"I know we're going to make a deal on health care, that's such an easy one," Trump told a bipartisan group of senators and spouses at a White House reception Tuesday night.

The fact remains, however, that House Republicans aren't in a different position than they were on Friday. The math is the same. Republican leaders are still struggling to satisfy two diametrically opposed forces.

...

White House press secretary Sean Spice publicly downplayed Tuesday any suggestion that there was a concerted effort to resurrect health care, only going as far as saying that there were continued conversations and exchanging of ideas.

...

"I think we're closer today to repealing Obamacare than we've ever been before, and are surely even closer than we were Friday," House Majority Whip Steve Scalise said Tuesday morning.

...

(Arkansas Republican Rep.) Womack said Republicans need to keep moving and show they can govern with their majorities in the House and Senate and Trump in the White House.

"The people who were 'yes' on the health care bill were reminding Paul this is something we promised and we got to push in that direction," Womack said. "It's more a reflection of the need to show that we can do something with our governing majority, but again it comes back to numbers. If you don't have the votes, you don't have the votes."

3. Oh, for those halcyon days when a representative could gleefully vote against Obamacare,

safe in the knowledge that the POTUS would veto anything they passed! Good times.
