Maybe not losing. Obama Care is still stuck on the Dims. If the Repubs had passed something it would be blasted by the FAKE news media and all sort of horrible results would be on the Repubs shoulders. So DJT should modify OC as he can to make it worse!
Passing RyanCare would have been losing, too. The only win was to repeal. THEN fight about the replacement. When it’s gone, Congress may have some urgency to put in something that the people like. Right now dems don’t want to switch and Republicans don’t want to cut the cord completely.
