but they still have their MAGat constituents to appeal to who don't want ANY concessions to "the libs".

So it could take time - particularly if they have to go through their "regular process" versus the "fast-track", with plenty of podium pounding and foot stomping before they cave.

And that is especially if Democrats can keep the 70 (D)s needed to agree to a "fast-track", from crossing over to support "fast track", which would also require (R)s to get all 220 of their members to vote for it too (they have a couple-vote wiggle room normally).
