McConnell works to salvage tax bill

By Alexander Bolton - 11/30/17 10:38 PM EST 

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has his work cut out for him to save the Senate tax bill, which stalled Thursday evening after three GOP rebels threatened to effectively kill it.

After weeks of careful negotiations, Senate Republicans are locked in a huge behind-the-scenes fight over what the tax bill should look.

To pass the bill, McConnell and his leadership team will have to craft substantial revisions and they have only 24 hours to do it, give or take, or otherwise postpone the effort altogether until next week.

To appease Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), McConnell would have to reduce the total size of the $1.4 trillion tax package by $350 billion to $450 billion.
But that approach isn’t sitting well with many Republican senators.

WTF is it to these Leftist creeps? They are just born to be spoilers. If their states were worth a shit they would expel them from office and send in new guys.

I just haven't been able to make myself give a crap about this stupid "overhaul" they're gifting us.
