Democrats made slight gains in both changes in novembers election. But they are still outnumbered, charlie, by a few seats in the senate. And by nearly 50 seats in the house. Thanks, nancy. Republican strategist and cbs news contributor frank luntz is also on capitol hill. Frank, good to have you. Thank you. So, tell me what you think republicans are about in terms of reining in the Ethics Committee . What i dont understand is why the first thing they would do would in any way undermine the perception of accountability which is the number one value that American People want to see in congress. They should be talking about health care. They should be talking about taxes. Having a discussion that we are right now on ethics is not good for anybody. The reason why is the poison that exists here. The feeling that members of congress can be accused of anything and they dont have due process. What does that say about the power of the speaker . I dont think this is an issue of paul ryan versus the congress. I think its an issue of how best to pursue an agenda that the public expects you to pursue and not get sidetracked with issues such as this. So youve spoken, frank, with members of both parties. Whats the mood on both sides . Its questioning. No one knows what to do. On the republican side, are they going to come together and complete the agenda that they ran on . They made an awful lot of promises that they have to deliver. And on the democratic side, the question is whether to fight, compromise, or do some of both. Turning to democrats, what are they going to could in terms of trying to either approve or stop nominees of the president elect . On the senate side, theyre going to have a number of conversations in the last 24 that are willing to work with President Trump, not just on the nominee, but on other issues. But theyre nervous that theyre going to be attacked by the base. Theyre going to be attacked by Bernie Sanders and his supporters. So if i were add vievising them tell them to pick one or two of these trump nominees to focus on. And dont just simply oppose. Because the American People wont appreciate it. When youre elected president , you get to have your cabinet, but if there are one or two people who arent qualified or capable or have conflicts of interest, hold them accountable. Not the entire cabinet of nominees. Is that likely to be Rex Tillerson . Ive heard him. Ive heard others. Unions want to take on the secretary of labor nominee. Environmentalists want to take on the epa nominee. Different people want to take on different individuals. In the end, charlie, i will pass. But i think that youre going to see three or four that are going to have avery rough time over the next four to six weeks. Frank, lets talk about obamacare for a second. The president elect has promised to repeal obamacare. But data from the wall street journal this morning indicates that a lot of people that supported donald trump also depend on obamacare. Doesnt that create problems for him . The challenge here, and this is the number one issue where the republicans voted for donald trump to repeal it. And independents want parts of it to remain. And the two part that is matter the most are children being able to stay on their parents plan unless 26. And preexisting conditions. The public wants those two components. So the question is, if you repeal it or, or keep those two, have you done what conservative republicans do by changing the Health Care Law. Frank, new year, new ar is this the new you . And for norah, i even wore a very plain boring jacket. I dont want boring. I just want matching. I love it. Thank you. Great to see you. You got it. We dont ask for much.
