Said he would be trumps wing man and people are misreading the districts and that seat -- the president won it by 20 points. but you shouldnt look at it as a plus 20 trump district. it could be a minus 20 hillary district. people voted with the president with reservations and expect the congressman, even if they support the president on some issues, to serve as a check from time to time to stop him from his worst impulses and that is a mistake that the candidate made there, by fully embracing th...

Spending and the other things that influenced the election. it is something thats held onto for dear life. i think its distorted coverage. i think it has enraged the people who see things more clearly than that. on and on it goes.oe you see it particularly in the character assassination of devin nunes, chairman of the house intelligence committee, whose had to put up with unlivable assault on him. they continue to this day, that hes the guy whos at fault when you know that on the democratic side...

American political system. theyve allowed a reality tv star to turn washington into a circus act and when asked about omarosa comments at the briefing today and he actually said this -- >> omarosa was fired three times on the apprentice and this is the fourth time weve let her go. she had limited contact with the president while here. she has no contact now. >> folks, nobody should feel good about this. even if you are a trump supporter, there is no way to get anything done and no way the presid...

Didnt know about the change. why is he supporting the bill, he said deficits were the reason he was voting no in the first place. >> the other big winner is president trump. building down on wall street $17.4 million. former chairman of the council of advisers. lets talk about bob corker, how can he vote for a bill when it not only clearly benefits him. fine, didnt know about, but now he does. it adds to the deficit, which is why he couldnt support it. >> no. i talked to corker two days before h...

Dark today because john mccain came out and said he couldnt support it. he said it should be something both parties agree on ideally. he released a statement explaining his decision saying in part i cannot in good conscious vote for graham/cassidy proposeel. i believe we could do better working together, republicans and democrats and have not really tried. nor could i support it without knowing how much it will cost, how it will affect insurance premiums and how many people will be helped or hur...

But distract so i think youre seeing republicans start to move away from him. i mean, look, one of the things that i dont think has been reported in great detail over the last couple of days is that these business councils disbanded, yes, because you had these ceos deciding that they couldnt support donald trump after the comments that he made, but they probably also made some kind of calculation that some of the things president trump has promised, like tax reform, like infrastructure, are not ...

Has had for some of the things that rod wheeler has said. on the other hand, rod wheeler strongly feels and has material strongly supporting the idea that he did not want to be saying publicly a lot of these things that were cut against what he knew he couldnt support. >> i want to play a little bit of rod wheeler when he was on sean hannity making the case about seth rich. take a listen. >> what did you discover in terms of the contacts with wikileaks? >> right. well thats an excellent question...

>> i think rod wheeler decided to go along with this. he had to make a conscious decision in the beginning that he was comfortable with this fox figure, this clear trump supporter being the benefactor there. i do think rod wheeler did not fully accept or appears from his public statements to have not been fully comfortable with the conclusion of metropolitan police that it was clearly a botched armed robbery or the assertions by democrats and by the rich family that theres no links. on the other...

So joining me right now, cnn international diplomatic editor nic robertson, so boy, this is complicated, isnt it? how potentially damaging is this to the relationship between the u.s. and the uk? >> it is potentially damaging and there are two reasons. one is that its a simple political reason. this reflects badly on teresa may who invested little capital. the first leader to come and visit donald trump at the white house, the united states and britain have a special relationship. shes traded on...

Clearly the reaction to this bill has been very harsh and critical. there havent been many clear opponents of it, proponents of it aside from leadership and the white house. with that said, you know, im sure you remember during 2009 and 2010 how many liberal democrats said they couldnt support anything that didnt have a public option or various other measures and things got done. so ultimately, its going to come down to are republicans so dead set on doing something that doing nothing isnt an op...
