i m disappointed. we could ve had it. i m a little surprised, to be honest with you. we really had it. it was pretty much there within grasp. eric: joining us now with reaction, kentucky senator rand paul, who is a mmclose ally of the house freedm caucus. senator, do you think the president was indirectly referring to you specifically in this remarks? no, but but i will say, i still have a greatu deal of optimism that we will come to a repeal off obamacare. nothing has united republicans more than our desire to repeal obamacare. i think it led to our electoral success taking over the house in 2010, the senate in 2014, white house in 2016. we are not so much united on thn replacement part, but i still think it can be worked out. i am hoping that both sides will say, we will continue to talk. i think that president trump has been very open too many of already is.
