    Yeah, that's my hunch. Once they've gotten Trump's signature on horrible tax bill, they don't need Trump anymore.https://twitter.com/paulkrugman/status/936647341834231809 …

    Relatedly: while there is some risk that a tax "win" will empower Trump, it's also possible that once Congressional Rs have pulled off their heist, they'll figure that they can get nothing more from Trump and it's time to turn on him 5/

        You don’t think they’ll try to do entitlements?

        What, you don't think they have more horrible ideas? I think they'll see this as having gained some momentum they can use.

        It might be wise* for him to say it doesn't cut enough and veto it. Then they will have to pass a new one and won't have time to impeach him. *no I'm not crazy, I don't think this, and I think Trump is crazy and might.

        Polls of Republican primary voters say the number 1 quality they’re looking for is loyalty to Trump. He’s the party now.
