“He would have had all of them on board and that was/is all he needed.”

Not so. The further the bill moved toward liberty the more “moderate” Republicans they lost. They tried to thread the needle in the GOP caucus alone and found that middle in the GOP caucus to only be about 190 votes wide.

A “Repeal Only” bill would lose with 420+ votes NAY.

That’s our sad political reality.

My own Republican Congressman announced that he wasn't going to support the Ryan bill -- and he is one of those "moderates."

I'm still waiting for Donald Trump to post a sarcastic Twitter message thanking him for saving Obamacare and Planned Parenthood's funding.

The Twitter silence on this one is deafening.

Everyone seems to have forgot how and why Trump was elected.

Most theories are BS and Ryan proved that.

Everyone who has said Trump would never be elected unless he.......

Fill in your own theory, were proven to be wrong.

Trump will either do what he ran on or he will be president for the same length of time as Mr. Read My Lips, No New Taxes.
