That there would be any honest answers on that and I doubt seriously that more than 35% of the population would believe them.

Hillary won his district so he is an endangered incumbent. Also California is a high tax state so the upper income in his state in many cases stand to lose under this bill. I don't think he does but the 500k to a couple of mill crowd does.

#7. If not, why not?
#8. During which term did you sell out your constituents or was it over a period of years?
#9. Do you even care that your legacy in the Senate will be nothing but a sad reminder to the people of your state that they voted a for a crook?

“The real lesson of the kick at Bob Corker is how terrified the left is of a bill that could be a popular tax cut that helps the economy and lifts incomes.”

Found that on Twitter this morning. @SenBobCorker He has no fucks to give now that he plans to retire and live large. But I still recommend leaving him constant reminders of how much better life is for you because of this bill, in case there is anything resembling a conscience in that skin suit.
