I think you are screwing up by believing what the NY Times is reporting here.

The health care bill is not over, the vote has not even occurred. Coming from the New York Times, I would not be surprised if more than half of this is fiction.

And you know this how Maggie you shameless piece of shit? Who told you any of this? No one you made it up. You are a Wikileaks exposed Democrat media operative and nothing more. Go sit in the corner with Charles Blow.

One of the things the Freedom Caucus is going to have to reconcile is that Obamacare repeal is going to take several attempts. It is going to have to die a death of a thousand cuts. Trying to do it all at one time, given the ideological makeup of the GOP house and Senate, is going to require several bills over many years to undo the damage.

Buying into fake news again? Not very smart.

Part of the “art of the deal” is to walk away (which Trump did in NYC) in the Penn Station deal, I think, after other side has invested tons & stands to lose all.

As for Ivanka, please. I haven’t heard one complaint from my sources about “undue influence”.

People like Trump don’t have doubts about their plans. They just have probability.

Yeah...according to the NYT, Trump is already the defeated, introspective leader, not unlike Hitler in the bunker.

Gotta be true. The NYT is credible.

Self-doubt.......NOT. Trump has the megaphone. He speaks very loud and a whole lot of people listen. Trump is in a win-win situation.

There are plenty of people here that have pointed out the same things being said by the NYT

He screwed up...

OF course, maybe NYT is lying about Pence and Kushner saying it was a bad idea..because Pence is close to Ryan.

“Staff members agreed on a hasty rollout strategy during weekend meetings earlier this month — with Mr. Pence suggesting that the president maintain distance from the proposal, urging him to refer to the bill as Mr. Ryan’s creation, according to senior Republicans.”

Pence is clearly trying to distance himself from this disaster that many of you here keep trying to support.

Seems to me, Kellyanne, Reince, Mulvaney, etc., were dispatched to Capitol Hill to wrangle votes.
The troops had more urgent places to be than to talk with the NYT.

NYT is projecting what is happening in their own board rooms and news rooms.

Let it fail...move on to the stuff we understand: tax reform, the Wall, ‘immigration’ and infrastructure.

Then when we have the time to DO IT RIGHT take on ‘health care’...

Or

Pass this poorly thought out bill WITH THE AGREEMENT IT WILL BE REVISITED AND REVISED IN 18 MONTHS.

He’s not battling with self-doubts...he’s battling with the enormity of the swamp...

He never realized it’s depth nor width and how it’s leeched through the ground to contaminate so much of the soil of Washington...
