1. Yep , his presence on Trump's advisory team during the election was a big warning sign

Media paid him no mind for the most part.

This is a guy who is fine with getting rid of departments like education, the epa .. etc etc .

2. They've been waiting to do this for years. This is not chaos, this is not dementia,

this is long-term planning.

3. I think his theory could backfire spectacularly.

Republicans are also going to be hurt by the bill. They also write off state and local taxes. They also write off interest on loans to get an education. They also purchase health insurance. And on and on and on. Some Republicans live in a fantasy world where all of them are wealthy.

9. Similar To What I Was Thinking

Yes, this tax bill could send the Affordable Care Act into a death spiral. However, if that happens people can go out and vote Republicans out of office. The Republicans are playing a dangerous game with this tax bill. How many low income people might decide to vote for a Democrat if their taxes increase? How do we think a regular guy will feel if his taxes go up while a rich guy gets a tax break to buy a private jet? The Republicans might end up pissing off all the wrong people with this tax bill. For the Republicans, this bill could end up being the same as cutting off your nose to spite your face.

4. How Did That Guy Graduate 8th Grade?

You ever heard him speak? He's as dumb as dirt.

5. It's death to America, lyin' Steve.

I actually heard this guy on CNN a few weeks ago state unequivocally that Trump does not lie.

8. He will say anything. Anything.

7. I want to slap some sense into him everytime I see him on tv.

10. A rising tide lifts all boats

A rising tide for the 1% only capsizes all boats except the yachts of the billionaire's.

Republicans are dumb MFers!
