reasons, one it displays donald trump s general level of sort of policy expertise. and number two, most americans still now in 2016 don t know what obamacare is, couldn t tell you what it is, or who it affects. it s become this kind of culture war issue or symbolic thing. can you put a creche in the public square? you know, and if you called it trumpcare, it would probably poll better or call it like powellcare, it s the social with president obama that drove down the approvals. obviously for some people the premiums are going up, it will be a hardship, but much more than the exchanges. the guarantees on coverage and parents plans. you re saying the bill itself, the law itself. you can stay on till you re 26 there s a whole lot of laws about pushing the cost down and innovation in medicare and medicaid delivery and health systems and integrated care and
it s costing jobs within your business itself. specifically how? obamacare, i must be honest with you, because it s so bad for the people and they can t afford it. i m at trump international doral in miami and we don t even use obamacare. we don t want it. joining me now political reporter for the new york times and msnbc contributor. the perfect moment to me for two reasons, one it displays donald trump s general level of sort of policy expertise. and number two, most americans still now in 2016 don t know what obamacare is, couldn t tell you what it is, or who it affects. it s become this kind of culture war issue or symbolic thing. can you put a creche in the public square? you know, and if you called it trumpcare, it would probably poll better or call it like powellcare, it s the social with
tired of the filibusters that permits things to be filibustered, you know, 60 votes are required even to get something to the floor to be debated. they don t even have to the thing about the filibuster is you don t have to go and actually filibuster. i mean, that s the issue. it s not mr. smith goes to washington where you are reading the phone book, and it s really an endurance challenge. it s the threat of the filibuster, and the other thing is steve made me think of olympia snow. i mean, this is someone who would have been re-elected with 75% of the vote. and decided she didn t want to be there. policy expertise, which is very deep. when president obama was in hawaii and he was flying back the other night, he brought back with him the newly appointed successor to dan inoye on air for one back with him. barack obama walked back in the back of the plane and basically told the new senator spend two hours with jeff binghamton and learn what you can because we
