Notice how the House so rapidly came up with this crap bill, how easily on board he got, and how easily he washed his hands of it as it crashed and burned? Normally, something this big would take several months to hammer out into something that could be voted on with a reasonable chance of success. This whole fiasco was rushed in a big way.
I think someone got snookered, and it wasn't DJT. The press is crowing that it was a loss for Trump, but the fact is Ryan was the big loser here. President Trump has shown us that he is amazingly good at exposing frauds and traitors for the whole world to see. This may have just been one of his 'stings' to out more traitors.
If I'm right about any of this, this has to be one of the most cunning presidents we have had in our lifetimes. In fact, almost frighteningly so, and I'm glad he's on our side....
We’re the ones who’ve been snookered into believing that a bill has to take months and months and years and years and we can’t possibly expect Congresscritters to move their (cough) any faster. Proposals in business take days and weeks. Especially if one has been supposedly sitting on the shelf for 7 years and voted on More Than 60 Times, right? Do these clowns think we’re idiots? Somebody’s playing games, but it’s not Trump and it’s not Pence.
