Sen. Lindsey Graham hit the nail on the head.
“This is the last, best chance we will have to cut taxes,” said Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and a member of the Budget Committee, who warned that the consequences would be ruinous if the party failed.
He followed it up with this.
“That will be the end of us as a party,” he said, “because if you’re a Republican and you don’t want to simplify the tax code and cut taxes, what good are you to anybody?”
The Senate passed the blueprint 51-49 Thursday night as part of a “vote-a-rama” whirlwind of activity. Let’s see if they can follow it up with the House’s version without mucking it all up.

It really protects the filibuster more than it protects the tax reform proposal, which has yet to be worked out. Graham continued: “That will be the end of us as a party,” he said, “because if you’re a Republican and you don’t want to simplify the tax code and cut taxes, what good are you to anybody?” Well, yeah.
