1. Let him say it

publicly and then maybe I'll believe him. Nah...no chance I wouldn't believe this lying sack of ####

4. yeah i'm not buying the self-doubt bit. his idea of expressing "regret" is trying to fire ryan.

then he can also "regret" that he can't just legally fire all the people he has to work with....

8. dolt is stymied by the

government hierarchy. He doesn't understand anything about it and therefore just barges ahead thinking he can control everything without how the system works. Does the system work? Generally. yes. Does it need improvement? Also generally yes. As with anything, it can be improved.

Dolt45 is out of his league.

2. too bad we can't have a president who's actually good at deal-making and project management.

3. Oops,got to deflect.

It is Ryan's fault,that's the ticket.

[Heartstrings]

5. That's because if it loses, he can say he wasn't behind it......

that's his "out", heaven forbid he should ever take accountability...

6. of course he does

if it goes down tomorrow, he has to have to someone else to blame why it failed while he was holding Touch Myself Rallies.

7. what did he hope to do instead ?

10. Tax cuts. No Republican can resist them.

[frazzled]

11. Dispose of all the bad hombres

Or make America great again. I don't know which was his first priority. I think maybe they're sort of related.

9. Odd; just a couple of days ago, Trump knew that gutting health care had to come first

Trump, obviously coached to the max, acknowledged that gutting health care had to come first. That would provide the spending cuts to open the door for the massive transfer of the Treasury into the pockets of the wealthy, aka tax cuts totaling more than $880 billion over the next ten years.

By law (yeah, I know), they can't move on to tax cuts without without commensurate spending cuts. It wouldn't surprise me that that little tidbit has slipped Trump's mind.

13. Looks to me like Trump and Ryan have quite the power struggle going on...

What is odd, to me, is how quiet Ryan seems to be about the POTUS pushing congress around...

This situation has lots of moving parts, with failure very likely.
