Now that House leadership has committed itself to bringing the 2,000+ page bill to a vote, every tool and lever at their disposal will be used to get to 218. There is not a small percentage of the Democrat caucus who believes a vote for this bill is very close to political suicide. And their leadership will ask them to make that sacrifice, if for no other reason than they need the ‘win.’ Kind of like the British General Staff at the Somme.

Stay tuned to Big Government throughout the day for updates.
