Don't expect Rs to pitch a budget w/ major entitlement reform or cuts w/out Democratic buy-in. Which means don't expect it.
@sahilkapur …On other hand I'm not sure Senate GOP'ers w/ a bunch of potential tough races want to go out on a limb if it's not bipartisan

@DavidMDrucker especially since Senate Rs up in ‘16 are already on the record in favor of it. -
@sahilkapur Your counters are good points…I could imagine scenario where they claim 'in favor' but blame POTUS oppo 4 leaving out. -
@DavidMDrucker doubt it even gets to conf. They could just do it in the budget res and drop it in approps. Outside the 10-yr window anyway. -
@sahilkapur Sounds likely. -
@DavidMDrucker then again, they may need to do budget res conference in order to do reconciliation. So it’s plausible. Lotsa considerations. -
@sahilkapur Yep. And they will go to conference cuz only way to do reconciliation for whatever. Many scenarios...

@DavidMDrucker sure- just seems that ditching premium support at this stage would be a significant backtracking for the party. -
@sahilkapur My thought process is that anything the House has passed before it could pass again, but doesn't mean survives conference cmte
