this is not no one expected a businessman to understnd the complicated ins and outs. what message was t president trying to send, telling his supporters to watch her and her lead editorial was to say house speaker paul ryan needs to step down. is that what the president wanted people to hear? i have spent more time in the last week with the president of the united states than i thought i would, than four years. i ve never seen him blame paul ryan. why did he want people to watch her show? the people to blame were the people who would not vote yes and they would vote no and when sen to lee is here. the folks who voted no are the folks to blame. he is want blaming paul ryan at all? there is no subtle campaign to undermine paul ryan? i ve been in the oval office with the president and with the speaker more in the last couple
saucers that ignore the senate and senate rules and reconciliation rules and they own the loss. nobody else. tom? the fact t matter is the entire republican side of the house for seveyears has been screaming about repealing obamacare. so they come up with a plan that they do in the middle of the night and they shove it in front of the house and they say take it or leave it. the president buys into that with a creative circular firing squad and the command was ready, fire, aim and we re all involved in politics, but out in america today people with serious or even moderate health problems are wondering, where do i go from here? it is so broken in washington. it s not going to get anything done. we did some voter interviews over the last couple of days. there was one that really stood out to me, and i ll play it here from a woman in wichita. trump voter. listen to this. you cannot slam something so incredibly layered and complex together in that many days. i don t care how many p
pin some blame on democrats. the losers are nancy pelosi and chuck schumer because now they own obamacare. mr. trump also implied he might eventually have to work with democrats to fix the law. it is unlikely to happen any time soon, eager to talk about anything else, the president spent his weekly address talking not about health care, not about tax reform, not about infrastructure, but about exploring space. this week in the company of astronauts i was honored to sign the nasa transition authoration act right into law. the blame game is in full swing. the president tweeted this just a few minutes ago. democrats are smiling in d.c., and the freedom caucus with the help of club for growth and heritage have saved planned parenthood and o-care while some republicans are blaming the white house and others are pointing at speaker ryan and still others like the president is pinning the fault on the freedom caucus.
perhaps the biggest flaw and the biggest mistake. the biggest knock you hear about paul ryan that it rings true, tom is here is this incredible policy wonk who hates politics and he took a job that was all politics. he knew he wasn t as suited for it as others wanted it to be. the president put his arms around it, but i think he s been wounded in this quite honestly and nobody else wants that job and quite surprised, however, and i hesitate to use the phrase, naivety. doesn t aaron rodgers always start slow, though? isn t he always start slow in the. best line i ve heard week is a day without a tweet is a very good day. it salso very hard to no matter h good of a politician you are to sell the idea of taking 24 million people s healthcare away. that is not sellable. in ryan s defense, i don t think he s been saying, gosh, it s harder. i think he s trying to tell his
going to get attacks. this is the race for presidency. everything is fair and love and war and a republican primary is war. it will be interesting to see on the debate stage tomorrow night how trump and cruz deal with each other. in the past we ve seen them back off when they are on stage face-to-fa face-to-face. he told trump told erin burnet he won t bring up the issue of cruz citizenship and eligibility. he probably won t be trump bringing it up. he tends to like, to fight off the debate stage in rallies or on twitter but certainly i imagine it will come up with those moderators. it is on the minds of people at this point even though 85% of likely caucus goers in iowa said it isn t of concern, it doesn t bother them, this issue of cruzs citizen ship and eligibility for the presidency. 15% of iowa caucus goers said it
