I wish you would change this part. they have to make a decision to come on board for the 80% they like or stand on the sidelines and say i'm going to oppose it and glad it passes. there's some democratic members that don't like any of it. a good handful of folks, 5, 10, 15 that like a majority of the bill. >> neil: and they might be encouraged in the republican vote looks like it's going for it to come on, right? >> correct. >> neil: i didn't want to get your thoughts on the general flynn news today. is the president in trouble? >> no, i don't think the president is in trouble on this. this is...

One of the fascinating elements of this for me was how democrats aren't supporting this. if you go back to the 2001 bush tax cuts, ten senate democrats voted for that bill, including dianne feinstein, max baucus famously. i would be surprised if one senate democrat voted for this bill. we went on a report why this is the case, and basically this is the most unpopular you can make a giant tax cut. this is remarkable. tax cut bills usually poll fairly well but they've managed to make this incredibly unpopular. trump thinks he can sell it, talking about how he gets hurt by this. when any sober an...
