President trump. But she is not expected to endorse trump today. Her folks who are familiar with what shes going to say, say she is going to go ahead and say that trump needs to earn the support of those voters. She has repeatedly said throughout the entire course of her campaign that the Republican Party needs to be a party of addition, and she doesnt believe that trump has been approaching his campaign. That way. She has talked about the fact that she wants to give her for voters an option thats why she stayed on the ballot through Super Tuesday. But this was a decision that she made last night as her campaign was monitoring the results that were coming in. Jeff zeleny spoke with a source, an aide on the campaign, who said that it was when they were monitoring those results that they determined that she wasnt going to hit the benchmarks that they had said that she wasnt going to do well enough to keep her Campaign Alive. Now, we should note that nikki haley did win two states, dc and
Business news live from singapore. 20 years since hong kongs hand over to china is its economy better or worse off . And it has been two decades since the Asian Financial crisis we look at the philippines and why it did better than its regional neighbours in riding out the turmoil. Good morning, asia. Hello, world. Thank you forjoining me for this friday edition of Asia Business report. Im rico hizon. As we told you on newsday this weekend marks 20 years since hong kong saw the end of British Colonial will. Chris patten was the last governor of hong kong, which is one of the major financial hubs of asia. My of the major financial hubs of asia. My colleague asked him if he is concerned about the future of the economy under chinas growing influence. My biggest worry about hong kong wasnt that the tanks would roll in from the north but that hong kong would simply become the richest city in china. I dont think that is going to happen so long as hong kong can hold onto the rule of law, inde
Months, they cant have a replacement. The democrats are very happy in some ways they are going to get rid of obamacare. This was the one big answer paul politically. This was one big answer, a new solution that was going to be revolutionary and change things for the better. Didnt work. They are happy. We had it for six years. Theyre happy to dump it off. Im more optimistic, there are a lot of pitfalls, we can go through them, if we have momentum, get one part down on the replace part, it creates the conditions for further things down the road. So i think that the main thing is that they need to show momentum. They have the repeal and show good things being done. Because our goal is not, the problem is, obamacare is like, closing down a nuclear plant. There is all this waste. You cant turn it off and walk away. You have to be careful with that waste because it can kill you in the meantime. So i think they just have to have the momentum. Paul the argument is, that you hear, and i hear is
He is a heck no on trump care. Im a heck no on this. I think theyve got problems with the vote. Ive personally spoken to 29 of my conservative colleagues who are no on this as of today and were not even counting the moderate republicans who are a no. I think theyve got a lot of arm twisting to do between now and thursday if theyre going to pass this bill in the house. Does he sound scared to you . Because congressman massey was in the room today when donald trump came to the House Of Representatives to urge republicans to vote for the bill. Here is how congressman massey describes tough guy donald trump. Threatening and pushing around all those republicans who oppose the bill. He was very charming. There was some lighthearted jabs at his opponents in the room but it was all in good fun. Lighthearted jabs. That ought to do it. Thats what tough guy trump is delivering to republican opponents of his bill. Thomas massey doesnt claim to
be a tough guy the way donald trump does, but he certa
Want and i will vote yet. Dean heller is the only republican standing for reelection in a state that went for hillary clinton. And he has a fellow republican who is the governor who doesnt like this bill. Hes in a tougher place. Im not exactly sure what Mitch Mcconnell could come up with that would move mr. Heller into the yes column. His rhetoric has been pretty emphatic. If you have got rand paul who is the least likely of the 10 at the conservative end and dean heller at the more moderate end, if heller thinks its too frugal, the more you push it one way and make it more generous, you will lose the frugal folks. Arthel lets take a listen. This is still a work in progress. Though the leader of the United States senate is very good at establishing coalitions to see that legislation passes. But its still a lot of work to be done to determine whether it gets to 51 votes. Maria what is your gut . Do you think it happens this week . My gut tells me this is very difficult. I hate to say th
