Is Donald Trump Distancing Himself From Senate GOP On Purpose? | All In

>>> I SAID MITCH, GET TO WORK, LET'S GET IT DONE.
THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS LAST ONE DONE, THEY LOST BY ONE VOTE.
>> THE CRITICISM ONLY STARTED AFTER McCONNELL COMMENTED ABOUT
THE PRESIDENT'S EXPECTATIONS EARLIER THIS WEEK.
THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RETAETEDLIED ON THE CABLE NEWS
SHOWS THAT THE PRESIDENT LIKES TO WATCH.
>> OUR NEW PRESIDENT HAS NOT BEEN IN THIS LINE OF WORK
BEFORE, AND I THINK HAD EXCESSIVE EXPECTATIONS ABOUT HOW
QUICKLY THINGS HAPPEN IN THE DEMOCRATMOCRATIC PROCESS.
>> AS WAS SO MANY DONALD TRUMP FEUDS, THE FIGHT FIRST ESCALATED
ON TWITTER. HE SAID THAT SENAOR MITCH
McCONNELL SAID I HAVE EXCESSIVE EXPECTATIONS, I DON'T THINK SO.
THEN HE SAID DO YOU THINK MITCH McCONNELL WHO SCREAMS REPEAL AND
REPLACE COULD NOT GET IT DONE. A FEW HOURS LATER, FROM HIS GOLF
CLUB, HE SAID MITCH, GET BACK TO WORK AND PUT REPEAL AND REPLACE,
TAX CUTS, AND A INFRASTRUCTURE BILL ON MY DESK FOR SIGNING, YOU
CAN DO IT. THE FIGHT HAS RIGHT-WING PEOPLE
GOING ALONG. SENATORS HAVE BEEN SIDING WITH
THEIR LEADERS LIKE WARREN HATCH. I FULLY SUPPORT HIM.
JOINING ME NOW IS JIM MANLEY. HE SPENT A LOT OF TIME SQUARING
OFF AGAINST MITCH McCONNELL. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS?
>> I'M SPENDING ANOTHER NIGHT WITH YOU TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THIS PRESIDENT IS UP TO. ONCE AGAIN, IT DEFIES EVERY
RURAL. THE NEXUS OF HIS AGENDA IS
AROUND THE SENATE. SO TO ASSAULT OR TRASH THE
MAJORITY LEADER LIKE THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED.
WHAT IS HE UP TO? I CAN ONLY THINK THAT HE IS
TRYING TO MAKE DISTANCE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND HOUSE AND SENATE
REPUBLICANS BECAUSE NOTHING WILL HAPPEN FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET TAX REFORM DONE, INFRASTRUCTURE
DONE -- >> YOU THINK HE KNOWS IT AND HE
IS TRYING TO PUT THE BLAME ON McCONNELL AHEAD OF TIME?
>> YES, IN A VERY HANDED OR HEAVY FISTED MANNER AND IT IS
BOUND TO BLOW UP, BUT YES, I THINK THAT IS GOING ON HERE, BUT
IT ALSO ALLOWS McCONNELL -- HAS YOU SUGGESTED, I KNOW HIM WELL
ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT HE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT THIS
PRESIDENT HAS TO SAY. SHE OVERWHELMINGLY POPULAR.
HE HAS STRONG SUPPORT OF HIS CAUCUS, AND FROM HERE ON OUT, IT
WILL BE WHERE THEY'RE POSITIONS COME TOGETHER LIKE TAX CUTS FOR
THE WEALTHY AND BIG CORPORATIONS.
I CAN'T IMAGINE THIS GUY WILL GO TO THE MATT FOR THIS PRESIDENT
WHEN HE IS POLLING AT 36% APPROVAL RATING.
>> McCONNELL'S PERSONALITY CAN BE VERY HARD TO READ.
BUT THE JOHN McCAIN MOMENT WHEN HE PUTS THE THUMBS DOWN AND
KILLS THE REPEAL BILL, I THOUGHT BACK TO THE FACT THAT HE
FAMOUSLY IS ABLE TO HOLD A GRUDGE.
THE PRESIDENT SAID I LIKE PEOPLE THAT WEREN'T CAPTURED, WHAT IS
McCONNELL LIKE? WILL THIS MAKE HIM LESS INCLINED
TO HELP THE PRESIDENT? WILL HE LOOK FOR REVENGE?
>> THE REVENGE IS -- IT MAY OR MAY NOT TAKE AWHILE.
SHE NOT GOING TO PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THINK.
HE IS KEEPING THE FOCUS ON HIS PRIZE, AND THAT IS TRYING TO GET
TACK AND STRUCTURE DONE. AND THIRD PROTECT HIS CAUCUS.
HE IS MORE SO THAN JUST ABOUT ANY OTHER SENATOR I HAVE EVER
SEEN IMMUB TO THESE CRITICISMS. THAT'S WHY I NEVER UNDERSTAND
THE THINGS ABOUT BERNIE SANDERS AND OTHERS SAYING WE HAVE TO
TAKE IT TO MITCH McCONNELL. HE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT
THE OTHER FOLKS THINK. >> THAT IS A VERY INTERESTING
WINDOW. YOU DO THINK THEY'RE NOT GOING
TO TAKE ANOTHER RUN AT REPEAL AND REPLACE BECAUSE PART OF WHAT
IS INTERESTING HERE IS HE SEEMS TOING HYMN TO TAKE ANOTHER RUN
AT IT EVEN THOUGH MOST ARE SAYING NO THANK YOU.
>> THEY MADE VERY CLEAR THEY WANT TO GET THIS BEHIND THEM AS
QUICKLY AS THEY WANT TO PUT IT BEHIND THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL.
MAYBE THEY WILL WORK ON FIXESES FOR STABILITY TO THE SYSTEM, BUT
THEIR CAUCUS HAS HAD IT. THEIR GOAL IS WORK ON TAX CUTS,
BUT BEFORE THEY GET TO THAT, AS PREVIOUS FOLKS SAID, THERE IS A
LUMING POSSIBILITY OF A SHUT DOWN COMING FORWARD IN SEPTEMBER
WHEN THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH GOVERNMENT SPENDING OR THE DEBT
LIMIT. AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE, THERE IS
PART OF ME THAT THINKS McCONNELL AND RYAN NEED THESE KIND OF SHE
