And they're on our side not because it's Democrat, Republican, not because it's a political fight.

They don't give a hoot about politics.

They're facing these devastating decisions they have to make ahead of a rural hospital.

Should I close my rural hospital?

They had a Silver Lake nursing home on Staten Island and many others.

Should I close my nursing home?

And then, of course, the tens of millions of Americans are going to have to make the decision as to whether they pay more.

So the bottom line is they always try to come up with a subterfuge, a diversionary issue that has nothing to do with what we're debating and discussing.

And here's just a little – this is a little political insider-ish, so shut me off.

The real roadblock here is Johnson.

Not Thune, although he's not been helpful, but he hasn't.

Johnson is in a true pickle for two reasons.

Number one, about half his caucus doesn't want any ACA extension.

Scalise just got up and said that.

That's his number two guy from Louisiana also.

So they don't want it.

But.

He's got 50 people in his caucus who very much want it.

And they're the ones who are most vulnerable in the reelection.

Everyone, you know, they want to keep the House Republican.
