The oval office and surprised them. they thought this deal was done to go their way. then the president with schumer and nancy pelosi pulled the rug out from under the republican leadership. the people in president trumps orbit, now that bannon is gone, the chief of staff reince priebus is gone, you look at the pictures here. some even trump allies they call them globalists, democrats, they call it the manhattan republican party. you have only steven miller, the former jeff sessions aide still i...

Get 30 democratic senators and 30 republicans on a tax reform bill. does the president believe he can get 30 democratic senators and still stick to his principles on tax reform? >> americans hope he can. i would set the sights higher and that you have every member of the senate come together to help pass massive tax cuts and bring tax reform to this country i. >> two questions, if i can. the presidents dinner with schumer and pelosi. in the past, the president called chuck schumer a clown and no...

Guests following up on their meeting with president trump last week which resulted in such favorable headlines that the president was clearly delighted. nbc white house correspondent kristen welker joining me now. this is carrying bipartisanship to a new level, dining with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi and not with the republican leaders? >> reporter: its incredibly significant, andrea, and i think it underscores the extent to which the president feels burned by the process of trying to overhau...

Actual what was in the four corners of the deal, which now mitch mcconnell is suggesting wasnt as significant as perhaps trump and schumer and pelosi let on, but rather that trump was willing to reach across the aisle after not having a whole lot of luck working with just republicans to pass health care. >> and jit, there is a conceptual flaw we saw in the meeting tonight. and that is the democrats, if the notion that you could reach over across the aisle and make a deal with the democrats, the ...
