I was trying to make a humorous reference to your unfortunate malapropic term: “phallic-victory” but it went right by you. You surely must have meant “pyrric victory”.
But it’s key.
Starting the ‘gaming’ after the bill was written is pointless.
That seems to be how Trump is looking at it, but his shots at the HFC may be of a more general nature.
(Frankly, I just don’t believe he’s that foolish.)
Or, the HFC refused an offer to participate in the original drafting- in which case they were foolish (and ‘nasty’).
It might be fun to imagine what a phallic victory might look like. Dare we ask Laz? I’m sure Trump will have many more phallic victories.
Focusing on HFC is a sideshow. If Ryan produced a bill to repeal ACA the situation would not have occurred. Ryan, and I suspect a significant number of Republicans, do not want to repeal ACA. And they want to remain concealed, so the vote was canceled. Additionally, Ryan’s roll out of the bill was inept. He never wanted to succeed.
