said "read my lips, no new taxes," and that was a problem when taxes were raised, primaried by pat buchanan't help him. so how much is the pledge tied to trump directly? >> i think it was. i don't think it was just fundmental to his support, it was fundamental to the republican party since 2010, since this bill was put into law. so, this is a lot like that no new taxes, where the candidate says i am going to deliver on this major issue. tax cuts were the same, and opposing tax increases was the same back in the 1980s, and i didn't deliver. and that's what just happened to president trump. so, there's a kind of clarity that i think could anger his supporters in the same way many conservatives were angry with president bush when he ran for re-election in 1992. >> what do you make of the argument that some have been putting out there, especially over the weekend in the wake of the health care bill failure on friday, that maybe, maybe -- and matt lewis said it earlier on the show -- this is a good thing for president trump, because maybe, maybe this bill wasn't the best bill, and republicans wo
