Bernie could have come off as a (slightly wacky) Statesman if he would have fought the corruption by the DNC in the primary. Instead he folded like a cheap suit, took the money and hid out in his new vacation home while Hillary gave it away. Now nobody in either party cares what he has to say.

Hard to believe a government extremist like Bernie throwing in the towel.

At least he’s coming up something new, “bad rich people are to blame”.

You have to give McConnell and Ryan some credit for keeping the cats herded through this ramshackle process. They used the threat of Trump well, and the president played his role well. This is pretty close to the tax plan they ran on, and they actually got it done, minus the BAT which would have made it a lot more attractive in terms of the individual code.

Bernie: You and everyone else are such phonies it’s appalling. You and your colleagues complain: “The rich are not paying their fair share!” Okay, Bozo, then explain to me why you’re bitching when you guys are the ones who wrote the Tax Code in the first place?

Sanders called the bill a major win for corporations but a huge hit for the middle class, who will see their tax rates increase after the cuts expire in 10 years.

Not to worry it and Obamacare can be revisited, revised, repealed, replaced and re-configured in President Donald J. Trump's (ILWT) second term

(ILWT = I Love Writing That)

I guess I’m really behind the times. There are 52 Republican senators. I thought 60 votes were needed to pass a bill in the senate (to overcome a minority filibuster).

Bernie thinks all money belongs to the Federal Government and congress gets to decide how much we are allowed to keep.

FU Bernie! Go help your wife defraud another bank or two.

“too many forces opposing Democrats that they could not overcome”

Maybe that’s because they were right and the majority looked at it that way. You don’t generally lose a vote because you were outnumbered by people just because they disagreed with your agenda. They were interested in trying to improve something. You just wanted to play partisan politics, not do your job of making decisions in the best interest of the people. Sometimes your agenda is not right. But you’ll never know.

Was Sanders asked why he owns three homes, where he got the money to buy the lakefront house on Lake Champlain during the campaign, is his wife guilty, and what’s his net worth? Did anyone ask him to explain the wealth of Democrat senators and Congressmen or why most of the wealthiest Congressional districts vote Democrat?

“And their job is to represent multi-national corporations, not working families.”

What would YOU know about “working families”, Mr. Rich White Vermonter?

The tax bill will make employees less toxic for businesses hire and keep, and lead to fuller (non-govt) employment.

The Dems/progressives/collectivists/Sanders-socialists just, absolutely HATE that.

More Americans working and more Americans keeping more of what they earn. (And more Bernies afraid of our success!)

What’s 4 minus 2?

Answer: The number of jobs Bernie Sanders has had, if you count government jobs.

Years ago, when I first became aware of Bernie Sanders, I quickly concluded that he was a fruitcake and basically insignificant. I was right about the former but I was wrong about the latter. He’s gained significance only because the democratic party and young people (with heads full of mush) have bought into his lunacy. But he is still a fruitcake.

This is stupid. If this is a huge pay off to corporations and EVERYONE knows it and all this will do is make companies do buy backs then the obvious question that I have is: Which companies are most likely do do buybacks? Once Someone gives me the answer I buy shares of that company and profit. So Let me ask any of the financially savvy here. Which companies are likely to do buybacks? Apple, HP, MasterCard? Who?
Waiting with Cash in hand to buy stocks...If you want to be a political hack then you won’t make money. As for me, I’ll use this as an opportunity...(by the way, I don’t believe it’s purely a giveaway to corporations)
