Stephanopolous to McConnell on Tax Cut Bill: Aren’t You Concerned You’ll Be Wiped out in the Mid Terms?

STEPHANOPOULOS: You may be prepared to do that, but as you know right now the bill is tremendously unpopular. It’s underwater. You have warned in this the past against single-party bills and the damage they can do to a party. You warned about it in Obamacare. We saw that for the Democrats after they passed Obamacare. They got wiped out in the 2010 elections.

Aren’t you concerned that could happen to you in the mid-terms?

MCCONNELL: Well, look, we’re trying to do what we think is important to the country, for the country, a combination of regulatory relief what the administration has already been doing in a significant way, backed up this kind of comprehensive tax reform, we think will produce results, results that we will certainly be able to talk to the American people about in the fall of 2018, and in 2020 as well.
