Trump Gives Republicans Pep Talk Before House Vote on Tax Plan
Bloomberg News, Nov 16, 2017, Billy House and Laura Litvan

President Donald Trump delivered a pep talk to House Republicans as they were poised to pass a tax overhaul bill Thursday afternoon and urged them to next target government welfare programs.

Trump told group in a Thursday visit to the Capitol that “We’ve got to get this done” and then turn to cutting spending on welfare programs, Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz quoted the president as saying.

Representative Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican, said Trump didn’t share any preferences on the policy differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill.

“I expect he’ll be out on the road to sell it,” Cole said, adding that it’s up to Senate and House to give him something to sell.

Anyone remember the last time a Republican caucus needed a pep talk to pass tax reform? 

Who ARE these people and what have they done with the Republican party?

   These same Morons just voted for the obummercare 'rename and resuscitate bill', their counterparts in the Senate saved us from another disaster through their sheer incompetence. I do hope they can get this one through, the President needs a WIN for his first year and this would qualify, especially if they do away with the individual mandate, I'm not optimistic.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
