Nope you are not! Now I think the idea is since Trump has approved it that will muscle more Republicans to vote for it than would otherwise but we still are missing text so people don't know what we are voting on yet even.
If the senate can hold it up, isn't the total lack of Democrat support the main issue?

The Democrat Conference is currently going into a meeting to discuss this new version. They still get $110 billion they wanted in disaster and farming aid. Here is the bill its "only" 116 pages lol

What would be the incentive for Democrats to defect? It's not like any of them are facing reelection imminently. I doubt they'd want to cross party leadership now.

Optics! Fom what I've read what was pulled… was stuff Dems wanted that publically looked bad. For instance they kept all the aid Dems wanted and pulled out the Congressional Payraise well if they all toe the line they are going to get publically killed with that. Not to mention if a couple of Senate Dems come out in support then well the House Dems sunk it.
