Have these people leave the country. when you deal with trump, that really miupsets the democratic activist base that does not want pelosi or schumer to deal with a president they despise. this is a natural reaction when you buddy up with trump. its not unexpected. >> turn to health care quick. i know gop has revived a push to repeal with a new bill by senators graham and cassidy. how are democrats responding to new legislation and can we expect this bill to pass. or is there staunch opposition ...

Bill graham cassidy. they need one more vote. theres a question whether democrats will rally whole base to call congress like last time and really pump up the activist base of the democratic party to stop this health care attempt. >> let me ask you about a testimony on capitol hill on tuesday. learned last night. michael cohen, one of the presidents personal advisers, is going to be testifying on tuesday. whats playbook watching in the russian investigation with that. >> watching the "new york t...
