House Republicans warn Senate GOP against watering down Trump's Big Booty full bill

House Republicans are sending a clear and early warning to their Senate allies as the bill encompassing President Trump’s domestic priorities heads to the upper chamber: Don’t water it down.

House GOP leaders spent weeks in delicate talks with Republican holdouts before cobbling together a fragile agreement that could thread the needle between conservatives’ demands for more spending cuts and moderates’ insistence on a controversial tax break.

As the massive package heads to the Senate, the critical voices of the House debate — blue-state Republicans, hardliners and party leaders — are cautioning their upper-chamber counterparts not to alter their design too severely, or it will never get through the House on its return.

The warnings forecast a coming clash between Republicans in the two chambers, since many senators are already saying they can’t support the package without substantial changes.

They're brain damaged from sniffing Trump farts.

You can't threaten to primary Senators like you do Representatives. I believe maybe one-third of the Senate would be up for re-election and not all of them are republican. Plus, it would take 50.1% of half the electorate to win a primary in the particular state. (That's 25.1% of registered republicans.)

Nope. Senators are sitting pretty. Some may be waiting for the bribes, the offers, etc. to vote for this heinous bill. Some may actually care about the Deficit. Some may care about the widespread crisis of taking away healthcare from the poor, the elderly, the vulnerable.
