More the latter (99%) and less the former (1%).
Not just Ryan, but Reince Prebuis as he was suppose to run point on the healthcare legislation!
Know why it was pulled? Had more moderate Republicans vote against! Why are the Freedom Caucus the focus of President Trumps ire?
Ryan & Prebuis really didn’t do their jobs!
And it only stopped PP funding for ONE year!! Read page 23 of CBO report!
Why did President Trump support this bill? That’s the big question.
Donald J. Trump

Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!

I cannot wait to read the leaks about who were Ryan’s secret conspirators in the legislation he produced. Personally, I do not believe for a second Ryan cared whether it passed or ever got voted for or against. He got Trump on board and then tried to dunk Trump.
The Repubs’ lack of preparation and planning of the repeal-and-replace action was what doomed it. They should’ve taken a deep breath, slowed down and been a lot more deliberate in formulating a policy that would actually work.
What did anyone expect from a wuss who got destroyed by Joe Biden in a debate? Joe. Biden! Ryan clearly is in over his Peter Principle level.
To top it off, he pulled the bill instead of letting it fail on the floor where there would be an accounting of who voted against it. Whether you are for the bill it or against it, it was a real dick move.
Noooooooo, it’s the “conservative ideologues” fault! I know because Fox News told me so!
False dichotomy. You left out the root cause: the DONORS, whom have bought and paid for his election/seat for whom he does ANYTHING.
The vs. Trump Admin is just a fringe benefit.
And, the Constitution is just too simple vs. education to follow to chalk anything up to “stupidity”
I agree with the author of the posted article. Ryan is a disaster as speaker. Maybe he is a wonk, but he’s not very smart in ways that count in political leadership. After his horrible behavior during the campaign last year, the first thing House Republicans should have done in January was to replace Ryan if a suitable replacement could be found.
Ryan needs to be dumped
I think “The Swamp” has come up with what they consider to be a winning strategy against our agent of change (Trump). Put up “crap” legislation on major policy issues knowing that it will fail, and then repeat, while pushing the narrative that we have an incompetent President that no one can work with.
Keep repeating that mantra with the assumption that his base will eventually turn on him so they can get back to business as usual.
Paul Ryan’s Catastrophic Lack of Political Skill and Judgment
Ryan is a back stabbing snake that pushed his plan and left out any input form real conservatives. It is his plan to bury anything that the President wants in BS.
All of it. It was to be RYANCARE or noting. He and his dem wife sold their souls to Big Pharma, health ins, and finance for campaign $$. Ryan’s 20 biggest backers are in the financial, insurance, or health sectors, so are her’s, he was not going to cut his own funds off.

Wormtongue Ryan looked like he was about to throw up on his shoes the day they pulled Heathcontrol-lite.
It may just be that he had gotten scolded by a man. Something he hasn’t seen in years, ensconced Versailles.
Ryno is bought and paid for by big business donors. He does what he’s told.
