Health care is complicated. no question about that. for the obama white house, some odd days to get it done. i think that it is in donald trumps best interest to move a little bit to the left and get the tuesday group. heres the thing, if he goes to war, the freedom caucus, he is going to have problems at the united states senate with the health care bill. >> the heat is on these guys. they have gotten in the way. the president is making it very clear that he is going to fight them. >> i was try...

The green light to move forward with the nuclear option in trying to block the filibuster by changing the senate rules, which would be dramatic as chris jansing was just laying out. and a lot of this goes back to the point you were making, ali, the fact that the president needs a win right now. he wants a win, particularly when you have all of the mounting questions about russias meddling in the u.s. election that has ensnared his former national security adviser as well as the fact that his pla...

He is the executive editor of axios. we were talking earlier about how rand paul tweeted that he had been golfing with the president and they had made some progress on a discussion about health care. you would think they might have had that discussion prior to coming out with the bill. do you think that health care is coming back? >> well, theyre trying to bring it back. republicans are desperately trying to bandage over that wound. it is making it hard for republican leaders to do anything else...

For her to live down there. i think the american people really want to focus on getting things done, right. everyone can scream politics. we talk about the fact that theyre golfing. republicans were so critical of michelle obama and barack obama for playing golf. lets trim the fat here. lets talk about stuff that actually matters. its those complaints that make americans tune out. they get apathetic about politics, they dont vote and they have this animosity towards washington instead of saying ...
