collins and lisa murkowski in a way maybe they wouldn't have gone after john mccain who came through that side last night or jerry moran some of the health care bill's having a problem. >> yeah, i think that they've also come under increasing pressure it seems to be strong armed by the president. forgive me i'll switch topics because paul ryan just released a statement. he says i'm disappointed and frustrated by this health care failure but we should not give up. i encourage the senate to continue working towards a real solution that keeps our promise. we have so much work still to do and the house will continue to focus on issues that are important to the american people. i should go on to say that he argues that they should make the historic case for tax reform. he's clearly ready to move onto the next issue. elise, i want to put one more question to you on what we were just talking about though, which is the threats that the president has -- and his administration have been reportedly making to lisa murkowski, the alaska dispatch news, saying the trump administration threatened to hurt alaska and she was under incre
