here’s what i think:
The enemedia and RINO NeverTrump articles about this so-called “failure” are all delusional, and the best part is that they actually believe their own delusions.
I heard President Trump say a few weeks ago that his administration wouldn’t be addressing obamacare repeal and replace until late 2017 to early 2018 (basically when obamacare would be facing complete collapse), so I can’t wait to watch these fools freak the F out when his administration introduces a REAL repeal and replace bill 9 months from now.
As far as President Trump was concerned, RyanCare was nothing but a red herring intended to take Paul Ryan out of all future equations about everything.
RyanCare was a real abortion of a bill, written by the insurance companies who were the only ones who were going to benefit from its passage. The insurance companies clearly had this bill already in hand, and I feel certain had cut a deal with Paul Ryan BEFORE the election, fully expecting HILLARY CLINTON to be President, but believing that some Pub House votes would be needed to get the bill through the House.
RyanCare was actually SUPPOSED to have been HillaryCare, which was why the original RyanCare bill preserved 99.9% of obamacare, and it supposed to have been Hillary’s gift to the insurance companies, while simultaneously shafting Trump’s voters, who are the people who would have suffered the worse under HillaryCare/RyanCare, with even higher premiums than we pay now.
Ryan went ahead with HillaryCare anyway, thinking he could bulldoze the House into screwing their own constituencies even worse than happened with obamacare. If this had passed, Ryan also knew that it would totally sink Trump’s ship before four years was out, which was another major goal of Ryan’s, namely, to try to destroy President Trump before 2020.
The Freedom Caucus saved Trump’s bacon whether he knows it or not.
I like your analysis and hope it comes true that by this time next year we are discussing a ‘real’ repeal/replace ObamaCare bill.
Paul Ryan has shown himself to be totally under the control of the Corporate Masters. In this case Ryan simply did the bidding of the health insurance industry to maximize their profits and, in turn, maximize the health insurance industry campaign contributions to Ryan’s Rinos and the Democrats.
Just think about it ...
Everything about Donald Trump is grand and ambitious -- even to the point where it might be ridiculous and unrealistic. Why the hell would he go out on a limb and support a House bill that offered nothing of substance to the people who elected him? This was the equivalent of buying one crappy building in the Cabrini Green housing project and calling it Trump Tower Chicago.
I'm not exactly sure what Trump's long-term objective is here, and his Twitter message this morning is mystifying to say the least ... but that pile of nonsense served up by Ryan sure couldn't have been a part of it.
