to reserveht comment rig but to the -- to my democratic collgue's comment, i don't necessarily think it's bachelor style but i think it's really the challenge of split of partisan votes to actually get someone confirmed the days and we saw a lot g of challenges worsuch and then a number of trump appointees ear on,o i thin thely president's being a hinkingbit decisive right nowanf o k conservativeno w candidates do we want that's going to set the tone for next t you dhion't thinkou you'll see a crsingle democratic s lines jo montana, thet peoe likete president holding a rally inow montana rig for tester's opponent, you have clairmccasmc.

does thatt a lst iea joe manchis that put him in play? >> it might put him in play but you have to remember if au're going to run as democratic senator you got to win votes from the democratic base. you want to get css overs, you want to get independents but you also have to hold yr se and the democratic base is outraged. they know that this is a us years what mitchack tpltwo mcconnell did with merrick garland and barack obama's appointee in his final year and democrats don't w their democratic officeders back up here, they don't wanthe to relent and i think the pressure is going to b very tight. i think this is going toe tm test for020. >> brett kavanaugh leading 2 this lasoantdates that we have been hearing about reports t will likely however, thesident hasay. been very hd on the affordable care act and brett

kavanaugh writing that opiniuphe essentially. is that something that may have some sort oom compre potentially that maybe both parties can agree on that pe single payer would we the solution. ave to how that is t the end of day. the obamacare wasri w complicatd fashion it's going to beo hard to pull out regardless of of judicial rev we have ofnd beyond that, i kind of think i thet tsi pre looking someone that can look at the big tough iues. we've got healthcare, i think we have thetr international e tariffs and welso h national security on the table so someone who really speaks to the types of things and can kind of help set the stage for trump moving forward is probably the te of person that theoi president'sng to i think kavanaugh's strong but i think we maylso see a couple other t contenders in next few days. >> i want to give you guys a

few seconds. a lot of debate onmmigration and wher go. joel let me start with you. the republicans have not been le to get anything through at this point. they have the majority. io a forward? >> i'm not quite sure and i don't think that's the point. i don't think republicans o the president actually want to see acppon. they've had otunities. the president knowshat this is an issue that's very popular with his base he is us think the president tookis p a rkis forward the separation issue earlier this year and it was kind o a test to see how things played phe las,stg lawse existing that we have do not work and ng'se. o chaut stipulated that to congress and i thiat'sth nk pushing forward so we would hae immtion problems wetion to nve american people wou as well. >> time will tell.
