. >> jesse: joining us now to analyze from washington, to weigh in lena epstein, former co-chair for the trump campaign in michigantrategist reena shaw. so, reena, conservative principles, i guess let obamacare live. >> oh, come on. you guess? obamacare has to live on right now because there was no thoughtful, nicely well done approach to dismanhattan links it. this was hard and fast. it was going to be rammed down the throats of the representative. you know what? frankly it was the best thing paul ryan did to cancel that vote. >> jesse: you believe keeping obamacare in place is a positive thing even though if it's going to happen for the next year or possibly two? >> for now it is because there hasn't been a proper approach to really fixing the issues. middle class families have suffered under obamacare, i get it, i know so. they see rising peopl premiums. we have so. to tackle. it can't be done in the middle of the night and done with ultimatums issued from the white house. >> jesse: i understand. lena, when you talk about blame going around. >> it wasn't just the freedom caucus. the white house pressed it up. p
