This back into a political debate that he can sort of spin as a win. and the white house has long sort of seen the downfall of obamacare as an easier thing to message on than tweaking with the bill and repealing and replacing. just with the tweets this morning you hear that same sort of sentiment coming from the white house. lets just see what happens with obamacare and go from there. >> the vice president. were expecting to see him. you see that little box on your screen. in the next couple min...

Left to go to emergency rooms for healthcare. we can also talk about persons who may be in nursing homes, who will not be able to continue their care because of the cuts, the deep cuts to medicaid. we can also talk about those with preexisting conditions whose deductibles will make it cost prohibitive for them to continue in their care. this is devastating. from the oldest of us in our society to the youngest of us in our society, we are being left high and dry with respect to healthcare. >> and...

This is a new poll shows that new voters prefer obama care over the gop health care bill by 50 - 24% margin. meanwhile, the number two republican his job is to rip up the votes from this and hes expressing optimism on how the american people will see the new bill. >> this is going to be an open process were anybody on the democratic or republican side can offer an amendment and it will get a vote. theres no way anyone can block it or prevented from doing so. there is uncertainty about what the f...

Same ramifications of the repeal and replace process that has not gone well, or they can work with democrats. i think theres a good chance that they want to show their voters and just americans at large that theyve done something and that theyve fixed obama care to some extent, and so i would place it as a better than even chance that they make some modest tweaks to make the obama care insurance markets a little more stable, and you would have to work with democrats on that. >> part of the modes...

Even after the president sort of got off message this morning. maybe this is a message that he wants, thats if we can pull up this tweet. he says "everyone here is talking about why jump at us to refuse to give the dnc server to the fbi and the cia. this graceful." assume you heard the people talking about that and thought it was a big topic. podesta response today with a lot of tweaking. he is on a cross-country road trip with his wife. he heard about this, told us about vermont. he probably kn...

Certain camps in the democratic party that want to go for single payer. >> i think that the theres an acceptance that the affordable care act is not a perfect law. there are some changes that can and should be made to cover more people and to reduce premiums and to make sure in rural areas like the area where i grew up, people have access to good affordable health care, again, thats not whats on the table in congress right now. what youve seen from my colleagues on the other side of the al is a ...

Regardless, regardless, when something is obviously wrong, you got to figure out what the positive change is. the problem with decency, the defaulting to saying things are fake when we simply dont like them, attacking truth, attacking institutions, is more than the norm in politics. the question is, whos going to make the better change. well talk about that this morning. and -- and lest it be a real distraction, we have issues about what happens with the travel ban, about what happens with remem...

About where the votes are. >> the bill needs a lot more than tweaking or tinkering around the edges. in order to distract news media attention from his failing health care bill in the senate, which today completely gave up on trying to find a passable version of the bill and simply left town on recess -- in order to distract from all of that, president trump fired off some tweets this morning that he knew would do the trick. he also knew his tweets would get in the way of coverage of the new e...

The middle east. and i dont want a president thats thin skinned to criticism. i want a president that can brush them both off. both will come at him day and in day out. you want someone who can remain calm when nobody else is. here we are in the south korean president at the white house. this will be the single most important national security set of decisions hes going to have to make, and literally, millions -- im not exaggerating here. millions of lives in that part of the world possibly in t...

To what the house is. >> from my perspective, the bill needs a lot more than tweaking or tinkering around the edges. it needs some major overhauls so that they no longer would have 22 million people losing their insurance, sweeping cuts and the medicaid program which helps our most vulnerable citizens. >> so fundamentally, ive been trying to get to the bottom of this. a lot of democrats dont want to work with republicans because they say theyre obsessed with repealing obamacare. but fundamentall...
