I don't think you've characterized the situation accurately. I think what's happening here is that the GOP realizes just how ineffective and politically unpopular the tax reform bill, so they're looking for any excuse to dump it.

Here's the problem in a nutshell ... How do you sell the American voter on the urgency of a tax reform package when there's nothing in it that will address the biggest challenges taxpayers and employers are facing in the U.S. right now?

The stock market is up because of promised corporate tax cuts.

The stock market might go back down, and down, and down...

Home sales might go down, and down....

You may be correct but my gut tells me McConnell would fight it if it was a perfect plan.
