John Cornyn: Tax bill would have been better if Democrats had participated — "Our Democratic colleagues simply refused to participate in the process. We probably could have made it better if they had, but we were determined to get this job done, to cut taxes, to reform the tax code for the first time in 30 years," Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn said.

Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn said the tax reform bill expected to pass Congress this week could have been better if Democrats had participated in writing it.

“Our Democratic colleagues simply refused to participate in the process. We probably could have made it better if they had, but we were determined to get this job done, to cut taxes, to reform the tax code for the first time in 30 years,” Cornyn told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.
