[Q: On Lee and Moran opposing the bill last night]
They had their own reasons. I was very surprised when the two folks came out last night because we thought they were in fairly good shape but they did. You know, everybody has their own reason. If you really think about it, you look at it. We have 52 people, we have no Democrat support, which is really something that should be said, you should have Democrats voting for a great plan for a lot of people. We had no Democrat support You had 52 people, you had 4 nos. No we might have had another one someone in there. But the vote would have been if you look at it, 48-4. That’s a pretty impressive vote by any standard and yet you have a vote of 48-4 or something like that and you need more. That’s pretty tough. So the way I look at it is in 18, we’re going to have to get some more people elected. We have to go out and get more people elected that are Republicans. And we’re have to probably pull in those few people who voted against it. They’ll have to explain to you why they did and I’m sure they’ll have very fine reasons. But we have to get more Republicans because if we get it passed in the House, we would have gotten it very much----you know you can’t use his head as a stand, we don’t want that to happen. You’re messing with the wrong guy here---I think ‘we’re doing very well actually in 18. I would be not surprised if something is done long before that. In any case, because the margin is so small, the majority margin is so small, we’re going to have to go out and get more Republicans elected in ’18. I’ll be working very hard for that to happen. It would be nice to get Democrat support but really they are obstructionists. They have no ideas. They have no thought process. All they want to do is obstruct government and obstruct period. In this case, think of it, so many good things we didn’t get one vote and their plan has failed. And, by the way, Obamacare isn’t failing. It’s failed. Done.
