The White House tried very hard Friday to send a clear message that the success of President Donald Trumps tax and infrastructure agenda does not turn on the fate of the Obamacare replacement bill. House Speaker Paul Ryan, only minutes after pulling his health care bill, appeared to at least partially contradict that.
Yes. This does make tax reform more difficult, Ryan said. But it does not in any way make it impossible.
Even though Ryan went on to say the House would proceed with tax reform, he appeared to be far less optimistic than the two top Trump administration economic officials who spoke earlier on Friday. White House budget director Mick Mulvaney and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin both had essentially the same message Friday morning: plans for tax reform, job creation, trade deals, and infrastructure spending remain intact regardless of what happen to the health care bill.
Standing on the White House lawn Friday morning, Mulvaney told CNBC that President Trump decided to stop negotiating with lawmakers over the healthcare bill because he has other things he wants to do.
He wants to get tax reform done. He wants an infrastructure bill approved. Hes got other jobs programs moving through the White House, Mulvaney said.

Then repeal Obamacare outright, flipping bastion!
The middle class is bearing the burden of this sorry ash law, and buying healthcare directly from the carriers, then being taxed for having an unqualified Plan under O-care.
Communists never could accept a middle class. Under their 20th Century perspective there can only be two classes. The people and the elites, safe behind your fence, eh Ryan?
"We COULD have just repealed it, but
instead, I made half your supporters leave you.,
After your impeachment,
Romney and I will take your place in only two years."
He should be fired for his attitude alone.
We will have to wrest control of this country from our own government at the barrel of a gun.
Dems/Repubs..same same...they do not represent the people. Owned by big corporations and the rich.
Good question. We need a smart, tough, hard-working negotiator.
President Trump Makes a Statement on Healthcare Law

Cantorize this RYNO.. and all his RINO allies. No money to the RNC.
It’s way past time for Ryan to step aside.
He’s a bull headed amateur in over his head.
Any man who couldn’t build a coalition in his own party to kill Obamacare is worthless.
I guess if Paul Ryno can't handle it, nobody can...
He of the Perpetual Smirk needs his butt kicked all the way back to Wisconsin. This guy has accomplished absolutely nothing as Speaker other than screw things up. He likely could not even accomplish getting laid in a whorehouse.
Exactly my thought. Hey, honey, if you can't handle the responsibility; move over and let someone else do it who isn't such a whiner.
Your premise is fallacious
You assume the anti government conservative holdouts can be convinced to participate in governance because some else is speaker
Translation...
Paul Ryan Sends Message That He Will NOT Work With President Trump On Tax Reform Since Ryancare Is Officially Dead
Rat Boy Ryan needs to be removed. He’s a joke and a Globalist Stooge
It’s Amazing to me that the Republicans tried to stop Obamacare for 7 years.
Yet NOW when the Republicans have a President that will repeal it.... the Republicans DEMAND some type of compromise with the Democrats that pretty much keeps the old Obamacare in place under a different name.
