no. but health care tax reform is not a cut and dry thing. there are elements that people do not like even when they decide to take one for the team. it takes a little bit of the loyalty factor away from some of these members. it is just a much more they have a decision to make. it may not have been such an open decision for a lot of the members. it depends. if trump is able to sit on his hands to get some of these things through, it is is more advantageous to make sure to count the votes he s got without having to worry about the sand under his feet changing. i m picturing the president sitting on his hands and not tweeting. that he wants not going to happen. john avalon, who is not going to be at this lunch, steve bannon. given so many things about what he said about mitch mcconnell over the weekend, we know he s been talking to the president. he said this is war on mitch mcconnell here. so how much do you think that
fight fight gn own party basically the president has to sell this, he can t have mnuchin sell it what happened in health care talking about too many other things other than this plan this plan is going to work for americans he has to go out convince americans of that. big question too will republicans learn from the cbo numbers that they fought over during health care daep, congressional budget office makes certain assumptions when health care tax reform they are often wrong republicans let cbo dine health care debate big question will they make the same mistake when it comes to tax reform, or will they look to other outfits like tax foundation a group of treasure department saying what is affects that have on the economy, people behavior, if they look to cbo, democrats will define debate cbo means well they will probably lose the argument.
things commingled with the neonazis and kkk members. right, i mean what s really strike something how different he was from last night. he was reading from a teleprompter talking about afghanistan. today he was back to normal ad-libbing but yes it was striking he took out the pieces of paper. he wanted to speak directly about every single thing he said. but he did leave out both sides. he also left out the name of the woman who was killed. he eventually brought her up. but it was way into that. pan it wasn t just to talk about ewe you how his thoughts and prayer with with the family he just mentioned here. there were a lot of things strike about it. it was striking all the things he didn t talk about. all the policy issues he was ostensibly going there to talk about immigration. he barely mentioned that health care tax reform barely got a mention so he could do 30 minutes on the media. robert costa i m told he cranked the one hour mark on
when he is ready, we will let you know. how is that? thank you. see you tomorrow in iowa. that was press secretary jean spicer wrapping up the daily press briefing. it is the first by the way in eight days. hello everyone, i melissa francis. we are pushing on health care tax reform and addressing tensions in syria. as well as north korea. he had a couple of topics as well. asking about sean spicer s future in the white house. he is a mere debate, he talked about there were several different positions in the communications department that needs to be filled, and he will do basically whatever the president asked. another big question was about how often we are seeing those press conferences. as i mentioned, we have not seen one in eight days. he said this is just one avenue, where the press is employed about what is going on. we are working here all the time. we are answering emails. we are doing one-on-one interviews. we have skype interviews. we we do everything we can in
