Karine Jean-Pierre, Senior Advisor at MoveOn.Org, and Jon Miller, White House Correspondent for CRTV, discuss recent Gallup and Quinnipiac University polls that reveal an overall distaste by the American people for the latest Senate Tax Reform bill.

Jon and Karine go head-to-head on tax reform, with Jon asserting that it's a cut that will benefit all, including corporations. Karine challenges Jon, arguing that there will inevitably be cuts to medicare, medicaid, and programs that benefit the middle class and lower income households.
