11. GOP should be wary

Even if it passes, it will be a Pyrrhic victory for the GOP.

Sometimes, what you wish to happen, could be the worst thing to happen.

I hear that Trump wants this to pass, so that he can go on a 'victory' tour.

Of course, he will lie more and more.

Don't ever mention those words 'Pyrrhic victory' to MAGA, they do not know what it means.
