we will undo this someday. we will undo this. it takes us to our most important member of the day, 2602. it has been 2602 days sense the house passed the affordable care act and today the republican house. the republican controlled house without a single democratic vote passed that republican health care replacement plan. think of that. more than seven years ago. let s put this into context. 2008, barack obama runs for president. he said i ll do what democrats have been dreaming of doing for generations. i ll pass health care reform. he has democrats in the house and the senate. they get it done in 2010. there s a back lash. republicans make the mid terms all about obamacare. they vowed to repeal it, they vow to replace it. they get control of congress in 2010. they still need the presidency if they re going to undo ind
post of president. so the populist wave didn t really gather force after trump was elected. and although marine le pen got into the final round, if she loses by a decisive number, it will not look like trump had the wave across europe. it might look like bit of a trump back lash. so i think the white house is watching this with a realistic eye. they can read the polls as well as known else. meantime the former president had a message. the main thing i want to say is to wish you all the best in the coming days and make sure that as you said, you work hard all the way through. you never know, it might be that last day of campaigning that yeah. i do agree. i will do my best. believe me. and so i will fight to the last
enough. here with that back lash. a lot of people say the punishment for that professor should call for the assassination of donald trump is not enough. fresno state university professor landed in hot water after sending this tweet saying to save american democracy trump must hang, the sooner, the higher, the better. he descended that statement calling himself the victim of a right wing smear campaign. he weighed in placing the professor on paid leave. and to conduct off-campus research, calling this a slap on the wrist which and cannot and should not, he belongs in jail
him. maybe he thinks because he gets the big crowds that his approval rating is higher than it is. i think they re under the misimpression that it does not matter whether they grow their base because they have a majority, they think. keep going there because what you have today is a stymied congress and what you re going to have going forward is a stymied congress. they re not going to be able to get things done if they keep being as divisive as they are. a huge majority and lost the house two years later. there s a real risk of back lash. and republicans on the hill will do well to ignore him a little bit and try and do their own thing. we ll all be watching tomorrow night. thank you. up next president trump s budget plan increases spending $54 billion. but how will he pay for it? .
exxon s rex tillerson could succeed as secretary of state. than nice to have you on. first to you, the back lash has been swift and strong, including among top republicans. it s notable many republicans on capitol hill quickly pushed back on this saying they re concerned over the ties that rex tillerson has with vladimir putin, the work he s done with russia over the years. we heard from senator john mccain over the weekend saying he s very concerned about their friendship. he s called vladimir putin a murderer and thug, and we also heard from senator rubio sounding the alarms. he took to twitter and tweeted, quote, being a friend of putin is not an attribute i m hoping from from a secretary of state. notably rubio is a member of the senate foreign relations committee. so, he has a big role in potentially considering tillerson should he officially be nominated by donald trump.
