I think the gentleman has been a great champion of tax relief in many respects, and certainly I have a lot of admiration for him. My support today is for the marriage tax penalty relief. But I would love to see us pass this legislation in its entirety one time and have our colleagues in the other body finish the work that this House so many times has passed and that we cannot get through. So, Mr. Speaker, I wanted to go on record saying I do support the efforts of the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Weller) on marriage tax penalty. I think it is so very important for middle-class America, and I support it today.

That's what base republicans called Barack Obama. I think that's partisan rhetoric. I don't think it's accurate at all.

It's always a good idea. Everybody would say that. But I think also the animosity towards Donald Trump by the establishment has been so great that candidates usually don't get the kind of scrutiny he does.
