Trump gave Paul Rino enough rope to hang himself.
I truly hope that this is what this means.
My take as well. This is cold-blooded throat-cutting politics. Trump is publicly supporting Ryan. He publicly supported the bill, too. And he still may end up with what he wanted in the first place.
Or not. Because for this to work, it has to work. But somewhere Machiavelli might just be snickering...
I wouldn’t doubt if that was his plan all along, his way of getting Ryan out of the way for good.
Bingo!
That's what I've been thinking. I wouldn't doubt if Trump only gave a half-hearted effort to "negotiate," knowing that a failure would weaken Ryan enough to be replaced with someone who has his back.
I think Trump just out-Ryaned Ryan.
“Trump gave Paul Rino enough rope to hang himself.”
almost the exact words I sent out to my little email list of folks I help keep informed:
“So, was President Trump’s apparent support of the outrageously terrible RyanCare bill simply a ploy to give
Ryan enough rope to hang himself and get rid of him?”
