How can she claim the middle class are the best served? How can she lie? 83% goes to the top 1%.

[lizryan]

We need to keep the Repubs avarice, lying, and lack of integrity in mind on voting day.

[MYshamanEYE]

Sorry republicans my sense of civic duty, and my empathy for the poor is not for sale for an extra 1k a year.

[Marchant]

If they had to wait to celebrate for passing a popular bill, the GOP would NEVER celebrate.

I would like to see a Class Action lawsuit against these Robber Barons.

Everyone is always talking about middle income, how about those of the lowest income? What does this bill do for them?

[JamesHawkins]

I was born in NC, lived a long time in TN, and now live in KY. I sure know how to pick 'um. No brains in our Reps and Senators.

"Not good... for the confidence that people should have in congress." She says that, without bursting into laughter, while her party keeps a conman in the White House, who was cheated into office by the Russians... that is a super human level of discipline.

[DennAce]

Why does no one ever answer a question on how it's asked? Who is responsible for fighting carried interest staying in the bill? It's a simple answer, give a name, instead we get pivoted answer.

The truly sad thing is that she's not technically lying - because she and her party haven't gone through regular order to pass this monstrosity, so they have NO ACTUAL IDEA of what this will do to the economy, or income inequality. Her legislative philosophy is apparently to just ram this through, and then spout talking points and platitudes.

[Chadmay]

Come on, Chuck Todd! The lights are not going out you! Give me a break!

[huhwhat]

Oh golly gee. That 2008 crash just slipped her mind.

[socialineptitude]

Someone needs to tell the GOP that it's not 1980 anymore and the problems this country is facing aren't the same.

[kevinpreston]

Government runs out of money in 48 hours. And....
