think that that is what this process has been about. she having none of it. all right. i will bring in david axelrod. i wanted to get your reaction to lindsay gram. he predicts at least two democrats would vote for this bill. could you imagine a scenario or is that wishful thinking in your view? the democrats held firm against the previous bills. this is not more desirable than the other bills. it would be hard to understand how democrats would shift their position based on a bill that most of the analysts and disease groups, medical groups say is worse in some ways than the previous bills. look, i m not there and lindsay
