Would you let the GOP have their tax cuts in exchange for the impeachment of Donald J. Trump?

[Chasstev365]

I know it's never going to happen.

Hypothetically though, this man is so vain, petty, and downright crazy that I might go along with something I fundamentally and morally object to in order to prevent him from killing us all.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. NO.

[Zoonart]

8. No bargaining with terrorists.

[snowybirdie]

20. Best Response

of the day!

[BigmanPigman]

2. Of course not. I would say impeach first, then talk tax cuts...

I do not trust them at all.

[DFW]

3. Just to give us Pence?

There's no upside to that deal.

[lunatica]

4. No. I'm satisfied if he just doesn't get what he wants as President

So far he's gotten next to nothing and it should stay that way. Unfortunately we have Corsuch as Supreme Justice, but hopefully that won't be too bad for the country.

[WinkyDink]

5. HELL, NO.

[vi5]

6. So they get tax cuts and we get President Pence?

Yeah. No fucking way.

No tax cuts, and let them own President Trump and all that comes with that.

[onecaliberal]

7. No it's devastating.

[samnsara]

9. and get stuck with pence? hell no....

[tblue37]

10. No. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

11. No

Tax cuts will depress the economy. It's a bad idea and we cannot exchange one thing for a very bad thing, no matter how tempting getting rid of "it" might be.

[Dave Starsky]

12. I've been seeing a lot of these threads lately.

"Will you accept [something horrible and evil] in exchange for [something unconscionable and evil beyond imagining].

Here is my answer:

[Hekate]

13. No. Give them nothing. Watch how "Nancy and Chuck" hold the line...

They got a big concession out of Trump, and when he came back recently with one of his tweets about how he was going to make a health care "deal" with his Dem pals, Chuck Schumer slapped him down with a single sentence saying that ACA repeal is off the table. Our two leaders hold Congressional Dem votes very tightly and will not yield to the blackmailers.

[we can do it]

14. Hell no.

[Girard442]

15. When you deal with backstabbers, you get stabbed in the back.

Hypothetically, the deal might look acceptable, but when the actual dealing happened, we'd get screwed.

[Ligyron]

16. No, he'll be impeached or quit anyway.

When we take back congress we need to double the taxes on those making more than 2 million a year.

Lift limits on capital gains to infinity. Same with SS. We'd have money for health care and free college then.

[Frustratedlady]

17. NO! I would raise their taxes to 90% (like Ike) to make up for the years they paid zero...

or just above. They have not been pulling their share of the load for years and it's time to man up.

I'd also go after the money hidden on various islands or small countries which I thought were already identified. Did we ever get any of that money, or was the chase all for show?

Time to get those generous perks off the tax books and let the rich pay their taxes like the rest of us. Don't throw us crumbs to keep us quiet, do what is right.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. No

[MrsCoffee]

19. Nope. Just waiting for Mueller time. Trump will die in jail.

[dawg]

21. No. Their tax "cuts" are still looking like a tax hike for me.

They should impeach, or not impeach, based on the merits of the case that can be brought against him. Personally, I think there is already prima facie evidence of obstruction.

[lunatica]

22. I can't believe it! So far all the DUers agree on NO!

Someone quick! Jot this down on something so we can remember the day all DUers agreed on something!

[Chasstev365]

23. LOL!

[scarytomcat]

24. no way

trump is doing big damage to the repubs being in office ... let him continue
congress is also making them look real bad
should be easy to beat them in the next election

[madinmaryland]

25. No fucking way. NO New tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.

[byronius]

26. If we do, we'll get someone worse next time.

They'll learn Crazy Works.

[Chasstev365]

27. IT'S UNANIMOUS: So if ANY Democrat goes along, we need to fight like them like hell!

[Shrike47]

30. Fighting Democrats seems like a poor idea to me.

Gentle persuasion.

[Chasstev365]

32. Oh, Christ: Gentle Persuasion?

Yeah, that works so well. NOT!

[Ms. Toad]

36. That's not what the question asked,

and I would answer that question differently.

The question asked was whether we would be willing to trade: impeach trump for permitting taxcuts that will do untold damage to people impacted by the cuts.

The clear and easy answer is, "no." I won't trade one evil for another.

As to a straight question about the tax cuts - that's more of a question of how how the sausage is made. Tax rerorm is not always pretty - but I want Democrats creatively negotiating for the best tax bill we can get. We are not the party of "No."

[bluecollar2]

28. no deals with liars....period.

[Demsrule86]

29. no...I wouldn't. Those cuts are awful and would literally kill millions.

[nolabear]

31. I'm sick of being held hostage.

[Borchkins]

33. NOOOOOO!

[Greybnk48]

34. Nope. Not a chance. n/t

[rockfordfile]

35. No I don't think so

[randr]

37. No brainer, of course

You can elect Dems to overturn tax policy. You can do nothing to fix what the lsos is capable of.
