republicans. well, look, i think what i ve said all along and which i think many democrats have said throughout this whole process, we keep knocking on that door and being told you re not welcome. but what we ve said is look, just promise us you re going to work by regular order. promise us you re going to go into the committees, you ll take amendments that will do a bipartisan vote to 60 when the dust settles and this isn t going to be a phony exercise that ends up with you just doing the same ram job that you ve been doing anyway and on those terms i think we re ready to go. i want to ask you about where the democratic party is going. senator schumer said the two biggest priorities for your party are health care and the economic well-being of the working family, not russia. have democrats done enough to get that message out? i saw a recent poll that said a lot of folks see the democrats as being anti-trump but they don t stand for anything. it s hard when you have a president
working with republicans. i want to play this. if republicans abandon cuts to medicaid, abandon tax breaks for wealthy, and agree to go through the regular order, the o door to bipartisanship is open right now. republicans only need to walk through it. republicans say that doesn t sound like a door to bipartisanship, having preconditions, many of which are nonstarters for republicans. what i ve said all along, and many democrats have said throughout this whole process, we keep knocking on that door and being told you re not welcome. but look, just promise that you re going to work by regular order. promise us that you ll take amendments, go into the committees and do a bipartisan vote to 60 when the dust settles and this isn t going to be a phony exercise that ends up with you doing the same ram job that you ve been doing now any way. on those terms, we re ready to go. i want to ask you about where the democratic party is going.
