Scoop: Trump phones Schumer for help on health care, worrying GOP

Although it's not known what Trump proposed or how Schumer responded, word traveled fast among Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill:

• The initial reaction among some Republicans was consternation, even though they didn't know the upshot of the call.
• A well-wired Republican told us: "It codifies the Rs' failure on repeal/replace and shows the President can move without hesitation or ideological impediment to make a deal with the Dems. It depresses R base turnout in the midterms, as Trump voters are further disconnected from the Congressional wing."
