Published | Video Starts at 05:56

The Republicans would agree to Democrats writing a health care bill because they know that even if that proposal were to pass here in the Senate, it would go nowhere in the House. House would not entertain it. And If by some amazing chance it were to pass in the House, Donald Trump would veto it. So in other words, it amounts to an empty gesture. Some of my colleagues would feel great, they can go back home and say, you know what? I cast the vote. (05:56–06:05)
