A day after the GOP presented a united front around the rollout of President Trump’s tax plan, House Republicans are expressing deep reservations about the Senate’s ability to get the job done.

Lawmakers stung over the failure to pass ObamaCare repeal worry the same fate could befall the tax measure if a handful of senators raise objections.

“Donald Trump won with an electoral landside and his three big campaign points were ObamaCare repeal, tax reform and border security. For a handful of senators to derail that agenda is very frustrating,” said Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas).

Wow--this guy is calling it a landslide win for the guy who LOST the popular vote.

The US is officially the funny farm.

Still running with that propaganda when it's been repeated to you that's not how presidents are elected. Why do you do this?


No just stating a fact. Trump lost the popular vote.

Under no circumstances should anyone call an election a landslide in favor of the guy who got fewer votes.

No one expects Rep/Cons to accomplish anything.
We won't be disappointed!

Once again, the actual vote count doesn't matter


Awesome. The actual vote count no longer matters.

Joey, do you understand the difference?


First off it wasn't a landslide no matter how you look at it. It was among the closer electoral counts of the last 8 elections. Second--ignoring the actual vote count in a Democracy is idiotic. Pretending that there was some sort of mandate for a candidate that lost the raw vote count is beyond hilarious.
