would guess would be the case unless it is egregiously bad. chris: rachel, what do you think are the prospects of a deal that can be passed on daca and prospects for a deal on tax reform? you talk to republicans right now they will tell you a slim chance in terms of the white house striking a deal with democrats and getting it over the line while cutting out gop leadership. you mentioned that a lot of the base still has faith in trump and they see this, they say he knows interest, do what is best for us, there s a totally different feeling in capitol hill. i heard a lot of frustration about what is the strategy, what is the end game here, basically, you know, republicans control both houses of congress, cutting out leadership is not the smartest thing for the president at this point in time, at least republicans will tell you that. take the daca deal, i was talking to folks in leadership that were saying that they don t understand why he took the wall off the table to begin with. the

facebook and google public utilities with regulation? different from the obama administration which wrapped arms around googles, facebooks, presented them as examples of american companies that are growing strong and dominating on those global stage, trump, i think, has been turned off a bit by the fact that leaders of the company are not particularly pleased with his administration and spoken out on a lot of issues. i don t think you can divorce the conversation from that. also taking on amazon not just for jeff bezos role owning washington post and amazon on twitter account, i think that you are seeing some of this stiming from the president s populist message in general as well. he looks at wall street and some of the big firms there and, i think, looks at tech somewhat in the same way, massive company that can get out of control and looks at his base, he can see
visits the houston, terrible devastation, a hurricane coming to florida and he had the usual partisan infighting for two or three weeks or take a deal and he took a deal and it worked and i think he thought, well, maybe we will do a little more. now the challenge will be that the goals of schumer and pelosi and their base are so radically different from trump that the margins for deals maybe smaller than people would like. i think it s perfectly reasonable. i advocated for months that they start with infrastructure because it was inherently bipartisan and i think that the presidents govern best when they carve a large block of the opposition party and have a much bigger majority than just their own partisan base. chris: julie, what are they saying, you covered the white house, how frustrated are they with republican leaders and particularly their inability to deliver on obamacare repeal and replace and how much hope do they hold given that as i said on a lot of the as speaker said, o
there was a hurricane at the border. maybe he will rush down and build a wall. let s bring in the panel. we have three of the five. dana perino, juan williams, kimberly guilfoyle. very interesting. could you have predicted this? when you look at the fact pattern and the narrative, president trump has had a difficult time with majorities in the house and senate being able to get anything done. budget, immigration. he has needed to reach across the lines and try to make some concessions and this is what a business person does. not just a pure politician, to try to work with the other side. that being said, i don t think it s inconsistent with how i know him to be politically prior to running for president. but for sure the hard-core trump supporters and their conservatives are disappointed because they think it s a step
