MSNBC’s Ruhle: Is Obama ‘Desperately Trying to Hang on to His Legacy’ with ObamaCare Push?

‘So right now in this moment, in this meeting, is he just desperately trying to hang on to his legacy?’

RUHLE: "You said in the book, you've highlighted one of President Obama’s biggest accomplishments has been the Affordable Care Act, so right now in this moment, in this meeting, is he just desperately trying to hang on to his legacy?" 
D'ANTONIO: "Well, I also think that he understands that this is a very hard thing to take apart. So much of what the president did in his eight years was carefully constructed and driven by data, so if you create the structure that is only now sort of fully taking shape and getting into gear, and then all of a sudden people want to just eliminate it, I think he may be sitting back thinking 'Let them try,' and he also must have an investment in the American people having health care coverage, so I am sure there’s some strategy being discussed about how to preserve the best parts and then let the Republicans live with their destructive acts."
