I blame Ryan for starting with such a ridiculous bill, knowing full well what is really needed.
Trump wants this bill too. I agree with Trump.
Trump has said he wants a good bill, and so do many people who voted for him.
As I've said since the beginning: there was zero chance that this bill would pass as introduced. Therefore, it was going to be changed. And those changes need to meet with the approval of the House Freedom Caucus, not to mention the voters who were promised repeal & replace.
Paul Ryan is the most powerful man in the Legislative branch of the federal government. The President doesn't write laws. He just says what he would like them to contain. If this law doesn't contain what was broadly outlined during the campaign, then the legislator who introduced it is not—in the face of urgent need—meeting his duty to be responsive to the people who put him in charge of that branch of government.
If we can’t get a vote on this Bill Friday
Then Ryan should resign.
Win Win
Then we get someone who is a real conservative who supported Trump before it was cool to do so.
then we
NUKE THE FILIBUSTER AND REPEAL ODUMBICARE.
