The satate. why did he attack the mayor? she s in a pretty desperate situation and seemed to lack empathy. i think as you know when the president gets attacked he attacks back. and i think the may or s statement was unfair. how do you know they are unfair? have you been down there? i haven t been down there. i remember going through hurricane andrew, a week later and no power. the president himself tweeted a week after sandy hit, it s outrageous that power isn t on. people do get frustrated. again, i completely understand people s frustration. and this is a very, very difficult situation. i haven t been there. but i ve been almost on daily calls monitoring what s going on with the rest of the cabinet. i think fema has done a tremendous job given a difficult ....
Taxes not being able to write them off anymore, is this a way to target the wealthy in blue states? not at all t absolutely not fair and not the case. what i would say about tax reform is, it hasn t been done in 30 years. we are focused on changing the system. the system is broken and most americans understand it s broken. they are not happy with the difficulty of filling out tax plans. and under our plan 95% can fill out on one card. think about the money it saves at the irs and simplicity of that. i have to read you a quote from bob corker saying they are throwing sugar out on the table. you haven t dealt with spinach on the table. i guess you can say the tax deduction is your form of spinach. what else? is anybody are we going to take seriously the fiscal issues of this country with this tax ....
Republican party has essentially, has outsourced its thought leadership to the loudest, most obnoxious, the guy at the end of the bar, as opposed to being a governing party or taking philosophy ideas seriously at all anymore. and they re doing it in part from the lessons of the tea party. the tea party said we re going to break everything, and they took down major leaders in the republican party. they are more afraid of primaries. they know once they get through them, gerrymandering, et cetera, keeps going in the general election. governing isn t even important. do you fear too many democrats are sort of intoxicated by the idea of, like, well, let s go with our own machine? i don t think it s that. i think democrats are still enthralled to this idea that they can have back that trump voter that somehow, they can win them back, that if they just offer them the right things and woo them in the right way, they can somehow win them back, rather than understanding that at this point, ....
Situation. and we are doing everything we can to get resources to the governor so they can be distributed. but i understand people s frustration on the island. and i can assure you the federal government is doing everything we can. does the president seemed as if histone changed. does he regret attacking the mayor and people of puerto rico? i haven t spoken to the president so i can t comment on it. so i don t think he was attacking the people. he understands the people are going through a very difficult situation. let me move to the tax plan here. i would say the way this was rolled out, it seems as if you are making promises that if you can keep them all, it would be like doing this. deficit is not going to go up. everybody get a tax cut. but wealthy not going to benefit. explain this to me, will everybody get a tax cut? ....
