to get the job done for the american people and he s seen a congress that hasn t been able to deliver repeal and replace yet and he s focused on tax reform and so as he s traveling this country, he s coming to washington and saying we ve got to get things done and i need my team to be behind me and i think in the end, they re going to come together because senator corker recognizes just as the president does, that the middle class of this country needs to see tax cuts. we need to see repeal and replace and we need to deliver on our promises we ran on as a party. senator corker also says that his words the majority of his republican senate colleagues actually share his views ain private although they don t say publicly what he does. what does that say about president trump s standing in the senate? i think the president has great standing in our party and in the senate and look at the rnc and our record fund raising. that shows the support, especially from the small dollar amount fr
just want to be precise on the reaching out to chuck schumer to fix some of the problems of the affordable care act. you re with the president on that. you think that s a good idea since repeal and replace is not going anywhere. i m for everyone working together to find relief for the american people. and we do need to repeal and replace. because we know obamacare is failing across this country. we ll see what they come with up. but obamacare has been a disaster, premiums are going up and insurers are pulling out of marketplaces. republicans have tried their best to get this done. we hope to find bipartisan support to solve this problem that s hurting millions of americans. let me get your reaction to these reports that steve bannon, of breitbart, a former top strategic adviser is now working to defeat some incumbent republican senators up for re-election. john barasso of wyoming, doug fisher of nebraska, orrin hatch
