bill. he is now proposed a straight up repeal vote without any clear indication for an immediate replacement of obama care. what kind of hurdles do you think he can face? is it a safe assumption that this is going to happen? it s definitely not a safe assumption. one of the problems here is that there s a numbers ga imthat they re going to have to play. one of the reasons that that vote went through in 2015 is because senators pretty much knew that it was going to be vetoed, and so they had a little bit more political wiggle room to pass the bill. that is not the case right now. remember, they re going to need two of those four senators that recently came out opposed to the bill to change their tune. are they going to be able to do that before the august recess? well, they re going to have to do a lot of convincing. only time will tell if they re going to get those two votes, but it s definitely not gaern teed. you know, we have a recent bloomberg poll that found that 35% of americ
the republicans, for seven years, promised that we could do bunch of things together that probably weren t all going to work. that we can keep everything we like, pre-existing conditions, staying on the plan until you re 25, that we could lower premiums, race coverage, and cut taxes, all of those things together, i haven t seen a plan that does all of those. they backed themselves into a corner here which is exactly what we are referring to. we need to fix obamacare and i think i get democrats to come to the table to do that now after seeing what s happened over the last six months. here are the senators on the 2015 vote on the same thing. we just simply do not have 50 senators who can agree. what we do have is about that many of us made two years ago. i am ready to make that complete repeal vote again. if you re not willing to both the same way you voted in 2015 then you need to go back home and you need to explain to republicans why you are no
sinking it. the plan b being voted to repeal now and replace much later is being driven by the white house, and my sense is the white house leaders on capitol hill aren t necessarily on the same page. i think there s a lot of skepticism on capitol hill about whether or not this repeal vote can actually get passed. there s a lot of concern that republicans are going to pay for this in the midterms. the finger pointing has begun and the shock is starting to set in. kristen welker, thank you. what we want to do is go to kasie hunt and talk about what s going on on capitol hill. on the senate side, but also, kasie if they get to just repeal and they get the two-year window, doesn t that doom them with the midterm election? reporter: i think as is always the case with mitch mcconnell, there s a strategy. one challenge for him in trying
moving forward, what happens next. we can all sit here and dwell on what went wrong. what they should have and could have done. obviously it is what it is. it s already done. what can we do in the future what s it going to look like in the future. repeal and replace. ainsley: will we get brand new bill. in 96 it took three times to get that president clinton finally signed it which we took the medicaid out. perhaps it will come back no time soon. brian: not now. humpty dump at this brian: how do you feel about takes vote out. repeal vote. brian: takes it out and says two years we place it with something? i think that s personally a disaster. ainsley: isn t that what they did? brian: going to vote to see if they get the repeal part out. here s the problem it s not a full repeal. they dual it filibuster proof. they only want to do it with 50 votes. you are spending the spending as speculation of the obamacare. you are leaving all obamacare rules in place because you need 60 v
would you now no one would expect that nothing would happen after that. of course, there s going to be replace activity that fills those next two years and whether that s dealing with the medicaid expansion, dealing with the subsidies or dealing with the taxes, all of those things would be on the table and perhaps with take little bit now clearer focus, because the way forward has been determined by the repeal vote, maybe people would be willing to talk as the president i think has correctly pointed out, now is the time to come to the table and get it done. congressman, good to talk to you as always, thank you for your very thorough answers to this. michael burgess is a former doctor always a doctor from texas. president trump claims that 45,000 mining jobs have been added during his time in office. for fact sake, let s say those numbers are off big league. i m not even
