Don't get too optimistic that this will fail.

They probably wouldn't have put it up for vote unless they thought they had enough vote to pass it.

When you got the White House and the house leadership working together, that is a power force to be against.

If it's close at the end I have no doubt they'll hold the vote open as long as necessary to get the votes they need, or some other funny business.

2 minute warning!
