Yeah, the real repeal and replace bill will be unveiled Monday.

It will be tied in the House and, in a shocking cliffhanger twist, Nancy Pelosi will cast the tiebreaking vote in its favor as she laughs maniacally and throws on a red Make America Great Again cap.

Viewers will be on pins and needles until the September season premiere.

Only koolaid drinkers.




Anyone who paid attention and ignored the "my hair is on fire" hand waving knew that the AHCA was DOA and Trump was just playing politics. But of course, Trump is too dumb for that. It is going to be hard trying to explain to my kids how two of the dumbest republicans ever held the office of President for a combined 16 yrs.

Trump and Ryan fricked it up. They should have been more thoughtful and made sure they had a coalition....and they didn't reach to a single moderate Democrat. Not a single one.

I don't know what the big hurry was other Trump wanted to look alpha and ram it through and say he did it...I question how much he even understands the nuances it. I think Trump is more interested in taxes, trade, and defense than healthcare.

This is true, Trump never uttered a single coherent thought or plan on how to fix health care during the election. On the issue he is pretty much a rudderless ship, hardly a shock the whole thing ended in disaster.

Honestly, if you printed out and read many of his responses to questions about major issues such as healthcare, it was a word salad of BS. Trump's answers were the verbal equivalent of a Rorschach test.

Correct.

Sometimes a loss is just a loss. There may be good consequences to come of this or there may not be. Those of faith have to believe that there was some design or purpose behind what happened here and no evidence to the contrary will convince them otherwise.

He had to support it because of Ryan. Trump does not like Ryan but has to pretend that he likes him becaue he needs his vote.
