Greta Van Susteren destroys GOP's Trumpcare 'victory' party 'It's like claiming victory in a football game at the end of the first quarter'

The spectacle of Republican members of Congress cheering the passage of their revised health care bill with high-fives and selfies in the White House Rose Garden didn't sit well with a former Fox News veteran.

The jubilant representatives were bused to the White House on Thursday after the revised GOP bill narrowly passed in the House.

"What is the celebration? It can't pass in the Senate. It hasn't even gone to the Senate," "Greta Van Susteren told her new collegue at MSNBC, Chris Matthews.

She was just getting started.

"It's like claiming victory in a football game at the end of the first quarter or the half or something. For the life of me, I don't know why they put themselves in a position where they're clapping each other on the back for getting something halfway done. The American people want a product. We're not even there and it's not even likely to be there. Now we have this picture, this bus ride, this big hoopla.

"I don't get this thing. This is a big show. It is fun for us, it's exciting, we have a big bus going down Constitution avenue. For what? Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed."

Matthews suggested the lawmakers appeared to forgotten they work for the legislative branch rather than the executive.

"First of all, the image of getting on a bus and being trooped down to the White House like you're working for the guy, it doesn't look like checks and balances to me," Matthews said.

Van Sustern predicted the measure would go "kerplunk" in the Senate.

"This is not over. Usually you wait to celebrate until things are over," Van Susteren said. "Instead we have members of Congress taking selfies of each other in the Rose Garden. And they're clapping. I just think this is premature. If this were a done deal, they should celebrate."

At that point, President Donald Trump made a dramatic entrance to the celebration that he had hastily assembled and hailed the passage of the bill. He said he was "so confident' it would pass the Senate.
