That was GOP grandstanding when it didn’t matter. You know that, as well as anybody else. If they had the VOTES, when it mattered they would have done it.
You're missing the point. If they grandstand for their constituents when it doesn't matter, then it means that their constituents want a simple repeal.
I cannot give you an answer other than they did not have the votes
when it mattered most. Or Ryan chose not to offer it up for another vote.
The fact is, it failed and we still have Full Blown Obamacare.
