There are those that will vote for Trump simply because of tax cuts.

They know that he's incompetent, an embarrassment, unhinged, and dangerous, but they want their tax breaks. So, they will vote for him even though they tell pollsters that they disapprove of the job that he's doing overall.

Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by poll numbers. If the Democrats win in 2020, it will be by razor thin margins.

I know of two people that will vote the puke ticket for this reason alone.

Both are rich and both want another tax-cut for the rich only!

Is the legendary Joe/Jill that stupid? Will s/he really vote for tax cuts that do not benefit and may in fact cause harm?

and a disturbing number of them who are inexplicably convinced that democrats would be even worse somehow.

i know a number of people who want donnie out, but who are think the most important thing they should do is support republicans in keeping the senate because the world will somehow go to hell if democrats win the trifecta.

But there are VERY few people wealthy enough to benefit from the tax cuts of Teflon Don.

Chickens voting for colonel sanders as president.

My husband who is in a union works with a Mexican guy that is so ethnic looking he would be stopped by ICE. But he will go off the cliff with MF45 if he was ordered to do so. He hates living in California because of the Democratic control of the state.

This isn't new.

tax-cuts are a single issue, just as abortion is. The Republican party has been devoid of sense and reason since Nixon. They only succeed on single issues and hyping people up with fear about those single issues.
