markets. the other thing that has occurred is that the republican party, the majority party in the , two weeks ago would've said that this is our route to repeal obamacare and achieve all these things. they have achieved the opposite of what they sought to achieve. their popularity ratings -- i don't say this for artisan gain, just observation -- this approve of how democrats handle the crisis, too. >> no, that's actually right. nobody won in this thing. but the party that instigated this, starting with victories -- with ted cruz's 21-hour, they have borne the brunt of this. three months from now we will be here again. >> that is the key. do you think that this committee that has been set up to look at these long-range issues of funding the u.s. government can report back by mid-december? >> well, that really depends on

the achievement of something that is often achieved here in the last four years, which is democrats getting comfortable with some hopefully equitable reforms to our entitlement programs and republicans getting comfortable with the idea that there may need to be more revenue generated out of the tax code to get us there. if the answer to those questions is yes, there is a possibility, but i can't tell you i'm optimistic. s, thankessman jim hime you so much for joining us. please there is a way forward now -- at least there is a way forward now, george. >> with me is american political commentator and former head of charlieans abroad wilson. good to have you on again. is right -- what did the republicans achieved after three weeks of this? >> well, everybody didn't achieve much. >> but it was republicans -- they went out to fight -- >> strategically they messed up. uz weresmen lee and cr
