What? House GOP hasn’t sent health-care bill to the Senate, may need to vote again (Paul Ryan!!)

As things get dicier in the White House, it’s a comfort to know we still have competent leadership in the House.

Remember, although an earlier version of the AHCA would have reduced the deficit by $150 billion over 10 years according to CBO, Ryan and his team refused to wait for CBO’s score of the amended version that passed the House a few weeks ago. And because they didn’t, they ended up holding a Rose Garden ceremony for a bill that might end up being defective under parliamentary rules. Gross malpractice, if the new score is bad:

I don't buy this excuse. I think they're pissed that Meadows negotiated a deal to get repeal through. Ryan wanted his plan or nothing to pass the house. So they're going to let the CBO kill it, or call another vote with choreographed failure.

I continue to believe Ryan and McConnell are out to sabotage the Trump presidency and continue the Establishment’s agenda which is the same as the Democrat’s agenda. Total government control.

Doesn’t matter.

Not sure how they can on tax matters, but...
Senate Repubs said they will start from scratch.

Everything that happens inside the Beltway is designed to delay and obfuscate; the NWO crowd's game plan is to run out the clock on President Trump's term.

The political version of the old college basketball 4-corner offense.

Of course they are.

The more I see of Ryan and McConnell and their shenanigans, the more I believe there has to be truth behind the pizzagate thing.

Those two, and so many more on the GOPe are so obviously owned and operated by the DNC, blackmail of a most very serious sort has to be involved.

The uniparty on both sides has decided its time for repubs to lose control of congress. The lame excuses the repubs give their supporters for not doing anything are not working anymore. They will screw up stuff more to anger the base to stop supporting them and lose control so the uniparty on both sides can fully attack trump under a democrat congress.

Had Hillary won the election, I have very little doubt that Paul Ryan would have passed many “bipartisan” bills by this point and sent them off to the Senate, where John McCain would have championed their passage to play statesman with his good pal Hillary.

The fact is, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and the rest never thought for one single solitary moment that Donald Trump would win. They never contemplated they would find themselves in the position they are in. They had already rehearsed their lines (”with a democrat in the White House, there’s only so much we can do”) and have very little cover for their lust to grow and bloat government all the more.

That’s why they are sitting back and letting the media create a story of collusion and corruption without any facts to back it up.

I have said this a hundred times before and I will say it again, Paul Ryan never fails to lose when winning is imperative for America’s freedom and prosperity. He is a deep-cover, crypto-socialist globalist. The sooner he is gone from the Republican Party the better. It would be better to have a Demonrat from his district than him.

Country club, GOPe, Republicans can FOAD.

No. It’s patently true.
...If the House wants to have the opportunity to make changes to to it to align it with the Rules.
Otherwise those changes will be left solely up to the Senate EINOs.
House is slightly less RINO.

Though it’s all ‘iffy’ this is no big deal.

Paul Ryan has spent his entire life in politics and it’s time for this slick, perverse man to go home.

This article seems like a lot of nonsense. Before the House even voted on the AHCA the Senate leadership announced that it would be drafting its own bill rather than amending the House bill.
