Rubio NO on tax bill. McCain and another Repub sick. Collins' position unknown.

[MoonRiver]

PTB, please let this one sink!

[onethatcares]

1. I'll believe it when I hear it.

maybe those calls did work. YAY us!!!!!

[MoonRiver]

2. Maybe Rubio's taking his final revenge on 32% approval Chump!

[eleny]

11. Little Marco's revenge?

[kentuck]

3. Corker was against it when it came out of the Senate.

Because of the huge deficit it would create.

[MoonRiver]

4. Where's he at now?

[NightWatcher]

5. Sen Lee who partnered with Rubio on child credit issue is also an undecided

Per twitter sources.

Send them back to regular order and the drawing boards. Time to start over again.

6. CALL NOW! DO NOT STOP! It isn't over yet!

The grass roots movement and Resistance have kept the ACA from being repealed and Moore from getting elected. WE CAN AND WILL DO IT!!!!!
Don't wait until the mid terms. CALL the GOP NOW! KILL THE BILL!
We can stop the Tax Scam too. IT IS NOT OVER! Add Rubio and Lee (Utah) to your list. Keep pressuring them daily. Call(202)224-
McCain (AZ) 2235
Flake (AZ) 4521
Collins (ME) 2523

Call, tell your friends and family, use social media and hammer the GOP every DAY! If you get a voice mail leave a message. The staffers DO tally them up and keep track. It literally takes 2 minutes to call one GOP rep (call both houses too). RESIST !

14. Thank you**just left a message for Rubio and posted this list on Facebook for my Florida friends

[BigmanPigman]

16. Fantastic...I do not have social media

and the people with Indivisible said that getting the word out through social media is crucial during a nation wide phone call about two weeks ago.

[Bleacher Creature]

7. There is ZERO chance Rubio doesn't cave.

That guy doesn't believe in anything. He'll get a little attention thrown his way and cave.

[OnDoutside]

8. I agree, he'll be rich at the end of this.

[gratuitous]

9. Question about rules and procedure

Does the Senate still need to get to 50 + Pence to pass legislation if all 100 Senators aren't there to vote? If only 98 Senators vote, does it take 49 + Pence? Just being nosy.

[MoonRiver]

10. I don't think the numbers change is people are absent.

[mercuryblues]

12. Pence only votes in a tie

So if it is 49 dems no and 48 reps yes, pence can not vote.

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. All absent Congress members are marked as "Not present"

rules are for majority votes, and obviously the more republicans that aren't there, the better it is for Dems.

Yertle is very good at counting votes, and has the power to post-pone the vote.

[gratuitous]

21. Well, a few sick Republicans might have a salutary effect

It's already December 14, and these yahoos like nothing better than their time off. If the legislation gets stalled for just a few days, everyone's going to want to skedaddle out of town for another well-deserved vacation.

[NastyRiffraff]

13. I hope nobody's depending on Collins

She'll do what the last person told her to do.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. I called again tonight. Here's hoping I am the last person

she heard from!

[NastyRiffraff]

22. If you were

you'll be a national hero!

[flotsam]

17. If the bill is shot down

the DNC should secretly hire an unknown actor to play a sanctimonious over-pious minister and get him some air time to proclaim how God had struck down just enough Republicans to frustrate a plot by Satan to destroy the middle class. Then hide the guy until the next time they failed. Call it revenge but it would be funny as hell and drive Trump and his buddies crazy...

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. Who is the other Republican who is out sick??? n/t

[Takket]

20. they are fishing for concessions. it is a bluff IMO they will vote yes eventually
