The original bill was fucking awful. It gave like $500m to the candy industry as grants and explicitly banned aid to anyone who took Medicaid. THAT was the bill Trump endorsed and railed against the Democrats. The one that got approved has none of Mitch McConnell's language in it. This is a near-total capitulation by the Republicans.
