well, the details aren t clear yet. i was speaking with lawmakers this week, so it s very possible there are things that could come out of this deal that there are people on the right who actually would be in support of, and so to think that they are automatically opposed to it, even before something has hit the table, would be a bit unfair. but i do think most republican lawmakers are very skeptical, because to david s point, they know what pelosi wants, they know what schumer wants, and it wasn t what the base said they want. i think the question at this point becomes what does trump ultimately want and who is he listening to most? all right, you were going to chime in there, david, go ahead. well, one of the worst kept secrets in town is how really unbelievably useless congressional republicans have been in this discussion. dry wall is more productive than these guys. the house of representatives just got back from a seven-week vacation, they worked a three-day work week this ....

A different kind of politician, but at some point, you do expect him to enfingage in the diploma niceties that are, there s a reason they exist. because when you re president, your words can actually endanger the country, right? so is it good that he s unpredictable? in certain limited circumstances, yes. but overall, no. very simple answer. thank you, panel. thank you, ed. thank you david, thank you mark, and thank you, ryan, i appreciate it. coming up, trump s low approval ratings as he prepares to take office. is that a problem for him in that s next. ....
