Anyone watching the tax bill debate on CNN?

[PatsFan87]

Cruz says he hates the elimination of the SALT deduction provision yet he'll vote for the bill anyways.

1. Thanks for the reminder.

Cantwell just came back slamming cruz + repugs for DIVIDING.

[PatsFan87]

2. I wasn't sure about her debate performance thus far but that changed my mind.

EPIC slam against Eddie Munster.

4. Yes it was, and now they're saying 'No we didn't,'

Sen. Sanders says 'Yes you did,' re: throwing #### off health care, so I'm back to Rachel show, but thanks again.

3. Another fucking moron...like we really need any more in DC?

They owe their donors, not their constituents. I hope they rot in Hell.

6. Texas has no income tax.

Cruz is actually saying he doesn't give a shit about YOUR income taxes.

[Ace Rothstein]

12. Don't they have high property taxes?

I believe those are also covered by SALT.

[yallerdawg]

16. No, they have oil!

They don't need no stinkin' taxes!

21. "Texas" has no property taxes.

It's all on local.

I'm sure Cruz has figured the impact on his position on the tax bill - and understands property tax deduction will not be in the final passage, as it is not now in the House version.

Since this is now a tax cut package and not a tax reform package, the R's have a lot of wiggle room.

I live in a state with incredibly low property taxes - and pay 10% sales tax on every item I purchase in the city except motor oil.

19. Yes, Texas has high property taxes. nt

[ecstatic]

7. This is a disaster! It's a back as forth with rethugs denying

all the bad parts of the tax bill.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. I saw about a minute of it

Got tired of Cruz shouting over everyone. If he did that to me I'd be tempted to deck his ass.

They need better debate rules.

10. If you give in to temptation and need bail money, I've got your back. nt

[VOX]

11. I'll gladly help you out so you don't have to go to the pokey alone.

[MyNameGoesHere]

9. If those two are our opposition voices

we're in trouble.

[BannonsLiver]

13. I tend to agree

Currently listening to an answer from Cantwell that is borderline incoherent.

“Senator why aren’t you with president trump when it comes to helping the middle class?” was the question from a Fox News zombie voter.

It should be an easy answer.

[Takket]

18. "because drumpf doesn't want to help the middle class"

i knew the answer to that immediately.......... follow up by pointing out his desire to repeal ACA, increase your taxes, increase your internet rates........

[cpamomfromtexas]

14. Republicans looking bad

Hopefully average Americans will see through them.

Their plan is total crap.

[a kennedy]

15. Im so nervous........

THEY ARE MAKING ME NERVOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

[a kennedy]

17. And who the hell is this Tim Scott???

Been making a name for himself lately......
