Poll: GOP tax bill causing large drop in approval ratings of Republicans https://t.co/Bh5z9ZLSSe pic.twitter.com/NOMBSYPRMK

Republicans like tax cuts. I get that. But I'm failing to see how passing a quite unpopular bill that a majority think helps the rich most has any positive impact on their midterm hopes.

They decided the public hates them whatever they do. But if they don’t pass it many GOP donors won’t give them money. Ergo
No bill=public hates them+no money for the campaign
Vs
Bill=public hates them+money to try to make public hate Dems too
They don’t care who gets screwed https://t.co/lcmXOw3ttp

The best explanation of GOP behavior right now is they've become fatalistic about massive electoral losses and so are simply doing what they believe/trying to please the donors and lobbyists who can give them jobs after they're voted out https://t.co/YegX9ZQ6p6
