how bad is this going to be in we continue on this trajectory? my predictions are as good as the paper they re written on, which is to say they re not written on paper, will you never find it. it doesn t look like it s any good. eseen in specials in the off years, last november, every democrat that can vote is coming out. republicans afternoon. republicans are staying home. there is this talking point on the reid right on the republican stalwarts that said the committee chairman are limited. they want to get out of there, they don t want to be here. that s nonsense, the bottom line is no one wants to be in the majority. i think there is a total of 19 republicans who said they will not run compared to only seven democrats have said that. and if you look again, what noah said, eddie, if you look at where republicans are under performing, it s in a lot of these areas where people are retiring and it used to be that
not going to win out. i think that may be lacking here in the oval office response. so i ve seen also a lot of people suggest this week maybe people should be resigning in mass. people should be grinding the republican agenda to a halt out of protest. i m not sure that s the correct reaction either. fellow mcconnell veteran josh homes said republican need to reassert the identity without donald trump. ignore him completely. we can t ignore the president. but i think what josh may be getting at here is political parties should be built on ideas, not personality. and if eseen some republican the some democrats this week say things like well no tax cut, no regulatory relief, no road project is worth all this. but are you really suggesting that we should grind all policy making in washington to a halt?
that he can hopefully build a more trusting relationship than would whatever eseen in the last few weeks. is that realistic? a possibility? in some ways it has to happen. i don t know how a president can face a very dangerous world and all the threats that this country is facing throughout the world and not have intelligence about what our adversaries are up to. so i think it s got to happen. and hopefully trusting in the people that he s putting in these positions, they will be able to build that relationship. so today a lot of folks are arriving in washington for the inauguration tomorrow. there are also dozens of lawmakers who are not be at the inauguration, who are boycotting it. i want to play to you what steve cohen one of those boycotters said to tamron? i think it serves a large role. i think he is needy. he has been needy since they dropped him off at the military school when he was 13 years old.

mitch mcconnell joins us this evening from new york. senator, thanks for being here. glad to be with you. today the president said, as we just heard, that the website s problems do not reflect or should not reflect on obama care as a whole. your reaction to that. of course, that s not the case. the trip to the website is sort of like a trip to the department of motor vehicles in your state. the people who deseen signed this website shouldn t be in charge of our health care. the government is going to botch this. they have had four years to get ready. it s clear to me that this isn t going to work. it s not fixable. jobs are being lost, premiums are going up, even if you re lucky enough to get on the site, the chances are you have fewer choices and higher premiums than you would have before obama care. so everything about this law is
