Here. the democrats have a role in determining that legislative process as well and thats now going to happen before our eyes. >> simone, how do you explain what you are seeing unfold where twice now in the space of a week or two the president has worked with, it appears, the democrats, and he had the dinner last night with shuchuck schumer and nancy pelosi and did not invite paul ryan or mitch mcconnell? >> i see high-level maneuvering on the part of pelosi and schumer, and donald trump has no ...

They are both playing the same commercial the same time. this could go on a couple directions, it could go a compromise and ends in result. or it could go a lot like arnold schwarzenegger in california where this is a guy who was elected to clean up the mess in sacramento and the mess cleaned him up. he couldnt change the political culture. >> he thought he could. >> the gridlock, the budgetary crisis, they couldnt pass anything because they need two-thirds for a budget. what you could end up ha...

Should get credit. but sarah huckabee sanders is pushing back. >> i think maybe pelosi and schumer are trying to roll the president by putting out this statement of what their version of the deal is. >> makes too much sense? >> the fact is even having this discussion, you have to wonder how this is going to sit with not just his base but the people working for him. steve miller, a hardcore on immigration, attorney general sessions, a hardcore on immigration. the idea that their president is goin...

Back to you. >> all right. morgan radford live for us in florida. thank you last night after meeting with president trump, hill democrats announced a tentative deal resolving the sat us the of dreamers. the children of undocumented children represented by daca. through thick and thin they expressed their outrage. republican congressman of iowa tweeted if the story is correct, trump base is blown up, destroyed, irrepairable. no promise is credible. the front page of breitbart news declares, white...

If they exited in two legislative vehicles. that gave a lot of democrats in that room a lot of optimism saying they really felt theyd be able to reach a deal with the president. he goes in, sits down, has this chinese food dinner with fulosy and schumer. and the two sides degree those issues were discussed, but there seems to be a last minute disagreement exactly how that wall funding would be handledmal. it seems the white house was frustrated over the framing of that statement. >> so, jarm aay...

>> she got like a tesla out of it. thats the rom com parallel. >> no question that donald trumps number one ideology is himself. and he was -- >> but is it revenge? >> no. >> really? >> this isnt payback? >> no, i care about me. >> ryan and mcconnell would support this. hes done them a favor. he has taken this on himself with schumer and pelosi. >> thats my point. why not have them come over for chinese food? >> its good they didnt come over for chinese food. they dont want their finger prints o...

That is quick sand or worse. the president could make them mad. >> the president may learn that pelosi and schumer are under a lot of pressure from the left as well. even though it looks like the democrats are aligned, there are lots of folks in the immigration debate who do not want to see the other half of the deal. the increased enforcement and the idea that you have what trump called a massive new amount of border security or interior enforcement where you have the ice agents going all over ...

Schumer over his own attorney general sessions? >> hes obviously sided with them already on the question of the debt. i have a hard time believing that chuck schumer and nancy pelosi issued a statement that wasnt very close to the truth. i just dont think it was in their interest to put out a statement that mischaracter rised the statement. i think its likely that this statement that they put out is true. now, if david axelrod has a good point about whether in fact the president wants to have di...

Said morning news said you made a deal on daca. have your staff brief me. that prompted this response from the president this morning. >> what do you say to those who say your promises can be believed? what do you say to senator charles grassley who said he under cut what hes doing in the judiciary kpheultty by talking to pelosi and schumer? >> were doing it in conjunction with the republicans. we have a very good relationship with a lot of people. lot of people want this to happen. well see if ...

Any minority party cant do that. if you look back, both paul ryan and mcconnell expressed misgivings about the daca decision when it was announced by jeff sessions, a week to ten days ago. alise was making a point. it was hart humorous and part honest. there was something going on that this daca distracted from. but i think the president is brilliant on this front. we have been critical of him, rightly so, when hes been wrong. i think steve is right. he awakened to the reality that for his presi...
