Mohyeldin and louis burgdorf. President trump is on a collision course with his own party over the Massive Health care overhaul. The bill comes up today and is set for a vote tomorrow, but for the moment, many members of the party say he simply doesnt have the numbers he needs to pass it. Last night at a Party Fundraiser the president renewed his pitch. That legislative effort begins with thursdays crucial vote and it really is a crucial vote for the Republican Party and for the people of our country. Youll finally repeal and replace the disaster known as obamacare. Thats what it is, a disaster. And nbc news head count shows 27 republican no votes right now. And senator rand paul suggests the number is actually at 35. In the last few days the bill has been sweetened to pull in more conservative senators and centrist senators.

At the capitol of the United States which is the center of so much attention. Ive got to say in my most quarter of century involved in american politics, i cant remember outside of the beginning of a war or an election or even impeachment.
