even before they get into the details it has to pass the Byrd test (to reduce the deficit) or else they can't take it thru Reconciliation -- nm - decline May 4, 11:47
But they can change it and send it to reconciliation -- nm - ty97 May 4, 11:40 4
- The question is how they can reconcile it. They're dancing on razor blade right now. If it moves at all further left they'll lose the freedom caucus -- nm - pmb May 4, 11:41 3
  - I'd hope so, but I doubt it. I think FC fought to get their best starting position knowing they'd never get this version through the Senate -- nm - ty97 May 4, 11:42 2
    - I don't know. I see the FC generally unwilling to bend. We know they didn't the first time. -- nm - pmb May 4, 11:46 1
      - I'd be fine with them killing it, but I think they know they could only set the starting line, not the finish line - ty97 May 4, 11:49
