"SNIP.......

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Friday that if Republicans don't pass tax reform, then Democrats will take back the House of Representatives and attempt to impeach President Donald Trump.

"Well, I think all of us realize that if we fail on taxes, that's the end of the Republican Party's governing majority in 2018," Graham said on Fox News Radio's "The Brian Kilmeade Show." "We'll lose the House, probably lose ground in the Senate and President Trump has got a profile different from the party -- there's kinda two or three different Republican Parties now, I guess. But we're all in it together."

"I can't imagine how he could be successful with Nancy Pelosi running the House," Graham continued. "They'd try to impeach him pretty quick and it would be just one constant investigation after another. So it's important that we pass tax reform in a meaningful way. If we don't, that's probably the end of the Republican Party as we know it."

On Thursday, the House passed a budget resolution that clears the path for Congress to tackle tax reform legislation. House Republicans are expected to unveil their tax reform legislation on November 1, with plans for the bill to move rapidly through both chambers in the following weeks.

1. He left out the step where the kochs and Mercers and others refuse to fund Republicans in 2018

or will run alternate Republican candidates if current republicans don't pass tax cuts for the rich.

For the rich

3. If they pass their tax plan, every GOPer's should be impeached!

4. FU Lindsey

...after that slimebucket Chaffetz promised never-ending investigations should Hillary have won the WH.

Of course, Trump's corrupt cabal has truly earned every investigation that could be brought.

The GOP is in a never-ending state of projection.

5. LOve this logic, unless we institute tax reform which will DEVASTATE our voters

6. STFU

7. Oh sweet Lindsey, that's happening whether you pass your tax cuts for the rich or not!

Taking back the House, that is. This feels like an upcoming wave election.

And if we get huge numbers in the House, Pelosi should not be considered for Speaker unless she changes her mind and is willing to impeach Trump. (I like Adam Schiff.)

8. Lindsey, you betcha your ass we will. N/T

[Wounded Bear]

12. Oh I do deeeclair.....

It does seem a few rounds of golf is all it takes for ole Lindsey to forget all about how Mr Trump gave out his personal cellphone and mocked him...now it’s all about the all important tax cuts and scary Mrs Pelosi!

Keep on washing those balls and licking those boots Lindsey...your pathetic droning is extremely amusing!

[CurtEastPoint]

13. Christ. I do declare she's got the vapors again. STFU, Graham.

14. The proposed tax cuts are cuts for thr rich and will lose the Pukes more votes.

Once people see who benefits (rich people) and who loses (the middle class, especially the middle class in high tax states) and the ballooning of the deficit, Republicans are going to hear plenty and it won't be nice.

[Zambero]

15. Did he really say that?

So this secretive tax "reform" scheme is a really a last ditch effort for keeping Trump in office, $2 trillion deficit increase notwithstanding?
