pretty hard to imagine if you come back and start again in january that you get done before february or so. i think you're exactly right. i think it makes it much harder for them to get this done than it would have been six months ago. every day people have a chance to look at this and try to add up the things that don't add up i think there's less public support and every day democrats get closer to the next election, some of them will have to decide do i want to stay in congress or do i want to vote on this purely partisan bill that nobody republicans, house or senate, will be voting for. >> neil: that's still the way it stands. no republican votes are likely. so these reports that some democrats are trying to arm twist some members in your party have not going anywhere, right? >> i don't think it's going anywhere. i think the arm twisting is going to be them having to twist arms on their own side. again, you know, we get into some of the earliest primaries
