I am happy with how this turned out, but the reality is that Trump wanted this to pass. He sent a tweet asking everyone to call their congress critters and tell them to vote in favor of it. The idea that this is Trump playing 3D chess hoping that it would fail so Ryan would be vanquished makes no sense in light of Trump’s actions.

“The idea that this is Trump playing 3D chess hoping that it would fail so Ryan would be vanquished makes no sense in light of Trump’s actions.”

I think he was satisfied with both outcomes. Happy if it passed, happier if it didn’t.

Rush had an interesting take on this today.

He said that the way Obamacare was written, very wide latitude was given to the administrator of Healthcare, who would be Tom Price.

In effect, by keeping those original rules, Price could more or less gut Obamacare without fully replacing it because of the great power of the administrator.

So I think this was the plan: destroy Obamacare from the inside out.

“Everybody’s got to be covered,” Trump said, referring to his health care plan. “This is an un-Republican thing for me to say... But I am going to take care of everybody. I don’t care if it costs me votes or not... The government’s gonna pay for it... (People) can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.”

Fredo (Alfredo) is Michael Corleone’s brother in the Godfather. He’s the anti-Michael, the family embarrassment, a bumbling fool completely lacking any of the typical traits necessary to be successful in La Cosa Nostra. In the end Michael has him “offed.”

“Ok, who is Fredo?”

Still waiting for Reince to be “clipped”...

I was hoping this was Trump playing 3D chess, but I am afraid you are correct: his words and actions don’t support that hope...

DARE him to have ANOTHER debate with Buffoon, Joe Biden (his mouth conveniently covered with duct tape).

Lyin’ Ryan wins = he keeps his present job.

Lyin’ Ryan loses this one = he puts his tail between his legs and slithers out the door marked “EXIT”

The little boy/man has no more real experience than did our FORMER pResident, BO’B. He was given this position due only to his Buddy, John B, who had paved the way for the jerk to come in with a crown on his wonky little head. The wonk has lied as many times as BO’B. The only difference is BO’B is on a Tahitian beach and Ryan on a cushy chair as Speaker and a place holding card in line to be a possible POTUS.

Nothing - not even the close friendship with our VP Pence, could possibly change this mind in believing that he is a worthless POS and NOT TO BE BELIEVED.

PRESIDENT TRUMP - RYAN, failed you. FIRE HIM or at least replace this ‘ally’ with one who is not a fraud.

Yes, that statement was heard by many. Most were shouting with joy so loudly they failed to understand what the last part of the sentence implied.

HOWEVER, DJT also has told US (you, me, others) that he will be looking out for US and we could trust him to do so. HE WOULD NOT FAIL US. I’m holding him to that...period.
Meanwhile, we wait to see his WONDERFUL replacement bill after we have a peek and a pass on the REPEAL bill. He was wrong to trust Ryan, Pence was wrong to insist he do so; if, in fact, he actually did.

“...the reality is that Trump wanted this to pass....”
*********************************

Maybe, but he also asked that he and his folks be held accountable. The Freedom Caucus and others who love America worked hard to keep Trump from being entrapped by passage of the monstrosity know as RYANCARE.

The folks who truly want to see Trump and MAGA succeed were the ones who fought passage with the most vigor & heart. God bless all involved in that effort.

Don't know..but this Michael Walsh runs at the mouth like Carlo Rizzi. He could say the same thing in a quarter of the words.
