more the opposition will grow. while, yes, there are some conservatives who are making noises, there are moderates making noises, he's going to try to thread this needle to a point and use a political argument rather thn a policy argument to win these folks over. saying do you want to make the base mad when we do nothing? you may not like this bill, you may this bill is going to be a political problem tr you down the road and you may be right, but you'll have a bigger problem with the base if it you do nothing or if you are blamed for skcuttling the ability to repea and replace or partially repeal and replace bobamacare. while the substance i think is very troublesome politically for the republicans say when this gets implemented in the next two to three years assuming it passes, i can see mitch mcconnell making the case that says, hey, worry about that when it comes. this is about survival right now. if you want to do tax reform,
