Democrats won and the second thing is the midterm of 74 was approaching. nixon was -- nixon, unlike trump, reached for a big base of support all along. trump has been playing a different game than every president weve ever seen. >> highlyly focused. thank you. mark murray, thank you as much. and as a candidate mr. trump seemed at times obsessed with the loyalty of his supporters. here are just a few examples. >> you know what else they say about my people? the polls, they say i have the most loy...

Election for the last 118 years in that first midterm except for three. so i think republicans increasingly on this are damned if they do, damned if they dont. but it seems increasingly difficult to see how they put together the necessary votes to do this. and by the way, if you can get the necessary votes, do you really want to take a vote like this on an issue as big as this and pass it with 51 votes, or 50 votes with the tiebreaker by the vice president perhaps? >> final question. are republi...

>> politics is sometimes the art of choosing between two bad options. but republicans stay in. whats the result? they reorganized, the sixth of the nations economy with no idea who it affects and how much it costs, and the support of the american people at 13%. thats a good thing as you move into a midterm election where the incumbent presidents party has lost seats, and every single election for the last 118 years in that first midterm except for three. so i think republicans increasingly on th...

On this when the premise is not foundationally set in evidence and the intelligence community is saying that russia meddled in our election, yet this administration has come up with no set plan to secure the elections for the midterm or 2020. ben jealouss, great to have you here, former naacp president. candidate for governor for maryland. im advancing your titles. ben, thanks so much. >> appreciate it, thomas. take a look at this, its the tweet that everybodys talking about today. the preside...

The president tweeted out yesterday that if this version of repeal and replace doesnt work out lets work on repeal first. mcconnell is not so cool with the idea. what do you think? >> mcconnell floated that idea in january and it was some of the more house freedom caucus and more conservative members who shot that down. now they seem to be going back to that. its water under the bridge now. they need to replace this. simply repealing it and then waiting to see what happens for months and months ...

Accomplishments. back with the panel now. scott, obviously somebody who wants to see the presidents agenda move forward and move forward quickly, how much -- we were talking during the break, hes two accomplishments away from being able to run well in midterms and help folks out. >> no question. this they go ahead and get a deal on health care and something done on taxes and/or infrastructure plus the supreme court confirmation thats a great set of stuff to run on for the midterm. in washington,...
