senate, and the white house, the american people gave us clear instruction instructions. it s time to get busy, get to work, and to get the job done. the house bill ends the obamacare nightmare. these are the conservative solutions the american people asked us as a group to deliver. wolf, that s a key message not just from the white house but from leaders on capitol hill as well. these are the promises you made in 2010, in 2014 and in 2016. but the problems remain the same and it s the two opposite pulls of the republican house conference the moderates who are very concerned about coverage issues, very concerned about americans in their 50s and 60s and their ability to afford health care coverage and the conservatives who say this does not go far enough.
votes. there s 10 or 20 moderates and folks in tough races up in the northeast corridor that have coverage issues. so no. so it s a problem right now. what does it mean to the trump presidency if the president loses his first big vote in the house of representatives? it would be huge, enormous. i was thinking about listening to trump make this case of not being able to persuade republicans, and i thought back to ronald reagan when he got his legislation through in the first year, and he had to apply pressure but that was because he had to convince democrats, not republicans. what you ve got here is a weak president and an unpopular bill. they re having tough sledding. to see a republican president with a republican congress 60 days into his presidency have this amount of difficulty is extraordinary. of course it s an unprecedented
