Americans have recognized, is that the republican party is in shambles. i mean they cant get anything done. they cannot govern. i think its going to be hard for him. all of these deals being made and talked about, theyre great to talk about but at some point they have to go through congress. article 1 is a son of a gun. i mean, so its got to get through the house and senate and paul ryan and mitch mcconnell sitting there, so its great to have the press conference and say hey, weve got the struct...

Among their own base. the issue, party leaders nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are working with president trump on a deal for daca. thats the obama era program set to expire soon which attacks people from deportation nearly 800,000 of them, so-called dreamers who came here illegally as children . a democrat in michigan says she things her party members should be judged by what they do about daca and when it comes to close he and schumer working with the president, she says she does not trust the ...

Road. i dont know if that works. i trust chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. well see. >> what seemed to be a canned did moment on the senate floor, he had a straightforward explanation for why trump may be working with him. take a listen. >> he likes us. he likes me anyway. what he said is exactly that. heres what i told him. i said mr. president youre much better off if you can sometimes step right and sometimes step left. if you have to step in one direction, youre boxed. he gets that. its going ...

Details of the policy because the first goal in all of this is self aggrandizement. i think he got intoxicated last week with the debt ceiling talks because he finally got good press around the notion that this is a white house that can push some kind of policy out the door but i think he was mistaken in his assessment of that because it was a policy that mitch mcconnell and paul ryan had to get on board with. i dont think theyre going to get on board with him on daca and certainly not on d.r.e....

Schumer is as well. we are a ways away from awe deal despite ohio this is being described. paul ryan is absolutely right. it is at least moving the conversation forward and turning the welcome wheels at least a bit. it is not great for members of the presidents cabinet like jeff sessions who had been the champion of ending daca, describing it as unconstitutional. i dont think he wants to see a version of the d.r.e.a.m. act passed. i do think for all the criticism he president receives, a lot of ...

Only there and will be hard. if you are a democrat and vote to fund the wall, your vote primaries you and voting to fund the racist border wall, you are done and there is no chance coming with a bill and quit hanging debt ceiling. christmas eve is the only way it is happening. >> what do you think from the democrat perspective? >> they got a good deal working with the president and wants to work with them and dont know if you saw this, the chuck schumer is on the floor talking and get picked up ...

Versions you get from people around trump. one is a master strategy which i dont think it is. the other is that this is a sort of quick reaction to frustration. i think he likes surprising people. this is the thing about him they think is complicated to understand in part because it sounds weird, but he always does have a plan in his mind about what he is doing. it may not make sense to anyone else, but he genuinely has some map. its not a long map that doesnt drive you far down the road, but in...

He said they talk more in non washington terms he understands. according to people familiar with their meetings and, tim obrien, i think we know what we have got going on there. chuck schumer knows how to play this guy. >> he does. and the mystery here is that trump needs mcconnell and ryan ultimately much more than he needs pelosi and schumer but because he deals at this very shallow, superficial level of can i that you can to you or do you look like a boy scout, he run runs into serious proble...

And president trump who we pointed out are new york guys, they kind of get along together. mitch mcconnell is different in permit from trump and schumer. well see what comes out of that. if chuck schumer and nancy pelosi can go out and campaign next summer and say, look, we secured a path to citizenship for d.r.e.a.m.ers, theres not a dime in the fiscal budget for trumps border wall, look how awesome this is, trump came to us and the narrative theyre kind of pedaling to reporters on capitol hill...

And even paul ryan said theyre not going -- hes not going to send anything to the floor that the president doesnt support. and its a curious situation because you have the freedom caucus folks who i thought would be going nuts about this criticizing ryan and mcconnell for not being leaders. and kind of tacitly saying at least the presidents doing something. >> uh-huh. >> so i think this is an example of -- well, potentially two things or both. one, president trump saying, you know what, youre no...
