now s the time for a better moment of proof. ask your doctor about victoza®. howie: jimmy kimmel has gotten a whole lot of publicity which included a swipe for president trump and appeal for saving obamacare. not all the coverage has been favorable which has given him more comedic. i would like to apologize for saying that children in america should have health care, it was insensitive. [laughter] it was offensive and i hope
credit for saving obamacare and figging it, would democrats do that deal? well, you know, inside a lot of pressure on democrats not to actually work with this administration. and certainly, i think that they don t necessarily want to hand him any legislative achievements. but they have always maintained, even under obama, when there was a whole for example, fight over the government shutdown that they are open to 23iging the existing law. to jamil s point. polling shows that a majority of americans, including independents and increasingly more republicans believe that congress and the white house should just work with the existing law. it is too late the repeal and replace. i think that the challenge is that this is a president disasters we were talking about the lowlights in the program who has shown zero interest in the process of governing. he seems to think he can bully republicans into pushing through this plan that would have candidate catastrophic effects on him. you had r
people who have been crowding these town halls, berating the congressmen saying we want to actually keep our obamacare because we didn t realize maybe before the election just how badly it would affect us. and so it s really interesting to see a bill put forth that is actual crueller than the first one and actual continues to skew things in favor of young people who actually don t really support donald trump, don t love donald trump, and actually continue to undermine older people who have actually supported him. but i mean, do you think that democrats and i ll ask you this, sabrina. do you think there s any chance that democrats would put this out of its misery and actually agree to go to the white house and say, look, if you ll do a save obamacare, you ll get credit for saving obamacare and fixing it, would democrats do that deal? well, you know, inside a lot there s a lot of pressure on democrats not to work with this legislation.
following a spectacular collapse. their last effort. all of this as president trump approaches the 100-day mark of his administration. our white house correspondent athena jones is joining us with the latest. athena, candidate trump promised he would do a lot in his first 100 days, but with little accomplished legislatively so far, president trump now calls the 100-day mark, and i m quoting him now, a ridiculous standard. what s the latest. reporter: hi, bomb, that s right. the president s perspective has clearly shifted quite a bit in the last six months. white house press secretary sean spicer insisted they are not trying to rush anything through just because that 100-day mark is around the corner, but white house officials also often talk about how this president is in the promise-keeping business, and with this late announcement on tax reform and the renewed push to repeal and replace obamacare it s pretty clear that folks around here are looking to put some big wins on the boa
it was the most conventional traditional thing the campaign did in the entirety of the campaign. that s what candidates normally do, is they say here s the list of things we re going to do. it was very untrumpian during the cape. now that s coming back to bite him a little bit. having said that, you know, not to give him a pass at all, but we all those of us who have covered many of these contracts during campaigns also know that this is a campaign document and it is aspirational though maybe not realistic. not legally binding. you take a look at some of the legislation in that contract with america, police departmental class tax relief, simplification act. that hasn t come forward yet. replace and replace obamacare, they tried it and the illegal immigration act, clean up consideration in washington. all sounded great and so far none of that legislation has been passed through the house and senate and signed by the president. i ve been saying by month,
