I remember some saying that because they held rallies in blue dots in red states that the Republicans were "on their back foot" and hearing so much from their constituents that didn't want them to cut Medicaid that they were going to vote against the bill -- yeah, that didn't happen.

The Senate will pass Trump's bill, one way or the other.
