Taylor opposed the House healthcare bill in November and is a firm no on Sunday. He suggested it would be a mistake for Democratic no votes to linger on the House floor.
The tactics of House leaders during what is billed as a 15-minute vote are important. It is likely that some firm no votes on the Democratic side will vote right away while others, at the request of House leaders, will wait to register their no until the tally reaches the magic number of 216. Once it does, politically vulnerable Democrats will likely cast their no votes.
But if getting to 216 is a problem, Democratic leaders may lean on these members to change their minds.
