there was a moment where vice president pentz and john mccain went to the cloakroom off the floor to have a little bit of a chat. some people wonder, maybe there was a call that was made. we don't know if that in fact took place or not. that is something that they always talk about the president being the chief within congress. that is very important to be able to persuade people, but those folks who have studied what happens to the presidential power to persuade lawmakers to go a certain way, they say it is at the end of the day you get on the phone and you crack the whip. it is the idea that you have written creatively a legislative solution that matches the contours of the people who have to vote. obviously, that did not happen tonight. and something else. someone who has set for years that they would never repeal and replace obamacare said that obamacare was here to stay. the former speaker of the house, john boehner. he said it repeatedly, he said it a few months ago, and so far his words remain true. >> so where do the lawmakers go from here? where do they go, literally, it is

>> i think repeal and replace later which is what pentz was talking about.'s jump out of the plane first and worry about the parachute later. i don't think it's going to work. i think some of the most conservative members of the g.o.p. caucus in the senate would go for a repeal of the replace. but their moderate republican senators won't do it. i don't see any way to get to 50 with that and i think it's a bad idea and i don't think it's going to work. >> julie: i have to ask you both know about the revelations made public today, first by "the new york times," then confirmed by donald, jr., himself on twitter during this hour after he released emails that show that he knowingly had contact with russians who wanted to help the trim campaign. i want to read part of the email which reads, the documents would incriminate hillary, and this is coming from the prisoners at the meeting.
