Ryan: 'Obamacare is the law of the land'
POLITICO ^ | March 24, 2017 | Madeline Conway

Posted on 03/24/2017 2:40:30 PM PDT by Trump20162020

After withdrawing his health care bill from the House floor in an embarrassing defeat, Speaker Paul Ryan said Friday that “Obamacare is the law of the land” and will remain so “for the foreseeable future.”

“I don't know what else to say other than Obamacare is the law of the land,” Ryan told reporters shortly after House Republicans canceled a planned afternoon vote on their alternative to Barack Obama’s 2010 health care reform law.

“It's gonna remain the law of the land until it's replaced,” Ryan continued. “We did not have quite the votes to replace this law. And, so, yeah, we're going to be living with Obamacare for the foreseeable future.”

No, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. You’re just a piss-ant cuck.

What he should have said:

‘Obamacare will be the law of the land until I’m replaced as Speaker...which should be soon.’

“It’s gonna remain the law of the land until it’s replaced,” Ryan continued

________________________________________

This fool does not get it. He wasn’t supposed to. I still believe Trump was using Ryan as the biggest Useful Idiot ever.

Unless the RINO’s like Ryan get behind the Freedom Caucus, and work on a bill to REPEAL, then they are just beating a dead horse.

And this is the piece of excrement that the House saw fit to vote in as Speaker?

I’m sure his handlers are quite happy with that.

If it hadn’t been such a terrible bill in the first place, like letting more of the free market run healthcare, it may have had a chance.

On the other hand, it could have been done purposely this way so that 0bamacare remained the law of the land. What a freakin jerk Ryan turned out to be, the corrupt establishment wins either way with how it turned out.

The default position should be FIRST repeal, with no anticipation beyond that. Any other legislation, whether it stands or falls, needs to come after as a completely separate issue.

And they won't. Not only, but they have effectively neutered Trump. He is a lame duck, subject to the whims of the establishment now. Once more, we have been pissed on.

"Mr Speaker" you had 7 years to put a bill together that would repeal Obamacare. You knew what Senate and House rules were regarding how many votes were needed. YOU FAILED us Mr. Speaker. You might have even cost us the House and maybe the Senate. SHAME ON YOU!

Ryan doesn’t want to fix it . He doesn’t have to live with it.This traitors does what the pope wants not what what the people of the US need . The communist pope wants us to have commie care.

Ryan is a disgrace , a traitor , and an enemy to the people of this country . His loyalty lies elsewhere .

Amazing times we live in Democrats can pass any law they want whenever they want. And we can’t pass anything ever. Funny how that works. I hope the master deal maker has something up his sleeve because this ain’t winning and this doesn’t look like Leadership.
