The question is will that please the president or will he kick it back and the cycle will start all over again? >> it important to keep in mind what held this process up was the republican-led house of representatives. once it becomes a democrat-controlled house of representatives, theres a much greater chance that clean c.r. passes and president trump will be forced with a decision do i sign it or not. karoun, thank you so much. the rebound up 600 points now, in after the disastrous christmas e...
