Do you think the 5 or 6 "hold out" Repub will be swayed in the Senate?

I have the feeling that the Senate will do what the House did when they didn't have enough votes the first time around. They made it even more harsh to appease the Freedom Caucus/Tea Party and it sailed through followed by a beer party. Will Mitch Mean McConnell make it even "meaner"? "Hell, yes!" is my opinion.

And the ones holding out seem to want to make a lot of noise and become popular...saving the day--getting ready for presidential race for 2020! Will they rescind their objections? Or will McConnell even allow any amendments?

Between now and this time next week, everything will be "fixed" and all Republicans can vote for it, except maybe one?
