came out. dan, you can comment on this. it showed in swing districts, democrats would be well served, to at least appear to be trying to work with the president on some of these issues. and i think, you see the comments by greenberg quinnland research. they say in the swing districts they must be willing to express a hope and a desire to work with this president, when his agenda might help in the district. trade comes to mind. and some of the this deregulatory moves come to mind. that free up american manufacturing and spur business growth. yeah, i agree, that s going to be very difficult. the moderate democrat who has to engage in a primary fight. remember, the commor lamb race in pennsylvania there was no primary. democrat primary voters have increasingly moved to the radical far left. it is not going to be easy, even in the swingy-type district to went a primary.
get rid of him, it s that is also just pure fantasy. so they have a challenge right now in trying to change the perception that is out there, but it isn t as if there is some personal coup going on at the moment for everyone to get rid of donald trump. paul: the phrase that i often hear, dan, and you wrote about this week, you said trump proves he s sane, what i hear from the people who work for trump, he s a difficult client. that s a quote i ve heard more than once. he s volatile, he s impulsive, he changes his mind. he doesn t have a lot of fixed north stars, so he can be bounced around. that s a very difficult person to advise. but the madness of king donald, what do you make of that? well, as i i think bill s right, it s a stocking horse for trying to just push trump out of office. but, look, we ve been through a year with donald trump, and they ve passed a major tax reform bill. they ve passed a whole host of deregulatory moves across
helps, you know, america s most vulnerable. republicans have said they ll work to have medicare not touched. in order for that to happen, they need a separate bipartisan bill. let s bring in michael strain from the american enterprise toou constitute. there s no doubt this is going to blow a hole in the deficit. even if you are wildly bullish, if you support trickle down economics, is it not at least a risk to have bullish assumptions tied to the fact that the treasury department is saying gdp growth is going to be over much of which hasn t even been approached yet. yeah. i think that s basically right. i mean, we you know, we have seen some significant deregulatory action by the trump administration. that will have an impact on economic growth. we will see this tax bill signed into law by the president. and that will increase economic
michael grayson said this with reflection on the alabama race, he said the only way elected republicans will abandon trump is if they see it and their own self-interest and the only way they ll believe it is to watch a considerable number of their fellow republicans lose. molly? that seems to be a theme for those who are part of the never trump movement. they want more people to be happy with the policies of donald trump, they might not like the tweeting or the behavior. getting out of the paris climate change agreement and an general, the deregulatory path and even with this national security strategy that s coming out on monday, a focus on actual national security threats and set of stuff like climate change which we saw under obama.
over into senate races. laura: dana, on the issue of substance that juan williams brought up, saying this is kind of a referendum on trump -ism. i would take issue with that as bret said. going forward with the immigration, trade deal, deregulatory efforts, judges, where does this leave the republican party when you have flay, murkowski, collins and mccain more obviously on many issues really on the opposite side of donald trump? i think in many ways the president is in pretty good shape on that. as bret has been saying all night, the tax reform bill is going to get voted on most likely before jones is ever set. i m not convinced he wouldn t have voted for anyway. let s say they get tax from done. then the president is that he wants to move on and do border security, immigration and an infrastructure bill. democrats want to work on an infrastructure bill. there s nothing here that would change the past judges. i think i m trade the president
