Look, Ryan is a known backstaber but he is also the speaker of the house. Your post seems to suggest that Trump can choose not to work with him and still get legislation across. That is simply not true. Trump has no choice but to work with Ryan. His entire legislative agenda will go through Ryan as long as Ryan is the speaker. Expect many more bad bills and pray that the senate has the wisdom to fix them.
Not sure where you got the impression that my response suggested that Trump didn’t have to work with Ryan. In fact, I’ve said exactly the opposite; Ryan IS the Speaker of the House, for good or for bad. I was simply responding to your prior post.
However, taking a bill that Ryan had already prepared (I suspect Trump and his staff had no more insight into the content of the bill than most members of the House) - one that Ryan was trying to ram through the legislative process on a completely unrealistic timeline - and hanging his “Repeal and Replace” promise on it was not a good move.
