Or the House can just pass the Senate bill as drafted and send it to the President for his signature.

I doubt there would be the votes. The House had a hard enough time passing the version that the Senate is re-writing.

Meanwhile the MSM keeps focusing on Russian collusion...

I doubt the Republicans want them focusing on Trumpcare, though if McConnell does force a vote within the next two weeks that could change rapidly.

I guess that depends on how much “re-writing” they’re actually doing. It certainly doesn’t sound like they started from scratch like they claimed they were going to do at the outset, but I could be wrong. I don’t have any sources for my thoughts other than what I’ve read in the press.

Here’s what I’d really like to see because liberal heads would be exploding all over the place:

Day 1 (preferably a Monday): Senate approves a bill very close to the House version.
Afternoon of Day 1: House approves the Senate version.
Evening of Day 1: Trump signs the bill.

Day 2: Trump announces firing of Mueller.

Rest of Week: MSM goes stark-raving nuts trying to figure out which talking points to use, while GOP quietly advances tax reform bill.
