So tell us Ted, just how would passage of this crap bill have been “leading?”
It was a crap bill. But Trump got behind it and went with Ryan as his Congressional lead. So you ended up with two choices: The crap bill or a neutered, politically weakened President Trump. You didn’t get the crap bill, but you did get a much weaker President Trump (partly his own damned fault of course, for hanging his hat on Ryan). But we live with what we get. The weakened Trump makes 2018 and 2020 look like a blood bath...and single payer the ONLY option left that can pass to replace Obamacare. Free market won’t make it, the Governing Establishment will NEVER return to the free market. American voters would go bat shit crazy if they ever tried to go to free market again.
“..and single payer the ONLY option left that can pass to replace Obamacare. “
How do you figure? The GOPe in the Congress should just go back to work and do what they all promised us they would, and start with a full repeal of Obolacare. But I agree that the RINO wing has surely gotten busy early working to return the Republicans to the minority party as quickly as they can.
