of criticism from democrats anyway or the white house kind of coming out. let me bring you in. that s the new standard. it s working well enough. say it it knows to work for the next year heading into the mid-terms. can the president pivot to anything else? he try with immigration reform. can he really or will this be it? i think this is kind of it as far as major things go. if they were going to get immigration done, this was the year to get it done. if they were going to get a big budget agreement done, this was the year to get it done. this is casting over everything right now. democrats don t think that republicans even want to alou this thing to work. there is no comedy in congress right now. this is it for now. the fact that this is such an extended roll out and an extended period of time to figure out is this working or not working? the fact that this persists for
