I don’t give Ryan a total pass, but he was looking at being Speaker with Clinton as President. When Trump won, he changed gears - not entirely - but he saw the opportunity to get some things done - not all - he wants reductions in entitlements - something off limits for Trump - at least so far.
And you’re right - he gutted O-care. The 7.5 million that were paying ‘taxes’ not to join and the 13.5 million that have arranged for the ‘hardship exemption’ (also aka what the Democrats say are @20 million without health care)lol, they won’t have to mock up another excuse next year for not signing up. :-)
Ryan is now in full Trump support mode, he has wanted to do this for his whole time in congress, Trump made it happen.
