resign from omb? can you do both jobs at once? you can t really, but yes, he can be acting chief of staff and remain entitled the omb director. this is an indication of just how bad the chief of staff job is, that mick mulvaney is keeping his title, a senate confirmed job so, he has something to go back to in case this doesn t work out. if he left the omb job he had have to be reconfirmed or the white house would have to have somebody else nominated and go through the process to replace him at a time when you have trillion dollar plus deficits in the middle of a bunch of budget wars. normally a chief of staff would be exiting and there would be somebody pretty much lined up.
at once, but yes, he can be acting chief of staff at the white house and remain the omb director in title. this is an indication of just how bad the white house chief of staff job is that mick mulvaney is keeping his original title basically a senate-confirmed job, so he has something to go back to if this doesn t work out. you know, if he left the omb job, he would have to be reconfirmed by the senate to go back to omb, or the white house would have to get somebody else nominated and try to go through that process to replace him at omb at a time when you have a trillion plus dollar deficits in the middle of a bunch of budget wars. this is really embarrass for the white house. normally a white house chief of staff would be exiting and there would be somebody pretty much lined up. normally you would not have a public rejection of the president by three candidates in a row. obviously chris christie today,

sandra: more outnumbered in just a moment. first let s get to jenna lee what is happening second hour of happening now. third debate in boulder colorado, the focus on economy but likely to cover a lot more ground than that will be the first time ben carson appears as frontrunner although he doesn t have the center spot. he is surging in recent polls. we ll have analysis. big day on capitol hill. we re expecting vote on house bill that could end budget wars until at least after the 2016 election. first moves to make paul ryan the speak of the house. there is this. a new study says might do you a bit of a good to put down the booze or take a little break. we re not deny anybody wine but there should be a pause. when the doctor join us. how is that #oneluckyguy doing by the way? sandra: we should ask you. you might be a little biased. i couldn t think straight because he is so handsome.
people. and i don t see what they can do at this point, except to really throw the budget and the whole financing system into a terrible mess. there really is no other way to do it except through the budget. and they have already tried it. they ve shut the government down, it didn t work. they tried these things and i think they re in a very tough spot. if i were them, i d pivot and look at infrastructure. gasoline prices are down. it s just a great time to put a big infrastructure program out. because many of these issues dana, were before the voters when the president was re-elected with this wide margin. and then when you look at the fact the hill is reporting on looming budget wars. the gop has vowed to use control of the house and senate to slash the size of government withil entitlement programs such as medicare and social security a potential target for cuts.
