designers of obama care said as much. if you don t do anything it will collapse on its own. it s going to collapse on its own. even the democratic senator that designed it is saying if we do nothing it will collapse. it will. it s just a fact. i agree with you. they should go for things conference wants to do, republican conference wants to pass tax reform. they want to help businesses, but doesn t seem like they are on the track to do that. looks like they are still going to be mired in health care. budget agreement. need a budget agreement. that s not going to happen realistically until summertime, maybe later. won t be a budget document finalized until may at this point. i think the strategy just put out there on obama care is brilliant, a lot more fruitful than what he s doing but latched onto the words repeal and replace as number one priority and i don t know how you walk back from that. although you are going to own it. this president is going to own it. chances of i
breitbart led to anti-semitic undertones america is dealing with now. worst thing in the white house, not only this white house, when these things come up to say why are we being blamed. this is not our fault. this is the fault of other forces in our society rather than being intro suspect tiff and saying are we doing anything, can we do anything to make this you re in charge. has steve bannon done anything for the atmosphere of anti-semitism. he doesn t speak publicly very much. there certainly were questionable things published at breitbart under tenure that inflamed. is that on him or not. just to follow up, jeremy, that also had a lot of anti-semitic white extremists praising bannon, working the white house, praising breitbart,
