i think left to their own devices, chuck shuchumer and th senate democrats would cut a deal. but if she cuts a deal of any sort, she s at risk of losing her speakership. what s the truth level? that was a cute and lovely spin but i think if anybody watched how soon to be speaker pelosi worked to secure her votes in the caucus to become speaker, i think that you would understand that what he just said is a lot of bs, actually. it s a very cute way, quite honestly, to spin the fact that, you know, trump has tried to make the shutdown the democrats fault kind of the way, for my fellow millenials who watch mean girls, it s not going to happen. it s very much he claimed proudly in the white house that he was going to do live on national television, he was going to shut down the government over funding for a wall. so he s going to try and gin up his base and try to make the point. when the numbers come back, and
have these people leave the country. when you deal with trump, that really miupsets the democratic activist base that does not want pelosi or schumer to deal with a president they despise. this is a natural reaction when you buddy up with trump. it s not unexpected. turn to health care quick. i know gop has revived a push to repeal with a new bill by senators graham and cassidy. how are democrats responding to new legislation and can we expect this bill to pass. or is there staunch opposition to it already. chuck shuchumer is trying to hang tight saying you have to call congress. when you have this deadline of september 30, realtime pressure to get it done. democrats are going to be
went up 400% this week and one is health care and it bankrupted and you have the military, the tax bill and the infrastructure and he ll bank on the other four going up and the supreme court went with i think you had the 2020 nominee here in mark warner. long time. he can t be the democratic nominee and not support a filibuster. that s it. exactly. that s why he s running for president and he s going to go with chuck shuchumer and the re rule will break the filibuster. he ll move to the left. s he wants to do infrastructure, he wants to do a big thing on it. he singled out mark meadows and total told republicans, you re going to lose, i m going to campaign against you. people said to me, it wasn t the
it was 17 days in this administration. we ve been working against it the what was the hurry? why didn t you have a bill that could pass in the seven years or why didn t you acknowledge that you needed more time? here is the hurry. there is a lot to be done. we needed to get rid of obamacare. we needed to fix the system so we could help folks back home and then move on to tax reform so we could help get the people back to work. the president wants toa lot of things and is not willing to do and the one thing i told him, look, this president is not like any other president that you ve ever seen before. he will not do things the same way. he didn t sell it. he didn t give a major speech on it and he would do rallies and say health care, i can t wait to do tax reform. it was like a nuisance to him. chuck, no. you re just wrong on that one. the man worked and you said it yourself. we left everything on the field. how do you describe that as leaving everything on the field. pres
