deal? that's a big problem for this president. one bit of frustration i picked up in biden world this evening was that, again, for all his imploring and this was one of the few times he sort of said trust me, it's on me, and tried to make it about doing something for him than for those two senators where there's really distrust. the frustration is he never explicitly said the words i need your vote, i'm begging you for my vote. someone put it to me this evening, that's politics 101. there was some questions why for that whole show he didn't take that final extra step that potentially could have made a difference. >> he certainly had a number of votes asked of him in his many decades on the other side as a member of the u.s. senate. eugene, listening to ashley's reporting, no one needs to remind you presidential power is a currency. you spend it when you think there's going to be a return.
