massachusetts. never once was the issue of his religion raised. never once did it play any part in his governance of the state. not once. the idea that people on the fringe of the republican party try and make this an issue is obscene. it s important to point out, mika, this is the fringe f. you look inside the nbc poll that came out yesterday, 66% of republican primary voters say they re totally comfortable with hills faith. only 12% say they re not comfortable with the fact that he s a mormon. this is a fringe issue and perhaps overplayed in the press. but it will impact the ut come, will it not? i don t know that it will impact the outcome. it certainly colors the primary process in that party right now. i think it makes us potentially even more despondent about our prospects. moving the the new york times, no jobs bill and no ideas. i want to queue up, if we can, alex, eric cantor s sound bite. the senate republicans went through a filibuster that led to
sara, the president says he s not going to own this. reporter: that s right, president trump said he was disappointed by this out come, but essentially said, woops, this isn t on me. this is on the senate. take a list tone what trump had to say today. we ve had a lot of victories, but we slnt had a victory in health care. we re disappointed. i am very disappointed because, again, even as a civilian, for seven years i ve been hearing about health care, and i ve been hearing about repeal and replace, and obamacare is a total disaster. some states had over 200% increase, a 200% increase in their premiums. and their deductibles are through the roof. it s an absolute disaster. and i think you ll also agree that i ve been saying for a long time, let obamacare fail and everybody is going to have to come together and fix it and come up with a new plan and a plan that s really good for the people, with much lower premiums, much lower costs, and much better protection. i ve been saying that.
