Forward. i join senator chumer and other democrats in saying we need to take a fresh approach. i like the idea that senator john tester of montana was floating of a bipartisan commission that has 30 takes to figure out exactly what we need to do to strengthen and sustain the affordable care act -- >> i want to ask you, i hear you and think it sounds great and the idea is really good. im talking to a lot of your colleagues who say unless they take repeal obamacare off the table, democrats wont pa...

To republican governors. and i sense a real interest in reflects what i here coming back from around the country. folks want us to work together and find common ground. as it turns out, theres quite a bit we can find common ground on. we can agree with president trump, for example, when he said lets provide better care for less money, cover everybody. unfortunately what the republicans offered is worse care for more money and didnt cover everybody. i think the piece that you read from the former...

Democrats. two, i dont point the finger at chuck schumer. i quote an article in which chuck schumer reveals himself as a person who decided not to cooperate at all even with a good faith effort such as the patient freedom act. of course its better that its bipartisan. but theres no -- that article this morning from schumers own words suggests that that will not occur. if i have a frustration here, my frustration is that this should not be a republican plan, it should not be a democrat plan. it s...

Projections to stop this effort. >> i dont think it will make it easier for them to put the brakes on. there are $300 billion in savings after we reduce mandate taxes by $700 billion. so thats a pretty good deal, too. i think this will encourage competition. >> a few moments ago lindsey graham called the republican bill better than obamacare but he warned against taking some of the savings and trying to buy votes. the old cornhusker kickback democrats needed to pass obamacare. >> shannon: what a...

Its been like that for a long time. but the level of hostility is an example of the health care bill you are up 49 will be great if the democrats and republicans could get together, wrap their arms around it and come up with something that everybodys happy with. its so easy, but we wont get one democrat though. not one. the greatest bill ever proposed in mankind we wouldnt get a vote. and thats a terrible thing. they are famous resist. ive never heard of anything like this. >> how frustrating a ...

Awhile. as of now, theres nothing there. even a lot of conservative health experts are worried there could be huge premium increases for people. >> benjy sore lynn, great article. read it like the article from yesterday. bring in democratic strategist morris reed. havent seen you in a while. where you been. we will talk about that in the commercial. democrats have been vocal in disapproval of this bill. what are they actually doing to stop it from passing? what is the strategy here? >> i dont ...

Statement. i dont see that leading it. but other people are leading. dont forget i saw schumer criticizing the bill a couple of weeks ago, and he had no idea what was in the bill. he was saying this bill is this and its that. he had no idea. in fact, the republican senators didnt know because it wasnt released. very few people knew. so he had criticizing a bill that he had no idea whats in the bill. thats called the resistance. thats a terrible word. think of it. their theme is resist. their the...

Brought out the poster with the remarks that the house bill was too mean and schumer dubbed the senate proposal meern meaner. so do democrats think that they came stall the bill? >> seems like they are counting on it, but as laura said, the republicans normally lose two votes. they have already lost five. so something has to change in the next week. but? this also reflects what we saw in the house earlier with the first version which was unsuccessful because of the same forces. conservatives arg...

Framing? >> absolutely. and you know, it occurred as we were watching this, as wonderful a tactician as mitch mcconnell is, maybe not the best communicator. you know, historically when you have a piece of legislation that comes out, is born out of negotiations, even in your own party, you have a press conference, and you lay down the markers. this is what it is, and this is why its good. >> talking points -- >> and you have talking points. that hasnt happened. theres a big vacuum. and democrats ...
