Thats part of the job, a guy who takes incoming fire and allows your caucus to get things done. The two men appearing sidebyside today was politically smart or at least acknowledgement of political reality. Their goals in most cases are the same and desperately need each other to get any of them done. On tax reform, they cannot have the same problems they had on health care.

Beyond those who have been so outspoken to push back on that. Will we see other senators come out today and take a flake or corkerlike position on that . Well find out. But right now i doubt it. A standing ovation. I want to bring my panel in. Robert costa, National Political reporter for the Washington Post and bret stephens, an oped columnist for the New York Times and megan murphy, the editor of Bloomberg Business week. Brett, i want to start with you. One trump critic said the ice is beginning to crack. What were seeing with bob corker, with jeff flake, youre going to see more republicans follow suit. Do you think thats the case . Follow suit in denouncing the president . Yes. Or in renouncing their political ambitions. Fair point. This is the key thing.
