"Everybody's been engaged, and there never was a deal locked in," the aide told HuffPost. "What we're all trying to figure out is whether the White House's objections are truly based on the merits of the deal, or whether they are just trying to kill any deal because they think that anything that lowers the baseline is going to make it harder for them to cut a crappy corporate tax deal with Republicans next year. I personally lean toward the latter … and I do not feel comfortable with the prospect of what the White House and [Sen.] Chuck Grassley [R-Iowa] will come up with next year."
