so i mean, they are aware of the fact that at least the public perception of this white house is not what they want it to be. they re trying to right the ship. what s the one topic you re watching, starting on monday we have lots of things in motion here. so i ll give you two things, one is whether they can revive the health care bill. that s what we saw with president trump meeting with senator paul who has been a big critic and the other big issue is tax reform. this is a big thing that president trump put near the top of his agenda. something that speaker ryan and leader mcconnell want to do. we saw how difficult it was to no night the to unite the party on health care, what is the president s big win going to be? what s the one big thing you re watching this week? i think the gorsuch confirmation will be very interesting. it may be very messy but it will something that can trump as a
and the exports even more attractive abroad. is there a way of tweaking it that where he s able to accomplish what he d like to do and it appears that the tweaks you re aware of they re small enough to keep his base happy? yet fulfill his promise of doing something to nafta? i think the concrete thing was tpp withdrawing from that. doing some tweaks on nafta which are in line with that. partly delivering, but i think tearing up nafta and really jeopardizing those supply chains is very risky. because it s kind of they re tightly knit. right. you pull on the thread, the whole thing can unravel. all the unintended consequences. it will take time to replug in the capacities in the united states. it could take years or decades. i mean, you know, it s like dropping a dozen eggs on the floor. you don t want to do that. is this more about the fact that nafta has been around for so long? and that tpp and t tip had yet to start. i think nafta is well known.
i think one thing overlooked it s possible to force an actual talking filibuster and get back to the traditions of the senate, if democrats want to filibuster this nomination, they should follow the advice of the heritage foundation, rachel bow vard wrote a piece in the hill today she talked about the two speech rule which would enforce a natural talking filibuster. that s what the people want to see. elizabeth, your thought on that? i think neil gorsuch is going to be confirmed this week but i think he ll be confirmed after senator mcconnell changes the rules. i agree wheith brian. i think it s a mistake. i think it really undermines the role of the senate. listen, the supreme court is it s a critical appointment they re dealing with. and they should be able to have some kind of middle ground consensus requirement that s what 60 votes does. the president has come up short in terms of his ability to find a consensus nominee and i think it s going to have a long term
