With him, a raucous rally in ohio last night. Like the old days of the campaign. This was trump v. The republican establishment. The crowd was clearly on his side. Meanwhile today, in the swamp, the senate votes on a straight Obamacare Repeal bill. The replacement plan went down to defeat. None of this appears to have any effect on investors. Same old story. Politics is a mess but stocks keep going up. Profits are so strong that the dow is on track to hit yet another record high today. Are we getting used to this . A chaotic presidency. A donothing congress, and wall street on a tear . Thats the story of the morning, and varney co. Is about to begin. [cheers] hes a young one, hes going back home to mommy. Boy, is he in trouble. Hes in trouble. [laughter] hes in trouble. And ill bet his mommy voted for us, right . [cheers] shall we call that an interesting incident last night as the president addressed a very big crowd of raucous supporters as we said it was indeed, a raucous rally. Mor
