With democrats? >>de i think if you look at it from a perspective of compromise, the chip program we passed back in september. we asked for some pay fors that most of would have thought would have been common sense, making lottery winners pay a little bit more. they chose to say lets have a clean bill. we put in there to take away or suspends the cadillac tax and medical device tax. these are the kind of things that make you wonder what their priorities are. so for those willing to vote no to ke...

Along. senate mcconnel had to talk about the process and was. the president said im not going to be pushed and held hostage to a shut down of the government. im happy to sit with you and talk about this but only once we get the government open. that has happened. the discussions will continue. >> dana: tye, listened to what sara said about the democrats position on the shut down and you can reply after. >> i think democrats realize the position they took was indefensible. they had to focus on fi...

>> senator schumer claims this deal today was much different from last week. how did the ball move forward f it did at all from friday night and this morning. >> look i think democrats realized that the position they had taken frankly was in defensible. they had to focus on, first, funding our military, protecting border patrol agents, funding vulnerable children through the chip program. these are not things they disagreed with. they agreed with everything in the cr. the president stayed firm, ...

Democratically filibuster you didnt have the majority needed to pass the cr. >> all the more reason is not this on republicans in white house the control of house and senate. >> majority got majority light on one defensibility we face. >> because of democrats -- >> you got a majority you didnt get 60 votes. >> the point do you not have your own house in order you only have 46 republicans. >> if you had nine, 10, 12 where are the democrats chris who say back home they want to work in a bipartisan...

Maybe thats why donald trump makes an offer, the democrats accept it and then his staff blow it up. maybe, maybe they are loving this. >> those two people who said it was a good thing and kind of cool are people who will never, ever, ever have to worry about paying a bill in their life so how insulting to the american people? it could be kind of a problem resolving all of this when people like that and people associated with the trump white house kind of like whats happening. the white house rel...

To take care of that early saturday morning and they wouldnt let her bring that bill to the floor. health care, the chip program, democrats tried to get that taken care of, tried to get a vote on it, republicans refused there. border security. donald trump himself came up with a deal with chuck schumer and then the deal got taken off the table when staff members ran to trump saying "no, no, no, you cant do that." daca, the same thing. trump promised to deal with daca with democrats and wants to ...

In return for a path citizenship for the dreamers. but perhaps most importantly, the president is awol. he has to leave or get out of the way. that absence of leadership is really one of the key barriers we have to compromise which were all seeking because there is bipartisan consensus behind many elements of this deal, adequate support for our defense, our troops as well as non-military needs, the c.h.i.p. program, childrens health insurance and community health centers, pensions, veterans, dis...
