Paul Ryan is lucky that President Trump has been backing him up on this (even though Mr. President shouldn't)

Because the truth of the matter is that paul ryan has been shoving his better way bill in everyone's face for months.

Uh, moderates are fine with Obamacare. The only one hurt by this is Trump. People who think this hurts Ryan are kidding themselves, or don’t know the makeup of the GOP. He has to get 215 votes to pass ANY bill, and the freedom caucus is a mere fraction of that. But people expect Trump to somehow pass the perfect bill with zero support.

Brilliant. It’s like I’m reading the Huff Post liberals saying we need to model after Europe or nothing to Obama again.

A message to moderates?? LOL. The moderates and establishment like the bill and are going to vote for it. It is the conservatives saying, wait a minute - not so fast.
