Donald trumps first 100 days in office, much to the relief of many americans who have insurance thanks to the affordable care act. round one of the fail came last month after both freedom caucus conservatives and suburban republicans tanked the president and paul ryans plan after a mere 18 days. now the supposedly new and improved version of trump care has failed, too. two swings, two misses. despite republican control of the house, the votes just arent there. sabrina is still with me. i want to...

Necessarily numbers that tell us. >> i think youre right. he basically is so upset at the media. he could have easily wanted to have this rally. its in harrisburg, pennsylvania. he could have done it in the morning and been here at night for the correspondents dinner and said this is a time to recognize that at the end of the day there is a place for the president to be overseen by the media and have a conversation. thats what this is about. recognizing we arent taking ourselves seriously. the r...

Dynamic because one of the questions at the 100 day marks is can republicans govern. republican speaker, majority lead, republican president. but you still have what we saw in the campaign. the trump voters, some of them new republicans, but the trump voters who sent donald trump here, they dislike is a polite word for how they feel about the republican congressional leadership. mitch mcconnell gets a higher grade because he got gorsuch through. that gives trump a foil that a lot of trump voters...

A primary, particularly in deep red districts. but at the same time these are national numbers that youre looking at for paul ryan, for mitch mcconnell. these people are still popular in their districts. voters voted for donald trump, but they didnt vote for the republican congress. they voted for their republican congressman, their republican senator. a lot of those guys have higher approval ratings back home. >> donald trump trying to make nice. he campaigned about paul ryan, against washingto...

But the signal is that he will not get involved in the day to day give and take between president trump. he doesnt want to set himself up as a foil for president trump. but again, his supporters,s advocates, those who back president obama, they really want to hear from him. democrats are feeling somewhat desperate you might say. demoralized by the results of the election, they see a hero in president obama and the question is whether he will play that big role, that big opposition leader role th...

Yesterday that shes confident democrats will retake the house. shes built that on this kansas race where it was closer than thought and this georgia race, that its going to a run-off in june. how is that affecting this money raise something. >> republicans know that democrats will pull out all the stops to try to retake the house and try to retake the senate. the republican majority is so slip in the map. even though the map is tilted in favor of the gop, democrats will still pour every resource...

Supposed to pick on paul ryan anymore, who can he possibly have as his foil because he doesnt know what the dimensions of the fight are if he doesnt have someone to square off against. i would say too its still early days. you know, republicans would always make fun of obama for still blaming the bush administration for iraq and the state of the economy years after he took office. >> he had a right to do that. he inherited, crappola. the greatest recession in history. >> its also true that an in...

>> its the same thing with hillary too. the grievance list that trump has and the grudges that he holds, i mean he makes the clintons look magnanimous. he holds grudge after grudge. >> its this bitch, bitch. and its all this whining about the job he took. he knew obama was the last president. he knew he was coming in after obama, who was actually quite successful. now he blames it all on the conditions of the job. >> its two things. one, nothing is ever trumps fault, ever. number two, it is hard...

The electoral framework of the country is shifting after the first 100 days of donald trump, this is the kind of place we should see it. i know on television screens we see the bluest of blue cities with the protests and resistance, but this is electorally the kind of place that if the democrats are able to use trump as a foil this is the kind of place. >> and let me give you a little history here because this is the same district that newt gingrich represented for 20 years, and also mitt romney...

Both chambers, in charge of the executive branch, and it all fell apart really quickly. actually without our intervention as democrats. we didnt have the votes to intervene. they didnt approach us to intervene, and yet it all collapsed within because they were lying for the last seven years. the truth is that what donal trump and many other republicans said for many, many election cycles is you could get rid of the bad stuff and keep all the good stuff. but the truth is that to the extent that t...
