Here's the interesting part:

And in private, Mr. Trump took a much harder line. The president was furious that members of the hard-line conservative Freedom Caucus had opposed the legislation. He demanded for much of Thursday that Mr. Ryan push a vote to publicly expose the members who were opposing the administration.”
“Mr. Trump and his top strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, wanted to see a confidential list to exact revenge on the bill’s Republican opponents, according to two people with direct knowledge of the situation”

Ryan and Trump worked together on this.
I figured the chances were close to zero that a major bill would reach Trump's desk.

What you are saying is true. Also take into consideration we had a Doofus in 2008 who wouldn’t ever defend himself against the Democrats.

Saw the same accusations on Yahoo and Facebook earlier today saying he’s blaming Dems.

Wrong way to look at it and why we always lose.

Poor widdle Dems can’t EVER be held to account for anything. Republicans mmust play a perfect game, always.

Sorry, that’s loser mentality. We can do better, but to give 48% of the government a pass is crap. I don’t accept it. Lean to play their game & we start winning.

Oh please. It’s been in place since he won the election. For crying out loud these people act like a misspelling in one of his tweets is a victory.
