House GOPers Say Susan Collins Dead On Arrival

OOPPS sorry. My mistake..
here it is:
House GOPers Say Susan Collins’ Health Care Demands Are Dead On Arrival

Kind of a dupe post, but written differently with a slightly different angle-- That being that COLLINS got skunked.

Keep up the good work Susie...

Just a few hours before the Senate prepares to vote on a massive overhaul of the American tax system, a host of House Republicans told reporters that the promises made to secure the vote of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) have no chance of passing the lower chamber and becoming law.

“Our guys do not want to be in the position of upholding a system that we all oppose and that we tried to repeal and did repeal in this chamber. That’s a real problem,” Cole said, before taking aim at Collins. “We’re not going to let ourselves be blackmailed by one senator for one vote in the United States Senate. I don’t think so.”

Brings the bill to the floor it will pass because Democrats will vote for it and enough Republicans will break ranks to pass the bill.some of them will not want to be blamed for higher premiums.
