obamacare itself you ll recall, they worked on that thing from the moment obama won election in 2008 and not signed until march of 2010. i think if republicans think they ll get it done in the next few weeks entirely that s crazy. bill: my feeling is within a year. you can t run for reelection and maintain the sizeable majority you have unless you get healthcare done repeal and replace and tax reform done. yes or no on those points? most important thing is a bill that actually works. republicans right now are obsessed with passing something. they will be judged based on whether this things protect people with pre-existing conditions. bill: that s called addition. john mccormick, thanks for being here today. 28 past the hour now. shannon: brand-new show of force by russia president putin sending huge bomber jets to the sea of japan amid escalating tensions of north korea. new details on that just ahead. bill: president donald trump handling syria differently from
after seven years we get this crap bill where they can t get enough votes to 216, donald trump had to come in at the last minute try to save it, ultimately there were too many faxes and too much disagreement. the person s got to be looking in the mirror this morning i think is speaker ryan. well, cory lewandowski was on the show this morning and said, look, president trump if it s one person that can fix it, it s him. the president did not come to washington as someone who is a creature of washington, and he s changing washington d.c. from the inside now, which is something that people don t understand and what the president said about the health care legislation was he could have written the absolute perfect bill and not one democrat was going to support that bill. and what we know is that it took barack obama until march of 2010 to get obamacare through congress. it s now seven years, just after seven years that that bill has been in place. this president is someone who wants to
and anything else he wants to do. do you agree with that? well, of course the president needs a coalition. he needs to work with his friends and leagues in washington to make sure that he is moving the legislation that he has promised on the campaign trail. but have you to remember something. the president did not come to washington as someone who is a creature of washington. and he is changing washington, d.c. from the inside now. which is something that people don t understand and what the president said about the healthcare legislation was he could have written the sloot salute perfect bill and not one democrat was going to support that bill. what we know is that it took barack obama until march of 2010 to get obamacare through congress. now just after seven years that that bill has been in place. this president is someone who wants to get things done. in the first 60 days he has already tried to get a repeal and replace done. look, it s going to happen. he has made a pledge on th
operation red map. i want to make clear, nothing nefarious, nothing illegal. the democrats were asleep at the switch or they could have done likewise. oh, absolutely. the republicans laid out what their plan was going to be in an op-ed piece in wall street journal in march of 2010 written by karl rove. lays out there are 113 legislative seats in 17 states that if the republicans can take them over, they would have the ability to draw the lines for 190 of the 435 congressional seats. that s a good advantage when you only need 218 to have a majority. the democratic party lacked both the strategic imagination to come up with this idea on their own. but, also, they could not play defense against it when the republicans laid it out on the op-ed page of the largest newspaper in the country. chris jankowski not a name
federal level and allow states to use a single set of tools they could use, and simple things like this, and we are not far apart, and obamacare is a filler and everybody agreed on that, and i can assure you this is not working in kentucky, it s an be a skwrebgt failure. plan introduced in july of 2009, and cbo released its score three months later in october. we are less than a week into this and expecting it to be released tomorrow. house approved it in november. senate in december, and the president signed it in march of 2010. do you agree with senator cotton that this is moving too quickly? number one, i appreciate the sense of urgency. it s not as if we didn t know this wasn t coming. the reality is we have been talking about this for years and years and years.
