    Sounds about right. 37% will buy it.

      Nope. Trump blames the Democrats.

      House Republican leaders, facing a revolt among conservatives and moderates in their ranks, pulled legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act from consideration on the House floor Friday afternoon in a humiliating defeat for President Trump on the first legislative showdown of his presidency.

      Paul D. Ryan, the House speaker, rushed to the White House shortly after noon to tell Mr. Trump he did not have the votes for a repeal bill that had been promised for seven years — since the day President Barack Obama signed his landmark health care act into law.

      Mr. Trump, in a telephone interview moments after the bill was pulled, blamed Democrats and predicted that they would seek a deal within a year, he asserted, after “Obamacare explodes” because of high premiums.

      He expressed weariness with the fight.

      “The best thing that could happen is exactly what happened — watch,” he said. “It’s enough already,” he added.

        Everyone, enjoy your new Trumpcare plan. Much better than Obamacare.

        Edit: Re Trump's statement. which means they're gonna do everything they can behind the scenes to cripple Obamacare.
        What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

          This may be worse. He may succeed in ringing it around Democrat's necks and cause it to fail at the same time. After him being elected nothing surprises.

              Can the mainstream media now stop licking Paul Ryan's a ss? "Policy wonk" and all that other nonsense. How about "impotent fukup" to describe him? Some other thoughts:

              1) Its not going to work to "let Obamacare collapse on itself". Its not collapsing. In order to accomplish that, Goopers would need to pass laws restricting funding for example. Dems will obviously block that in the Senate. In the meantime, if premiums increase or the public loses insurance, they aren't going to be looking to Nancy Pelosi to fix it. They're going to be looking at Ryan-Trump-Itch.

              2) I don't know the effect of this on the rest of the knucks' agenda, but its not a good sign. Basically the freedumb caucus rule the roost, even staring down Trump. When tax reform comes up, they're basically going to demand a tax rate of zero. CBO is going to kill them on the effect on the deficit. Trump's best bet is to tackle the wall next because he probably has the votes in the House fairly easily. He can't afford another high profile defeat.

                  Ryan listens to Papa Roach? Confirmation he's just a fratboy dooshbag.

                  He gave a press conference a while ago, Word was he was having a hard time concealing how bitter and PO'ed he was.

                            While it's funny to hear Ryan and don being so butthurt blaming the Democrats- don's 37% is all in on that.

                            Even though they were in the very solid minority, and the house should have been the easy side to force this through.

                            And they will also get more blame for not doing what don says.
