the stakes couldn't be any higher. the president wants a win, he needs a win after failing on health care, and so he really wants to see taxes get done. now, of course, his strategy has been a bit different than we saw during the health care fight. the president has been out on the road really trying to sell this tax proposal to voters, the broad outlines of it, at least. and he's been working the phones with lawmakers, holding meetings here at the white house, so he's been putting the pressure on leading up to his big asia trip. of course, the nitty-gritty will come down to these next few days and weeks, and for the next chung of tha thung chunk of that, he's going to be overseas, andrea. >> and the property tax side is a huge change. that is going to be hugely controversial. also i want to talk to you and get reaction as well from kasie hunt on the hill. to jerome powell, a relatively safe choice, a republican, not an economist, a fed governor?
