from japan. we are people who adore or you re from china or you re from kenya or you re from scotland or sweden. in america we never lose faith. this is me speaking. that s the same man over the course of three days this week. with us we have senior political analysts mark hallparen, donny deutsche, shannon petty piece, and mark lebovich, catty k, and robert costa. mark, it s dizzying. what s your take away from the past three days? i think one of the things we often think about is how to explain to future generations what happened during the trump
has been. but we know that moving beyond the failures of obama care is the right thing to do. we put a lot of hard work already into this. we ve had important successes like we saw with the vote to proceed yesterday. we have to keep up the work now so we can get this done. in just a few hours we ll get a better idea of what the republicans can cobble together their caucus and come to aconsensus on health care. chuck schumer says his party will have no part of it, even though some democrats came armed with hundreds of amendments. welcome back to morning joe. it s thursday, july 27th. joe has the morning off. with us we have senior political analyst for nbc news and mnbc mark hallparen. richard haas, national political reporter for nbc news, carol lee, sam st ein, kasie hunt, and
