This is not going to sway senate republicans. Darlene, a lot of the opposition in the bill isnt something that the sweeteners will necessarily be able to fix. A lit more money here or there to alaska or maine. The critique is more fundamental from Susan Collins. So how does senator graham and cassidy get over the hurdle . Thats a good question.
