“... the carried interest is really a tremendous burden on the country. I have friends that are make — and enemies, mostly enemies, frankly, otherwise maybe I wouldn’t be saying this, but I am saying it for the good of the country. And none of them are going to support me, and I don’t want their support, although I could get it if I want it. <...> I would take carried interest out, and I would let people that are making hundreds of millions of dollars a year pay some tax, because right now they’re paying very little tax, and I think it’s outrageous."

“Well, I want to do something with the Wall Street guys, because some of these guys are making so much money, and they have carried interests provisions, and I understand very well, and I’ve used them myself. I think they’re wonderful, but I think they’re unfair, and I want to get rid of carried interest, and some other things... <...> We’re going to get taxes down, but the Wall Street guys, with the carried interests and stuff, we’ve got to get rid of stuff.”

Do you really need me to tell you which tax loophole has survived all but unscathed through tax reform? <..>
Nothing says draining the swamp like breaking a campaign promise, and then allowing a major beneficiary of that action to hold a fundraising event for you less than 24 hours later.
Make no mistake, Senate Republicans had opportunities to fully do away with the carried interest loophole. They didn’t. When Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin proposed an amendment to do away with the carried interest loophole, the Senate rejected it on a party line vote. Why? No Republicans offered any serious public explanation.
