Months, they cant have a replacement. The democrats are very happy in some ways they are going to get rid of obamacare. This was the one big answer paul politically. This was one big answer, a new solution that was going to be revolutionary and change things for the better. Didnt work. They are happy. We had it for six years. Theyre happy to dump it off. Im more optimistic, there are a lot of pitfalls, we can go through them, if we have momentum, get one part down on the replace part, it creates the conditions for further things down the road.

You have to be careful with that waste because it can kill you in the meantime. So i think they just have to have the momentum. Paul the argument is, that you hear, and i hear is
Unfairly. What is wrong with having an overzealous watch Dog Committee . And isnt getting rid of this office the kind of swampy stuff that republicans across America Elected donald trump to get rid of . Theyre bringing anonymous charges and trying them in a public arena.

I would have been happy to bring that to the floor and let
democrats vote on that independently. I think you would have seen strong support

hour. you can expect the unexpected. the white house saying that the script right now calls for a focus on tax reform and that legislation that was successfully passed, particularly by republicans in december. however, of course, president trump often has a tendency perhaps to veer off script and address other issues and other topics. we certainly have to hear what happens in the auditorium that you see behind me. president trump is making his way here after make a couple of brief stops for some rnc fund-raisers. access to this by reporters was denied by the white house. certainly not unusual by this or previous administrations before. as the president meets with some of these republican fund-raisers. but, again, the main focus and topic of conversation inside this auditorium right now will be tax reform. so a lot of policy. but that s certainly doesn t mean politics will be absent today. this is a state that is rolling into a primary in the next few days. and of course one of the re
