actually indicate? WHY weren't they there, knowing Rump would be displeased?

Perhaps the Kushners do not really support destroying the ACA, saw disaster coming, and found no good way they could steer it to anything they cared to support. Or perhaps they're just distancing themselves from a hopeless loss and hoping Bannon, Ryan, McConnell, Tom Price, others will end up blamed for it.

Btw, according to Salon, Breitbart and wingnuts radio are focusing their Trumpcare rage on Tom Price.
