Both Ryan and the FC are the ones at fault here, with Trump not realizing what Stockholm syndrome fools ALL Republicans have become. That is his fault, and probably a lesson learned.

I hope they can piece it back together again, but it will be on Trump's shoulders to resurrect it. The FC and Ryan are equally culpable in destroying a bill process (yes FCers, it had to be a three step process) that would have gotten us three quarters of what we wanted, along with the defunding of Planned Parenthood, and a genuine repeal of Obummercare.

I doubt we can get any better than that. I hope we can even get that much now.

Planned parenthood was just defunded for a year and it sure as hell did not have to be a three step process. Anyone who believes step 2 and 3 would have come to fruition is living in la la land.
All the crap was in the first step and the goodies in the next steps. I’ve read that book before when the dems were going to seal the border!!!
