EXCERPT:
BROWNSTEIN: "Well, the weakness of this bill is the strength, right? I mean, the idea was that if you put all of the Republican priorities into one bill, it would become, in effect, too big to fail. The individual members would be reluctant to vote against it, to sink the new president's agenda, and be the person kind of responsible for that. But, when you do put everything in one bill, you -- there is just so many more things that someone can object to, that can hurt their own constituents. And it's not unique the problems they're having. I mean, historically, we've seen, at least since Reagan, that the first year of a president, new incoming president, they put their tax agenda in one bill. It often has a precarious road to passage. But this, I think, is especially vulnerable, because, as we talked about before, they are doing two things together here that Republicans have not tried to do since 1995. They are cutting taxes in a big way that benefits mostly people at the top, and as you've been discussing, they are imposing major cuts in social programs that benefit people in the middle and below, and they are doing that in one bill. They haven't done that since the Gingrich Congress in 1995, and it creates a very clear set of winners and losers, Omar. I mean, the Congressional Budget Office has calculated the House version of the bill, on average, families earning less than $76,000 a year will come out net losers.”
