A disappointing day for us. doing big things is hard. all of us, all of us, myself included, we will need time to reflect on how we got to this moment, what we could have done to do it better. >> the president, meanwhile, blamed the bills failure on -- wait for it -- democrats who wouldnt join him in destroying obamacare. >> we had no democrat support. we had no votes from the democrats. they werent going to give us a single vote so its a very difficult thing to do. ive been saying for the last ...

Letters. we have to go after the insurance companies because these private profit-making insurance companies are going to do everything in their power to do what trump said is going to happen. theyre going to try to explode or implode obamacare. >> so heres a question about the political lesson because you and i spoke -- i think it was the day after the election and there was a great feeling of -- people were stunned i think in the broad center left people were upset and confused and angry and o...

Texas that his vote for this bill will result in 61,900 people from his congressional district losing health coverage and care. >> democrat frank pallone was taking names on the floor of the house today and you cant argue with the strategy of reminding republicans how many of their constituents would have been affected by this bill. but just stopping ryan and trump from blowing up obamacare is not enough for my next guest, im guessing. senator bernie sanders from the great state of vermont joins...

Theyre getting that they were lied to. they were held out -- a lot of promises were held out to them that arent going to come through and they saw just how transparent the republicans and trump were with this bill. this was a tax cut bill for the rich not a health care bill. this was an attempt now to try and kill obamacare in actually more cruel ways because theyre going to try to nip and tuck and cut at hhs. theyre going do everything they can to stymie and get in the way of the good that obam...

>> well, immediately the good news is that the millions of people who are beneficiaries of obamacare are not going to be thrown out on the curb tonight or tomorrow night or any time soon so thats great news. everybody should feel good about that. but this is not the time for the democrats to gloat or throw some kind of party. theyre really good at throwing early parties like "yay, we won. wait a minute, we didnt?" this is the time we have to now double down because when -- please understand that...

That pay for the health care coverage so i think it was a huge victory. im very excited about it, on the other hand, i dont think we can let our guard down. theres other battles ahead. >> im having a hard time figuring out which of the two scenarios is correct. i cant tell if the republican leadership were essentially fooling their voters all this time when they were voting time after time to repeal obamacare, 60 times and they cant do it once when they have control, or whether they fooled thems...
