Tax Cuts Are Only Thing Holding GOP Together

New York Times: “With divisions roiling the party, the prospect of a once-in-a-generation bill to cut taxes on businesses and individuals increasingly appears to be the last, best hope for a fractured establishment desperate to find common ground and advance an effort it has long championed as the pinnacle of Republican orthodoxy…”

“In the face of those divides, Republican leaders retreated to the only safe ground they have left: a partisan, fast-tracked tax bill, which party leaders hope to introduce next week in the House and deliver to Mr. Trump’s desk by Christmas. The stakes are rising by the day, as Republican donors and voters watch the intraparty dispute unfold and worry about the party advancing the legislative priorities it has long espoused, let alone holding its congressional majorities in the 2018 midterms.”

“Pressure is only increasing on Republican lawmakers, with conservative commentators and other observers saying failure on a tax bill is not an option.”

1. Bullshit. They can get their tax cuts from Pence.

The only thing holding the GOP together is their overwhelming fear of the Trump cultists who will absolutely lose their shit if anything happens to his majesty.

2. Lots of truth in what you said.

Does the GOP care that Trump worships both Hitler and Mussolini (known fact) and that he wants to be a dictator the way Hitler and Mussolini were?

Not at all.

They care that they can steal what little money the poor and middle class have.
