He agrees with me that the Congressman from New Jersey may have missed the point, but when you increase Medicare spending from $196 to $304 billion, that is not a cut.

Today, it boiled down to politics. A question that I would like to know is who was -- who won when General Flynn had to resign? Was that a victory for Russia?
The left has kept saying all along, why didn't the president just call, pick up the phone and ask the FBI or the Justice Department if he was being wiretapped.
I just say when anybody starts arguing the process in the U.S. Senate, it is a cop-out, I think he just wanted to vote no, and he found that's a convenient excuse.
I actually think the American people are fed up with the politics. Elijah Cummings said today he wanted to work -- very liberal Democrat, as you know, he wanted to work with Trump. And I think that's a good sign.
