What is your boy, Cruz, smokin? Does he really think the tax cut bill will pass the Senate if he tries again to put in a repeal of ObamaCare? He lost that vote already and will lose it again. The same Republican Senators will likely vote no again. I suppose Cruz is feeling the heat from the Home builders lobby. In life, one can't appease everybody. And no, I don't support Trump or this tax cut bill. But I do know what it will take to get it passed.

awwww you still BUTT HURT over losing ur azzes off in the elections??? lol!!!! wait til next year when the rest of your IDIOTS get the BOOT!!!! LMAO WASHINGTON - The Tuesday night rout of Republican candidates up and down the ballot has triggered alarm bells in Republican circles that a deteriorating political environment could set in motion a Democratic wave in the 2018 midterm elections. The most dramatic results unfolded in Virginia, where Democrats swept up victories in the governor's race and delegate contests across the state, fueled by suburban voters who once favored Republicans. But it wasn't just Virginia: Democrats won the New Jersey governor's mansion and in several suburban Philadelphia counties, where they nabbed local offices that have long been controlled by the GOP. "I had an expectation that it would be tight; I did not expect it to break as dramatically as it did," said Rep. Ryan Costello, a Republican who represents suburban Philadelphia's Chester County, where Democrats notched unprecedented local wins. "It is largely driven by mainstream Republicans and independents being displeased by the tone and style of the administration, coupled with an historic off-year intensity by Democratic voters who wanted to make a statement. This is their first opportunity to do that." For Republicans, who have won all of the marquee special congressional elections of the Donald Trump era to date, Tuesday's results across the country were a reminder that Democrats are, in fact, capable of translating liberal anti-Trump energy into actual votes. It was evidence of the environmental perils that often await a president's party in the midterm elections - especially when that president has historically low approval ratings.
