quote:

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday poured cold water on the Trump administration's goal of completing tax reform by the August recess



quote:

I think finishing on tax reform will take longer," McConnell said during a Playbook Live interview. 

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said late last month that the administration wants to wrap up a long-held GOP goal of overhauling the tax code before lawmakers leave for a month-long break. 





quote:

Pressed about when he thought lawmakers would be able to complete tax reform, the Senate's top Republican demurred. 

"it is complicated. All of those discussions are already under way," McConnell said. "How do you craft it?" 





quote:

McConnell added on Thursday that the Senate has to wrap up work on an ObamaCare repeal bill, also being passed through reconciliation, before it can bring tax reform to the floor. 



These bastards are DELIBERATELY dragging their feet on Trump's agenda. They're wanting to drag things along one bill at a time giving Dems and the media ample opportunity to form all the false narratives they can.

Trump is right, the next elections are going to be a bloodbath if they don't get off their arse.

Here ya go Mitch:

1 - call President Trump & ask for a meeting in the Oval Office
2 - show up at the meeting with a steno book and pencil
3 - write down what he tells you
4 - everyfrickingbody profits

I've been hearing August was the schedule for at least a month now. Immigration and Health Reform and then tax reform with infrastructure to follow.

Actually, they need to establish a clear path of what to focus on, which is what it seems like they are starting to do. One thing at a time. I'd prefer Tax reform before AHCA, but alas, I am not in congress to set those priorities.

I agree a clear path needs to be chosen. But it's like these idiots can't chew gum and talk at the same time.

The Republicans are blowing their moment out of pure spite.
