vote each,

just like their wealthy donors. And there aren't all that many wealthy donors.

5. The GOP is going to push it through ASAP!

WE WILL STOP THEM AND EMERGE VICTORIOUS! Make sure you get everyone you know to call, call, call !This is far from over and it is up to us to stop it. We stopped the ACA repeal and will stop this too.

6. Doubtful. For those couple of senate republicans who expressed concern because the ACA mandate

was removed, or that the tax package increased the deficient too much, I think those concerns will be met, and they will quickly sneak in cuts elsewhere, where they hope no one will notice, but they are too deep into this to back down.

I think a lot of ordinary people are going to be very disappointed though, when in 2019 they realize that just how badly they are being screwed by this tax bill.

One group specifically will be a good number of middle class folks who itemize deductions. because they have removed the Personal Exemption. It will also adversely impact states that have high SIT and property tax, because in those states this bill is putting limits on property tax deductions, and elimination of the state income tax deductions

7. Gardner in CO - nope

He's out there talking shit about how Jones has to vote with the Republicans.

When you look at who voted for him?

No he doesn't. Fuck you Gardner.

8. I am hopeful. No one likes that bill...so maybe they won't vote for it.
