Being here. On the jones act, critics say the white house should have moved forward quickly in waiving the jones act. Why is that an unfounded complaint . Mr. Bossart it is an unfounded complaint.

You saw tim scott do it, just about every republican do it, all about that. Goal to get it done by christmas. They have done all they can do on roy moore. So now its just left up to them to sort out the tax reform issue. House will take it up, senate will do it by some point in early december. But i tell you, elements of this are starting to feel like the obamacare fight over the summer, where theyre rushing the timeline, not explaining it to anybody beyond their base.
