president didn t say mccain s name though he had multiple opportunity, the name being on the bill, does it say something to you? yeah, i think it shows that he cannot rise above his petty differences with john mccain, who as we all know is dying. and this is somebody who is at the end of his life, a very storied career, including in the republican party very important person to the republican party. which is why this is named after him. it s something he worked on. and so to not give him credit and not be able to acknowledge that, i think it just looks extremely petty and small. you somebody who deserves some recognition, especially at the end of his life. michael, should the president have thanked mccain? i don t know. this is politics ain t beanbag. and senator mccain hasn t been good to the president. he s insulted the president over and over and over again. this is politics can get petty, and it s gotten really personal between these two men. and i appreciate the fact tha
differences with john mccain, who as we all know is dying. and this is somebody who is at the end of his life, a very storied career, including in the republican party very important person to the republican party. which is why this is named after him. it s something he worked on. and so to not give him credit and not be able to acknowledge that, i think it just looks extremely petty and small. you somebody who deserves some recognition, especially at the end of his life. michael, should the president have thanked mccain? i don t know. this is politics ain t beanbag. and senator mccain hasn t been good to the president. he s insulted the president over and over and over again. this is politics can get petty, and it s gotten really personal between these two men. and i appreciate the fact that the president name checked him today. the bill an important bill and he put some work into it. i wish him and his family luck. not everybody in the united states thinks very highly of john
even though mccain hasn t said how he would vote yet, there is a sense he would vote against his friend. this is a hard deadline, and if they couldn t muster the 50 votes before, they re certainly not going to be able to do the 60 that would be required next time. and there is a sense among republicans if they go home without actually doing what they promised to do for seven years that there will they will pay a price electorally and i think that is also a pretty significant pressure point that gives this bill a little bit of an extra boost. now, the co-sponsor with lindsey graham is bill castro, who went on the bill kimmel show after the last heart-wrenching appeal. he wanted everyone to vote for
nia, i want to bring you in. some republicans don t want this so-called skinny repeal. they re warning house republicans not to pass the bill that they might vote for. what exactly is the strategy on health care tonight? how are they working this thing? well, you know, i think they re working it by getting folks on the house side, paul ryan, to essentially say the goal is to get it to conference then they would hash it out. the goal isn t to ultimately make the skinny repeal bill the actual law of the land. so you re going to have these republican senators, ideally, if you re republican, to get to 50. we don t know yet if murkowski s going to vote for it. she s playing coy on this. hasn t revealed what she s going to do. c ca capitoe as well. mccain hasn t said what he s going it do. lindsey graham who held the press conference today with john mccain. you know, really calling out the skinny bill. but he s come out and said he s going to vote for it. so we just don t know. i mean, ult
hero. right now he said some very bad things about a lot of people. senator mccain says mr. trump owes service members and vets an apology. particularly those pows. mccain s friend and former service member lindsey graham running for president called his opponent his word a jackass. mr. trump said senator mccain hasn t done right by vets. gloria borger joins us. now, ryan i know everyone talks how donald trump is playing by his own rules, not beholden to establishment playbook. aren t there third rails in politics universal third rails. one of them may be or is it questioning the heroism of a guy like john mccain? yeah without a doubt. that is the issue that prompted all of this republican rivals to sort of finally step forward and condemn him. i do think it is fair to ask, you know why?
