Sad thing is, I can’t point to a single thing other than the “temporary” tax cut from the last Congress, when they had the clear majority.

I’m so sick of the claim they’ll do things if we just put them in the majority.

McConnell and Ryan had no list whatsoever of things they’d get done in a hurry if they go the majority.

Oh yes, I did forget the temporary tax cut.

Ryan was/is a never-Trumper and was from the get-go. He purposely tanked practically from day one, and did absolutely nothing to help Trump in any way. And he gave us all the stink eye on the way out the door by not trying to make sure that the House went to the democRATS.

McConnell has done as little as possible to help Trump and has only worked to advance his own interests.

“Temporary”? Aren’t ALL tax-cuts, unlike HIKES, ‘temporary’??

Weren’t the nut-less wonders selling the tax-cuts as ‘revenue neutral’?? ‘Cuz it sure wasn’t ‘across the board\for every income tax-paying Citizen’

Drivel......

The House passed all sorts of stuff passed up to the Senate where it was not taken up because it had no chance of receiving 60 votes. The most glaring example is Obamacare that was passed up I believe 51 or 57 times.

Your anti Republican charges are fashionable but not really true.

The fact is, the Republican House had no more power than the current Democrat House in the face of a Senate with a Republican majority but lacking 60 votes.

Politics is still the art of the possible

“McConnell and Ryan had no list whatsoever of things they’d get done in a hurry if they go the majority.”

And they voted numerous times to repeal Obamacare, when they knew it would go nowhere. Once Trump was in, we heard nothing more about it.
