Washington (CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan tried to offer a robust defense of the House plan to repeal and replace part of Obamacare, but declined to say whether the bill could pass the House as is Wednesday.

"It's not coming up this afternoon," Ryan told CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead." "It's going through the legislative process. That legislative process has not been finalized. That's, no offense, that's kind of a goofy question or faulty premise because this goes through four committees. We've gone through two so far." Ryan has been under heavy criticism from conservatives and major interest groups as well as a Congressional Budget Office report that said the American Health Care Act would lead to 24 million people losing health insurance coverage. The bill goes before the House Budget Committee Thursday. Speaking at a news conference on Capitol Hill later in the day, Ryan confirmed that he expected the bill would go to the House Rules Committee some time next week.

If he had the votes don’t you think he’d say so?

There’s your answer.

Why is Ryan still in charge of anything? He’s toxic.

Paul “Lyin’” Ryan needs to be fitted for a suit of tar and feathers along with a rail on which to be transported out of town.

Trump NEEDS to make it go away, period.

So much of the support he got during the campaign was because he said it would GO!

He can’t, shouldn’t, back off of that!

That would be tantamount to a Liberal victory!

RINOcare doesn’t have the votes in the House.

Where are all those people who keep saying we need 60 votes in the Senate?

This Ryan is a weak link to making America Great Again. There must still be some more swamp draining to do.

Ryan never wanted it to psss. IMHO he wants to see it fail. If and when it does, it will be telling to see if he fights to KEEP it dead. Ryan, Obama, McLame, 9th Circus, et al make me YEARN for Judgement Day.

For the sake of our country, I would celebrate if Paul Ryan dropped dead.

Ryan is apart of the “deep state.” He’s dirty and on someone’s payroll. Trump should have Ryan and everyone he knows investigated.
