Will Senator McCain Vote ‘Yes’ On The Republican Tax Bill?

McCain has seemed hell-bent on making sure NOTHING Trump touches gets passed.

Which is why we were holding our breath to see what he would do about the Senate tax bill…

Well, we finally have an answer from him, and it’s looking positive!

According to this:

Sen. John McCain will back the Senate tax bill, increasing the plan’s chances of clearing the Senate by Friday.

The Arizona Republican was one of the last GOP senators who had not committed to supporting the proposal.

“After careful thought and consideration, I have decided to support the Senate tax reform bill,” McCain said in a statement Thursday. “I believe this legislation, though far from perfect, would enhance American competitiveness, boost the economy, and provide long overdue tax relief for middle class families.”

McCain’s stance, as well as an expected “yes” vote from Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, leaves few GOP senators undecided.

But a few others have

Republican leaders are currently tweaking the bill to appease other skeptical senators, including Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., James Lankford, R-Okla., Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Steve Daines, R-Mont.

All Republican senators voted Wednesday to start debate on the bill.

He expressed his approval of getting rid of the individual mandate:

The senator also addressed the tax bill’s repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate, which requires most Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty. Scrapping the measure would lead to about 13 million more people uninsured, with average Obamacare premiums rising 10 percent, according to nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates.

McCain called the individual mandate “an onerous tax that especially harms those from low-income brackets.”

So…. will all the Democrats that have been upholding McCain as their traitorous angel turn on him again?

Yup, probably.
