i think the people in tennessee and arizona supported this president. i don't think that the numbers are in the favor of either of those two senators in their states. so this is probably the right decision. >> thank you. today you earlier -- sarah, why is the president involved in this feud with senator corker? is there some concern on capitol hill that what you should be focused on is getting your agenda of tax reform through and petty feuds like this just distract from the bigger issue? why is the president engaging in it? >> that's what the president is focused on doing. that's what he spent the majority of his day talking about. he went to the hill and met with republican senators to talk about tax reform, push his legislative agenda. that's what he's spending the week doing and will continue to doing next week until we get the job done. >> why does he engage like this? >> you have the president, he's a fighter. the people didn't elect somebody to be weak. they elected somebody to be strong. when he gets hit, he's going to hit back. i think senator c
