Trumps Art of the deal. Sometimes ya gotta walk away from a rotten deal. Just redo the damn thing right. How long do these morons need? Ryan is a complete disappoint and suck up.
Trump has been in office for just over 50 days.
Ryan hasn’t passed any legislation, since he was elected Speaker.
Trump has already brought JOBS, JOBS, JOBS to our economy and border crossings are down, since his election.
Trump cannot write legislation.
Eddie Munster failed, miserably. He did not whip the votes for his bill.
CEO Trump offered his support, as any good CEO would do with an employee he cannot remove....Trump has come out on top, Ryan not so much.
The swamp draining is really up to us, the voters.
We have to remove weasels like Ryan and replace them with patriots like Dave Brat.
I think he believed Ryan would be an honest broker and it would be easy, since everyone hates Obamacare.
At least now he knows that he will have to do all the heavy lifting for anything else he hopes to accomplish, since Ryan isn't worth spit.
I think most people will understand that if Donald J. Trump couldn’t pull it off, NO ONE could.
AMEN Jane AMEN!!!
None of that matters...those are EXCUSES and excuses don’t work with voters. Only winning and success does. This was a massive failure on one of the signature items of the election. Trump is greatly weakened by the failure. He’s already in deep trouble on immigration, another signature item - he’s been stopped in his tracks by leftist judges (and now he wants to negotiate with Democrats on healthcare? They may laugh themselves to death at his naïveté.)
Losses tend to avalanche and Trump desperately need a massive victory NOW. Right now, the only reality is the failure. Regardless of what a crap sandwich Ryan made for him, he had to WIN. The loss is crippling. Democrats...particularly Hillary...are drinking the good champagne tonight.
You mean the ones who opposed the bill? Or the ones who supported it? I’m having trouble keeping track of who the backstabbers are.
I’m thrilled to pieces about this!!
Today the Republican-controlled House of Representatives let down President Trump and, more importantly, the American people. We did so in the most cowardly, craven way possible — by failing to vote on the repeal of Obamacare. I share the frustration and disappointment of Northwest Floridians who expected and deserved action. We should know who was willing to stand with President Trump and who wasn’t. Now we never will. Some say we should give up — that we should simply accept Obamacare’s cruel failures for eternity. I won’t. I promised Northwest Floridians that I’d fight Washington control of our health care, our education, our environment and our lives. I’m more determined than ever to keep fighting. In the weeks and months ahead the Republican party must demonstrate the competence to govern. It is possible. In Florida, I was part of a leadership team that fought the special interests and the anti-reform establishment. We cut taxes by more than $1 billion dollars while repealing over 4,000 regulations, protecting life and our Constitutional rights. We empowered people, not government. As your congressman, I plan to redouble my efforts to bring a renewed sense of urgency to this corrupt and disconnected town. In the face of this setback, we need bold, conservative reform more than ever. The fate of our nation is at stake.
Trump’s plan is to let obamacare implode taking ryan care with it
Trump on video is not fake news.
Sheesh, how dumb is that?
Yup, and I hope Trump is SERIOUSLY considering this strategy.
Then he shouldn’t have done it now. You have to know before you attempt anything that you will succeed. You cannot try and fail. Politics is brutal and unforgiving. This loss will haunt him, hurt him, and maybe even cripple him.
You cannot lose in this venue. That’s how you become weak.

Dream on, Mr. President. The Democrats are not interested in working with you on anything. <
umm, that is Trump’s plan.
I see 5 easy US-Senate pickups in 2018,
maybe 10 or 12
He still has the idea that it is the federal government’s paternalistic job to design everyone’s healthcare plan and policies and rules and regulations. The idea of truly freeing up the free market in healthcare somehow still hasn’t occurred to him. That is why he envisions working with Dems (rather than those stick in the mud Feedom Caucus conservatives) to implement “healthcare” in the future.
“The loss is crippling.”
Nonsense. You don’t know what you are talking about.
In fact, I believe you are cheer leading for that outcome.
Excuses??? I gave you facts on what Trump has done in just 50 days.
Look what great news he had JUST TODAY with Keystone Pipeline and Charter Communications.
Trump handled this as perfectly as he could...considering what he has to work with, with Lyin Ryan and Midge.
Go back to The Hill, or whatever NeverTrump site you enjoy hanging out at.
