Good points by Rush. Many of us have been saying something slightly different, and that is that Trump is moderate to liberal on health care. He has been open about it. So, I see him actually believing in and promoting the RyanCare bill. Personally, I don’t think he would have done that without input. I don’t see Trump as a sight-unseen kind of guy.
It was also his bill.
And he truly believed he could bring costs down in phases 2 and 3.
So, that’s where Rush’s point that Trump sees those not supporting this bill as the opposition. Rush is right. There are those working with him and those working against him.
The freedom caucus sticks in his craw because they could have put him over the top but they refused. That makes them the first line opposition.
So, in my view Trump will work toward a new entitlement that has both a free market side and an entitlement side.
And he seriously wanted that 100 billion tax savings to make his tax cut plan fly.
I think he’s seriously focused on this and will trample those in his way.
“It was also his bill.”
Nonsense. It was Ryan’s bill. Trump was moving it along hoping to make changes along the way.
The Freedom Caucus made Paul Ryan speaker. Trump’s entire legislative agenda will go through him. Trump can either put up with Ryan or wait for Pelosi to take over next year.
