I really don't think Donald Trump is dumb enough to come down hard on anyone who opposed a House bill that had the support of 17% of the people in this country.

You do not understand. Trumpcare was what President Trump wanted and the Conservatives took his toy away from him and he will make them pay. If it hurts the rest of the country, so be it. He will get even and it does not matter who's toes he steps on.

This is business and President Trump is a businessman and a wheeler dealer deal maker.

Trumpcare was what President Trump wanted ...

No, it wasn't. President Trump wanted it because that was the bill that was cobbled together by the House leadership. If the bill repealed Obamacare and replaced with a single-payer system he would have supported it. If the bill repealed Obamacare and replaced it with another bill that was identical to Obamacare he would have supported it. If the bill required everyone in the U.S. to get a lobotomy he would have supported it. He's been all over the map on this issue and got himself involved in a process that was completely out of his control.

If Trump really wanted that bill then I would ask two questions:

1. Why didn't he make a single nationally televised appeal to lay out the terms of the bill and explain to Americans why it was a good idea?

2. Why would he ever accept a rushed, half-assed process with an artificial deadline set by Paul Ryan that was only established so it would coincide with the anniversary of the original Obamacare legislation? Trump probably spent more time figuring out the paint color schemes for Trump Tower than he spent working on a this bill.
