Political capital is dwindling. Budget cliff is in September (I think?).

Which would you prefer? What do you think leadership will do?

The GOP has to stop listening to idiots in the media and verified checkmate asshats on twitter.

Just stick to your guns and rip the bandaid off.

Not going to happen.

It died tonight too, at least during this session.

Republicans should have spent the last several weeks focusing on this and the budget. It remains to be seen if they can even put something together for those.

The wheels are falling off and McConnell and Ryan have not shown the ability to get it done. You think Trump becomes more assertive in rallying the Hill?

Tax reform to include LLCs as corporations.

At this point I am thinking about voting against all incumbents for the next 3 years.

There's no excuse to not be dominating. Those that stand in the way should pay a price. It's time for Trump and the voters that put him there to march to the sea.

Straight repeal which is want TRUMP and the rest of us wanted all along.

He knew the GOP would play their usual games and as a result he now has the excuse to push for full repeal.

Tax reform

Benefits would be more immediate - people would have more cash faster

We really don't know what repeal would do to impact pocketbooks quickly

People will see the money and understand the impact of tax cuts quickly and it would help at the ballot box in 18, thereby making a repeal/replace bill lol easier to pass

Tax reform. More palatable to more people. I think you could see more immediate benefits.

I think Trump continues to act like a child and will avoid all responsibility for this mess.

From what has been proposed, tax reform. We are still likely to get both though.

How is it trump's fault that there are a-hole republican senators in congress that are not economic conservatives?

What is trump supposed to do? Send the army to their homes and threaten them to vote yes?

As it is now, if nothing is done about Obamahcare then any savings from tax reform will be offset by higher insurance premiums. That is if people want to keep their health insurance.

Tax reform was always going to be easier to whip than HC. Rs will need something before '18 so there will be some added pressure to pass tax reform.

Maybe, but people will see the money

And dems still own the health care mess

Taxes 1st is more likely to be a winning strategy
