They'll spend the time between now and the vote beating the drums and twisting the arms.

I believe that a resolution will pass.

Despite rhetoric from the fringes of both caucuses, the vote will not be close.

(114,904 posts)7. I have no idea. I know how my rep will vote
he's already said he's against it. I suppose something could change, but I don't see Welch, Leahy or Saunders voting for this.
I'll be disgusted if they do.

I think most Republicans will vote for and most Democrats will vote against. It will be close.
Feinstein will vote for. Boxer will vote against. Pelosi will probably vote for.

The Repubs will vote against his policy just to be antagonistic. The Democrats, I don't know. It could be split.
