I think we could pass a comprehensive tax reform bill and a comprehensive immigration reform bill.

I generally agree with your posting. However, I have a big problem with the sentence I copied above.
The word that’s a turn-off is “comprehensive”. IMO, the tax and immigration issues need to be dismantled bite by bite. You can’t eat an elephant in one bite!
People hate the word ‘comprehensive’, because it means endless amendments and nothing ever gets done.
Break down tax and immigration, as well as several other federal programs, into segments and submit bills on individual segments to change the omnibus programs.
“comprehensive” allows for some give and take. But, I get your drift. Henry Clay’s Compromise of 1850 was proposed and narrowly defeated as a package and then was narrowly passed as a series of bills.
