Great point. Maybe after it fails he comes out and says "OK, we tried it your way, so now we should try it my way", and then have Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and the House Freedom Caucus take the lead and propose legislation that will be much closer to what Trump-voters really wanted.
If this bill fails to reach a vote, or the vote fails, it's Paul Ryan who will take the heat. Like a prime minister, it could be enough to trigger his replacement as Speaker. Wouldn't that be an interesting development?
One thing I know for sure, like I said before: President Trump, blindfolded, could beat Mr. Spock at 3D chess.
Rumors of Donald Trump's failure have been greatly exaggerated for the last 2 years straight, and I see no evidence that indicates the President will stop winning anytime soon...
Sargon, I’d like to think that’s what he’s up to, but I can’t say that I’m convinced of it. We’ll have to wait and see.
I don’t expect him to get everything right, and this may be one he winds up screwing up on. I sure hope not. It’s one of the biggest things we need to change for the better.
Get government out of health care.
I don’t mind savings accounts.
I don’t mind government unleashing insurance companies to operate across state lines.
Other than that, let those who can afford it negotiate their own health care policies. Just get out of the way.
I know government will be involved in MediCare, and MediCaid, but I’d like to see him find ways to get the MediCaid end of it down to rock bottom if he can.
