killing it. what does this mean for the party that has spent eight years plus talking about repeal and replace? jonathan kelsey, perry remain with us. we have more news handed to us. this came out concurrent with our going on the air tonight. it s a leak, a readout to politico of a dinner for republicans tonight at the white house. quick attendance list for fans of the senate, alexander blunt corn rn dans lankford, shelby and shun. trump said the party would look like dopes if they can t pass the bill. quote if the republicans have the house senate and presidency and can t pass this health care bill they are going to look weak said trump. the piece in politics o goes on to say trump had no idea defectens were coming tonight. according to another white house official with knowledge of the meeting. why would we have a dinner like that if we knew people were
actually going to happen. it s just a completely different calculus. if you are schumer you go out and remind people of that every chance you get. well put and perry here is another example of the fact that these townhall meetings we were seeing were as good and as hard as data. that was something happening. this happened a couple of years back in a different way. but the the old song lyrics there was something happening. there was and the townhalls are supported like like data. they support the data showing this is one of the most unpopular bills in modern history. we saw 12%, 16%. and i should add here a lot of things the republican party has trouble with are donald trump s faults. this is not the case. the republics on the hill wrote the bill had 7 years come up with an agreement on this kind of issue. and you have seen the last few months even in the house there was very little basic agreement about what should be in the obamacare repeal.
and there is great reporting in the new york times times that says he had a fight in the white house with his national security advisers. trump wanted to pull out of the iran nuclear deal basically scrap it and h.r. mcmaster and rex tillerson were able to convince him to stay with it. that must be compounding frustration, his sense he is not getting things done he vowed to do. and the overall image of impotence that is shrouding the white house tonight. jonathan, you cover the white house. you wake up on a monday morning expecting that white house to want very much to turn the page on the donny junior meeting last week which could not have dominated the news more instead they open a new book with the president s tweet again, saying, most people would have taken that meeting. that s right. this white house from day one has been unable to get ahead of this story. it has been a constant drip, drip, drip of bad news. it has overshadowed good news
trying to to say that some time people aren t listening. jonathan i wanted to read you some more numbers. there are more numbers you ve seen them as well. this is the washington post absent news poll. 70% says the president has acted unpresidential. 68% don t view him as a positive role model. 67% disapprove of his twitter use. and 57% can be sunled up as the more they hear the less they like him. sooner or later these are going to start to be dangerous numbers for a presidency. i was just thinking now that during the primary campaign then president trump would start every rally recrating the poll nulls i don t think he is quoting these poll numbers any time soon. these are troubling. as mentioned before the white house settled on base play. there has been next to no outreach across the aisle it s attack tweets or interviews against democrats.
moran and mike lee delivered a major below to mitch mcconnell and to the president announcing they would vote no on the current senate health care bill, killing it. what does this mean for the party that has spent eight years plus talking about repeal and replace? jonathan kelsey, perry remain with us. we have more news handed to us. this came out concurrent with our going on the air tonight. it s a leak, a readout to politico of a dinner for republicans tonight at the white house. quick attendance list for fans of the senate, alexander blunt corn rn dans lankford, shelby and shun. trump said the party would look like dopes if they can t pass the bill. quote if the republicans have the house senate and presidency and can t pass this health care bill they are going to look weak said trump. the piece in politics o goes on to say trump had no idea defectens were coming tonight. according to another white house official with knowledge of the
