Sara Fagen: If GOP Doesn’t Come Together on Health Care, Pelosi Will Be Back as Speaker

STEPHANOPOULOS; Senator Lindsey Graham there talking about his good friend, John McCain. Of course, we all learned this week that Senator McCain is battling a brain tumor We all wish him well.

I want to talk a moment more about all this now in our roundtable. Of course, the fact that Senator McCain is now getting treatment means he will not be back in Washington right away.

Sara Fagen, one less vote for health care for Senator McConnell right there.

Senator Schumer has gone from 50-50 to now thinking they’re not going to pass it. Is there any way this can pass this week?

FAGEN: It looks unlikely, unfortunately. But I do think this is a once in a generation opportunity for Republicans. And they need to come together and pass something, not only because it’s right for the party and politically and most importantly, right for the country, it’s right for them at the ballot box.

STEPHANOPOULOS: They don’t even know what they’re passing any more. Does it just — pass anything?

FAGEN: This has been a debacle. It has been a debacle. And every corner of the Republican Party has blame here. From those that are on the far right that are purists to those that are on the left that are, you know, fighting over small issues.

We need to come together, or, ironically, Nancy Pelosi, who was ousted in 2010 as speaker over health care is going to be back as speaker because of health care.

MARTIN: How about this here, versus this being good for the party, how about actually...

FAGEN: I said it was good for the country...
