"We're not delivering. We're not getting the job done and people are frustrated. I'm frustrated. I promise you; as frustrated as you are, I'm banging my head into it every day. You have good reason to be cynical, and a lot of people across the country are ticked off. We've got an incredible opportunity - an opportunity that doesn't happen very often. Unified control of government for Republicans historically has been quite rare. And it's been the Senate that hasn't been able to deliver. You look at the votes over ObamaCare? Those were maddening."
"I believe we will get tax reform done. I think it'll either be late this year or early next year. I think we're early in the debate. It's going to take at least a couple months - There are a lot of back-and-forths that are going to happen in tax reform - but I do think virtually every Republican wants to get to yes. And I think that's a really important pre-condition to get it done."We'll see. Frankly, as long as John McCain remains in office, I have a hard time seeing the GOP wrangle those last three votes.
