As I've said, I believe FrankDaBank's hand-picked successor will cave. Trumpikins and Co. will wave some delectable treat under her nose (Here it is!) and she will make some noise about 'hoping to influence the direction the bill will take when enacted' etc etc ad nauseam. Even better if the votes AREN'T there, she can vote 'yes' and gain political cover yet still play 'GOP ball', pointing to her 'support' of the 'new' legislation. She wants that RNC/GOP return support real bad.

The analysis shows Alaska will still get hit bad, as will the rest of the USA. If she actually shows some spine and does what is best FOR HER CONSTITUENTS (you know, those puny, poor, 99%'ers that live in the highest-healthcare-cost state in the USA), I swear I will buy a paper copy of the ADN, cut out the article where she voted AGAINST this massive tax-break scheme for the 1%, and I will EAT THAT ARTICLE.

Again, not rushing out to buy any pepper and salt. This is what's called a 'sure thing'.
