3. Once again, I'm confused.

Why are the Repugnants going to pass a massively unpopular bill which will only become more unpopular when people learn what is in it. This tax bill could cost the Repugnants the House in 2018 - even before you consider the increasing level of Trump's unpopularity.

These guys have no moral core but they can't be this stupid.

4. This is so important that they are willing to lose their seats in 2018.

Money is everything. They will leave for rich jobs with lobbying firms, or work for the corporations they just gave big tax cuts to.

A few will make it through the mid-terms. But the rest are willing to sacrifice their political careers for the money. Ryan has said he may leave in 2018. Corker is leaving.
