He’s not seeking re-election. Republicans only stop lying when they’re no longer trying to win.
Republican Senator Ron Johnson says he is voting against Trump's Tax Plan and openly admits the main benefactors are big companies and CEOs. This took guts.https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/16/sen-ron-johnson-says-he-wants-to-fix-the-gop-tax-reform-bill-so-he-can-change-his-no-vote-to-a-yes.html …

You’ve answered my question. No guts required if not seeking re-election.

Speaking out the truth only when you're retired or retiring, with all the benefits, means little to nothing. You're part of the problem!

Jeez. Give the guy some fricking credit. Well done Sen. Johnson.

One point for awaking up his conscience from its long nap. 100 points to ea GOP voting ‘no’ & running in next election.

He’s not a guts guy, he’s a grandstander. He did the same thing with ACA repeal and then voted for it anyway.

When the truth is described as taking "guts", we've indeed lost our way.

He only withholds support because the legislation, "According to The Wall Street Journal, Johnson was critical of the Republican plan because it prioritized corporations over 'pass-through' entities that allow owners to pay taxes through individual returns at individual rates."

I am from WI and I am self-employed employed (pass-through). And I'm here to tell you RoJo doesn't know what it means to "have guts". He does the bidding of his wealthy donors. They didn't get something they wanted, so he pulled support.

And cue up the change to a "yes" vote... "But once he made it clear he would vote no if changes weren’t made, he started getting calls from the White House and congressional leaders, he said."https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.jsonline.com/amp/874162001 …

Also relevant context: he’s the owner of an LLC, which stand to lose to big corporations under the current plan.

I think there are those who 1) have a conscience 2) see the tide changing 3) care about how history will view them 4) secretly resent Trump and everything he stands for (These are the 4 people who will vote against it)
