Most of the Trump supporters are win-at-any-cost. Forget the context, forget the legislation, just tweet that Trump got his way and start some MAGA threads. All the while throwing the Conservatives, who recognized this bill was nothing that they wanted or had promised the American people, under the bus.

And Trump did the same with his silly “vote for it or get primaried” ultimatum.

Trump supports the tenants of BOCare, which is why he campaigned on “repeal and REPLACE.” Never just repeal.

I still want him to succeed, but he’s a NY Liberal at heart. That slip will show every so often.

That's why I think it's very possible for him to go after dems to help with other legislation. We're going to get a crappy tax bill. and crappy immigration. and crappy budgets. Maybe not full crappy but certainly not ideal if there isn't big compromise all around.

If the sides don't get together, we either get nothing done because moderate and conservatives don't agree. Or Trump dumps the conservatives and gets a few dems. He can't dump the moderates because there are no alternatives.
At some point the moderates and conservatives are going to need to work together. My hope for Trump was that he's the one to make it happen. Hopefully he did learn from the insurance debacle because it doesn't seem like congress learned anything.
