voters in here. see what they had to say a little earlier. this time, i voted for john ossoff. there s a little message being sent by me and others. no question about that. i also do think there needs to be a check on donald trump. so there you have one voter i talked to who said, look, i want toe a check on donald ump. a lot of the voters i heard from today, they do cast this as a referendum on the president himself, on donald trump. several republicans i talked to said, you know, god bless donald trump. i will say, this isn t necessarily trump country. trump didn t win here by as much as tom price did, the congressman who was re-elected in 2016 by a 20-point margin. trump won by 1.5 points. at the same time, it does tell you potentially gives you a sense of the energy that the democrats have. that s what it is going to take if they are actually going to try to make a dent in the republican house majority in 2018. ali? encourage folks to make their voices heard and to mak ....
handle. what happened, in my opinion, is unacceptable. people have been talking about repeal and replace for seven years. long before i ever decided to be doing what i m doing. seven years they ve been talking repeal and replace and it didn t happen. not only didn t happen, it was a surprise. it was a horrible surprise. it was very unfair to the republican party and very unfair to the people of this country. i was not impressed. now, can he do good? i think so. i think we can do well on tax, cuts, reform. i think we ll do well on infrastructure and things will happen with respect to health care. i think things will happen maybe outside of necessarily needing congress. there s nithings i can do as president that will have a huge impact on health care. have you spoken to the governor of guam, and what did you tell him? i have not. i feel they will be very safe. if anything happens to guam, there s going to be big, big trouble in north korea. have you ordered any change in ....
fewer people will actually pay tax at that rate. now, let me tell you what else they want to do. they want to nearly double the standard deduction. $12,000 for individuals. $24,000 for married couples. that s the justification for raising the lowest tax rate from 10% to 12% that a whole lot of people aren t actually going to pay for. the plan also calls for the elimination of the so-called marriage penalty. raising the tax credit for a child under 17 by a yet to be specified amount. and look for a new $500 tax credit for non-child dependents. that replaces the idea that you can actually otherwise claim non-child dependents. in addition, the plan calls for repealing the estate tax. what a lot of republicans call the death tax. this benefits generally speaking the wealthy. it also repeals the alternative minimum tax. at lot of you might say i pay the alternative minimum tax. here s the problem. it was actually meant to be something for the wealthy. wasn t indexed to inflation so a< ....
could still see the potential for damage with flash flooding as well. the yellow track irma, the red track, maria. maria will make a right-hand turn, at least we think so. we always wait for that turn, guys. right now we hope it s a gutter ball between bermuda and the u.s. 48. with all of the attention on maria, we seem to have forgotten for a second about hurricane jose. is that doing anything right now? yes, let me get to it. it s here on this graphic. hurricane jose, it will eventually die out in the atlantic, but right now a category 1, category 2, somewhere in there, and then dying to a category nothing in about 48 hours, but will take a long time. this is sunday. it s almost five days away now and it s still sitting in the same place making waves and wind. the waves and the rip currents across the northeast are tremendous today. stay out of the water, please. that s all you need to do. chad meyers, we will take your advance. thank you. puerto rico is bracing for a ....
here. and the real problem is donald trump is not the closer. he can t call these people up and say, hey, i ve done so much for you, you need to vote for this for me. this is not going to sway senate republicans. darlene, a lot of the opposition in the bill isn t something that the sweeteners will necessarily be able to fix. a lit more money here or there to alaska or maine. the critique is more fundamental from susan collins. so how does senator graham and cassidy get over the hurdle? that s a good question. you mentioned susan collins and rand paul who is always for repeal and his opposition to this bill now is based on the fact that it does not entirely repeal obamacare. so i don t know how you flip him on that basis. and can president trump close the deal? that remains to be seen. this is one of several headlines moving forward throughout the day here. what is happening on the health with health, happening on the he s a spokesman for the league. and i asked him s ....
