A few have not. about on basically medicare for all, which is we are going to eliminate 150 peoples healthcare and provide healthcare for people that come over the border. that is untenable position for the general election. it is reckless as it relates to and you dont have to take the position to win the primary and you are basically literally hindering your sufficiently for the general election. brian: right. rahm emanuel famously is the one that told barack obama dont do obamacare. we have mu...

Soul of the democratic party was on full display with the dispute of what policy positions of wod get them elected, were good for the g country. my cats tonight were arguing about taking away health insurance from union workers in michigan. as a colleague of mine pointed out, they also advocated to take away and to get rid of fossil fuel cars in detroit. so if that is what they are going to run on, there is no way they are going to get back michigan or wisconsin or pennsylvania from donald trump...

And im no fawn of this group, but i have to work with them, at the end of the day, they control a lot more of the martials on this table than you think they do. >> if mcconnell isnt going to walk away and i agree we you 100% on that, michael, could he be forced out? because this is what we heard from lindsey graham. >> if we dont cut taxes and dont repeal and replace obamacare, then were going to lose akroz the board in the house in 2018 and my colleagues run ng primaries in 2018 will probably g...

Million kids. senator orrin hatch, myself, a big group of people on both sides of the aisle are saying lets not miss the fact that the funding runs out at the end of this week. instead what senate republicans are trying to do, as my 9-year-old say is trod out a big bunch of whoppers to try to sell this bill. >> the democrats didnt do obamacare in a bipartisan way. that seems to be what senator john mccains issue. he doesnt think it should be rushed through with just republicans and cutting all d...

For republicans in congress and certainly for donald trump. the american people, you voted for a border wall. you voted for a major increase in defense spending a leanerot government bureaucracy just like with health care. i am running out of patience with republicans in the u.s. congress. republicans in congress need to stop surrendering on key issues and finally start delivering for once like repealing, replacing o obamacare getting the job done and getting over the finish line. here with reac...

Republicans facing a ton of pressure from constituents at town halls. >> it would be a disaster for the congressional republicans if they go home to another recess without passing a repeal and replacement of o obamacare considering that what they passed just now before we went on air, was this trillion dollar continuing resolution. which was basically the democratic bill. democratic votes that passed through the house. you hear rush limbaugh this week saying why are we electing republican govern...

Successful first 100 days? >> you know, if you think about the signature achievements of some of the more iconic presidents, they come after the 100 days. ronald reagans tax cut, 206th day. barack obamas obamacare, 368th day. the stellar performance of john f. county, that came in the 206th day. i think the 100-day standard is not helpful at all. one thing id add is that roosevelt himself didnt think in terms of 100 days. he was ready to ask congress to leave after the fifth day, after he passed...
