Less than seven months after taking office, he switches party saying the democratic legislators dont support me. i cant get anything done in washington being a democratic and he stood by donald trump in a huge rally and switched parties. its a sign of the weakness of the democrats. they cant hold their coalition together. >> dana: is it partly because they dont have a leader? president trump is the leader of the republican party now. theres infighting about that. its mild compared to the problem...

The effort for dems to retake congress in 2016. theyre wrapping me. yes or no answer, is this leadership, pelosi/schumer the leadership to do that. >> poppy, i really like you, i dont think thats a good question. >> you did that to dana bash. i know you dont like the question, but yes or no? >> yes, its a fine leadership, but what i want is the candidate thats going to be the leader of their district. thats what im looking for. thats how you recruit candidates that win a majority. i dont think i...

Communications director anthony scaramucci, who he hired while making the complaints. theyve supported obama. theyve supported clinton. theyve supported schumer. theyve supported the dnc, paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. bob mueller hasnt paid that much. that makes no sense. im wondering these arguments on the hill have, against robert mueller and the investigation hasnt really gained any traction with republicans thus far, and it seems to me that this past weekend and over the past week t...

That said during the obama administration the number of trains once every 25 minutes. now under trump once every 11 minutes. they are expecting that number to drop. these are coal trains. coming back to west virginia. i dont know the last time maxine waters visited the mountain state coal is back there. ainsley: remember during the campaign trail when hillary clinton said she was going to take down the mining community and all those miners were so mad and they voted for president trump. steve: a...

Months. >> actually congress is more bipartisan than ever. >> on policy matters, theres fierce partisanship, on constraining trump, theres more bipartisanship than ever before. the intelligence committee, and the judicial committee are locking arms and theyre bringing up comey to testify, and theyre bringing up different white house officials to have conversations about isolating the president. its mcconnell and paul ryan could shut these investigations down tomorrow if they wanted to, theyre no...

Issues especially in the tax world why arent they working to get those done and why dont they get with the republicans and see what they can do to bring people together. im counting on chuck schumer stepping up to the plate and being willing to take some good swings here and be able to help us, rather than just -- he knows that i work with him. he knows well that i have passed hundreds of bills over my senate service, and those have been bipartisan as well. it is also a number of others as well....

Of these establishment republicans talk about him, its almost like theyre talking about a new president. >> guy: a few things, hes trying to mend fences apparently with republicans and the establishment. theres a new piece out today in "the daily beast" saying that kelly is already on the phone reaching out to pelosi and schumer as well. this is a new approach, a new day for the chief of staff, what we are seeing so far, he is pretty empowered. hes keeping closer tabs on who has access to the pr...

>> harris: i can back to what you said, they dont necessarily need to work something out on this one. >> guy: if they can get 50 votes, though get it done and thats why mitch mcconnell is saying we fell short by one vote on health care, events can bank that we will be able to do it again, but i think thats a risk by schumer. frankly, he might be powerless. this is a reconciliation issue. less but it would make about deb is neutrality, its really important when you look at the scores of these thi...

Pelosi and schumer, come forward to the american people with this idea, this initiative called a better deal, thats repackaging, all of proposals. does that make sense had a huge election focused on change with a couple career repackaging clinton proposals. ask it doesnt make sense. steve: nancy pelosi doesnt want to leave her job. she thinks some day she will be speaker again and she must remain in the chair until that day. >> yeah. well, thats a problem. because if we do that if we allow the f...

Want an issue or a bill? >> two options with the individual market. cut down on regulations to have less expensive plans or bail out insurance companies. talking junk about insurance companies and the senate pivots likely to teaming with schumer and bailing out insurance companies, then what do you do? not a populist position. >> and the president keeps saying, they, they, they, making clear im not one of you. or saying im not republican or separate you from congressional republican and make you...
