WHETHER TRUMP'S BASE STAYS LOYAL TO HIM, I THINK
IT'S A MORE PRESSING QUESTION TO CONSIDER WHETHER THE HOUSE WILL
STAY LOYAL TO HIM.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S CONTROLLED BY THE
REPUBLICANS WHICH MEANS THEY CAN ACCOMPLISH PRETTY MUCH WHATEVER
THEY WANT, AT LEAST IN THE HOUSE, AND MOSTLY THE SENATE AS
WELL.
AND WHILE THE SENATE COULDN'T PASS A VERSION OF
TRUMPCARE, THE HOUSE ACTUALLY DID IT.
THEY EVENTUALLY PUSH
SOMETHING THROUGH THAT YOU HAVE TO BET SOMEDAY IS GOING TO BITE
THEM ON THE ASS WHEN IT COMES TO CAMPAIGN ADS BEING RUN AGAINST
THEM BECAUSE IT WOULD KICK TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OFF HEALTH
INSURANCE.
BUT THEY DID IT, AND THEY DID IT WITH THE ASSURANCES
THAT IT WOULD PAY OFF BECAUSE THE SENATE WOULD EVENTUALLY DO
IT, THE WHOLE PARTY WOULD BE TOGETHER, AND THEY COULD SAY THE
ACCOMPANIST SOMETHING.
BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT WILL
HAPPEN, WHICH MEANS THAT THOSE HOUSE REPUBLICANS PUT THEIR ASS
ON THE LINE, AND THEY ARE JUST GOING TO GET THE NEGATIVE FOR
IT.
THEY WILL BE ATTACKED, POTENTIALLY PRIMARIED --
>>GOOD.
>>I THINK IT'S GOOD, BUT FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW PROBABLY
NOT.
IT TURNS OUT THEY ARE PISSED THAT DONALD TRUMP.
>>ARE YOU NOT TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WAY YOU
VOTED?
AW.
LET'S HEAR FROM THEM.
>>WE WILL HEAR FROM THE POOR BABIES.
REPRESENTATIVE MARK
AMODEI OF NEVADA SAID --
>>AND THE WAY IT'S DESCRIBED IS
--
>>OH.
OKAY, SO YOU'RE UPSET -- I LOVE HOW HE IS BELITTLING THE
INTELLIGENCE OF MEMBERS OF THE SENATE WHILE HE COMPLAINS ABOUT
VOTING FOR LEGISLATION THAT HE MAYBE DIDN'T NECESSARILY BELIEVE
IN, BECAUSE HE WANTED TO APPEASE THE EMPEROR.
WHO IS THE DUMB ONE
IN THIS SCENARIO?
>>I THINK EVERYBODY.
>>OKAY, THAT'S FAIR, BUT I WOULD ARGUE THAT MODERATE REPUBLICANS
WHO ACTUALLY TOOK A PRINCIPLED STAND AND SAID NO, MY
CONSTITUENTS ARE IN FAVOR OF THIS, I WILL REPRESENT THEM AND
NOT CAVE TO SOMEONE LIKE TRUMP, I THINK THEY ARE A LITTLE
SMARTER.
I KNOW YOU ARE A LITTLE UPSET BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT
PRINTABLE IN ANY WAY AND YOU FEEL LIKE THIS WILL NEGATIVELY
IMPACT YOU, BUT IT SHOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT YOU.
>>IT WASN'T JUST HIM, WE ALSO HAVE DARRELL ISSA WHO SAID --
>>WELL, THEY CAME UP WITH SCRIBBLES AT THE VERY LEAST.
THAT COULD BE FUN.
AND THERE WERE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES NOT
WILLING TO GO ON THE RECORD EXPRESSING HOW MAD THEY WERE.
I
DON'T COVER THIS BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS, I REALLY
DON'T, BUT IT'S INTERESTING FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A TRUMP
DEFENDER, WILL TRUMP BE ABLE TO COUNT ON THE HOUSE TO PASS
CONTROVERSIAL LEGISLATION THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DAMAGE THEM
AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE?
AFTER TRYING IT ONCE AND BEING BURNED,
ARE THEY GOING TO BE THERE?
THE WHOLE FOR ME ONCE, CAN'T GET
FOOLED AGAIN -- MAYBE THEY CAN'T GET FOOLED AGAIN.
WE WILL HAVE TO FIND OUT.
>>THEY WILL DO IT AGAIN, THEY WILL DO IT EVERY TIME.
THE ONE
WHO WAS THE MOST SCATHING OF THOSE ANONYMOUS CONGRESSIONAL
MEMBERS, MAD ABOUT THE WAY THIS CAME FORWARD, HE SAID IN ORDER
TO SPEAK CANDIDLY ABOUT IT I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND LAY
INTO HIM SO DON'T GIVE THEM MY NAME.
YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT
EVERY ASPECT OF THE WAY THESE POLITICIANS WORK.
DON'T SAY MY
NAME, BECAUSE WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY WILL GET ME IN TROUBLE.
SO
DO YOU MEAN IT?
IF YOU SAY WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN IS A POLITICIAN,
YOU WON'T BE A POLITICIAN ANYMORE.
THINK ABOUT THE NATURE
OF THE SYSTEM, I CAN'T SAY WHO I AM BECAUSE THEY WILL KILL ME IF
THEY HEAR WHAT I REALLY FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING.
THEY KNOW
HOW BAD EVERYTHING IS, HOW BAD THE LEGISLATION THEY PUT FORWARD
IS, THEY KNOW THEY WILL GET A OF CAMPAIGN ADS AGAINST THEM,
BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW BAD IT IS.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DOING
THEIR JOB.
IT HAS TO DO WITH KEEPING THEIR JOB.
AND CONTINUE TO DECEIVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
