Scarborough: Many GOPers Told Me Pelosi Will Be Speaker in 2018 So They Had to Pass Tax Cuts

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "I hope I’m wrong. But Steve Kornacki, it seems to me this bill was passed for one main reason, one main reason. And that is because you had GOP donors that had been complaining for six, seven, eight months that Donald Trump and the Republican majority were just not getting things done. They were bungling their way through the first half of 2017 and many said, quite openly to me six, seven months ago, we know that Nancy Pelosi is going to be speaker after the 2018 elections. We have to get these tax cuts done. I was shocked by how brutally honest they were with me. They didn’t like Trump. They knew the Republicans couldn’t hold their majority. All they wanted was this tax cut. Now if they were saying that to somebody in the media, imagine the pressure they were putting on members day in and day out that they contributed to. And their attitude basically was if they don’t get this done we’re just not going to give them any more money in the future."
