senate but 50. today was an attempt to not -- if the republicans had come in and surrendered the president would have been glad to accept it. really what he was doing, and the other tms were doing, were laying the groundwork to use reconciliation and whatever parliamentary techniques they news need to use to ram through what they can ram through. it's not clear they can do it and get it passed. that's where they're headed. >> everybody was basically in their corner to start and sort of never left. >> it's the worst of american politics in the following sense. a lot of people say washington is very political, very partisan. a lot of fighting. the country wants compromise. these members of congress face pressure from within their party to be partisan. they know at least some people in the country want compromise. you heard a lot of rhetoric about we're not that far apart, let's work together, let's compromise. the reality most of the energy in the room, was as the president said, the same old talking points from both sides. >> looks like no omp mize coming out of this.
