By now every informed American, including Republicans themselves, know that Trump’s tax bill will harm everyone in America with the exception of large corporations, and the super rich. They are struggling to pass it before the Holiday break. They have the votes, but they don’t have complete support.

If Republicans were intelligent, and cared about the polls, they would refuse to pass this horrific bill. Last nights stunning victory in Alabama should have sent chills down their spines; if they have one.

Instead, last nights victory by Doug Jones has inspired failed leaders Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan to move even faster. They have been negotiating in secrecy to move moderates and extremists to an agreement, and serve their fuhrer.

Does anyone remember that they took the same action when they attempted to pass Trumpcare? They spent just over three weeks trying to repeal Obamacare, and failed miserably. No bill which passes through congress can be good for all Americans without bipartisan participation. Republicans cannot govern, and their fiscal policies are always failures.

They continue to shove ‘trickle-down economics’ down our throats and it fails every time. Reagan began the policy and it harmed the working class. It continued to fail under both Bush 41 and Bush 43.

The Republicans are like the ‘Keystone Kops’ in the silent movies. They run around as fast as they can, but never accomplish anything of substance.

Please re-post; thank you.
