Paul Ryan is not a man of his word.
This is his bill.
Therein lies the problem.
If this is some sort of rino trick, then Ryan and the rest will pay dearly at the ballot box.
They know this.
It’s a “ better way”. /s
And he and his bill are getting brutalized in the public arena. Then Trump and his people roll into his office and say, "Hey, buddy, here's some changes that need to happen to make this go a lot better for you."
Ryan got the first round in negotiations. He's not going to get very far.
The best thing that could happen to Trump and our country on this is for the freedom caucus types to save him from this bill, however mistakenly he has pushed it.
A positive report from DeMint on his meeting with Trump on this gives me some hope at least that the solution will be an immediate effective repeal through reconciliation and then more considered, free-market approaches further applied from there.
