Republicans gave DJT the message that the legislative calendar was too packed to pass any tax-reform bill before late fall; the next day DJT blindsided those GOP leaders by inviting Schumer and Pelosi to join their meeting, spurned the propositions of McConnell, Ryan and Mnuchin by readily agreeing to a deal proposed by “Chuck and Nancy”, who stood firm on a three-month extension of the debt ceiling and current spending plan and a relief bill for victims of Hurricane Harvey. Trump pledged to work with Dems on DACA, declaring the wall could wait. The GOP was shocked and angered. Trump ran an end-run around them to “clear the deck” for his primary legislative priority: “tax reform for the American people”, which is code for huge tax-cuts for billionaire political donors. This week the GOP is falling in line trying to Repeal and Replace ACA. Chuck and Nancy know the Art of the Deal.
