The President also said it's incomplete and that he welcomes feedback from supporters and other conservatives.

So it's not as cut and dried as you're indicating.

It looks like it might be time for Senators Cruz and Paul to draw a line in the sand in the Senate.

If both Cruz and Paul capitulate to this turd, then I'll have to assume—since both of them are staunch conservatives—that this bill isn't quite as awful as some are suggesting.

The truth will out.

Right now I'm putting all my hopes in Senator's Cruz and Paul, and hopefully Steve Bannon as well.

This an important moment in the Trump Presidency—certainly th emost important moment thus far— and I can't believe the President is not willing to fight to get the best solution possible—one he can take credit for when it succeeds.

Having said that, it is the legislature's responsibility to craft the laws of this nation; it's where the burden appropriately rests. So we can't expect the President to do all of the heavy lifting. Congress is going to have to acquit itself well in this process, because the executive branch isn't supposed to write the nation's laws.

This is an area of joint responsibility, and the President can't govern as a conservative just by being all by himself out on an island, surrounded by an ocean of squishy "moderates".

If the administration wants a better bill, however, it's going to have to lead in one way or another.

So just as I reject those who insist this bill is the answer, I similarly reject the notion that the responsibility for what ensues is solely the President's.

The problem may be that there are too many Republicans slithering around in the swamp with the Democrats.

Who knows, it might be impossible to be a populist President and be a successful one.

President Trump is going to have to constantly readjust his large cohones if he's to be truly Revolutionary...

Cruz, Paul, and Lee have already called for full repeal. They’re virtually certain to vote no, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a couple of others who join them. (Sasse, for one.)

Another sad thing to contemplate is that we have had basically, I don’t know how many years to devise a replacement bill and under Ryan/McConnels leadership. This is the best they can come up with.? Sorry not buying it.
All this is is caving to their ultimate masters the illuminati/NWO who are running this show.... again.

“Right now I’m putting all my hopes in Senator’s Cruz and Paul”

Senators Cruz and Paul are unscrupulous scoundrels.
