Reality is that without GOP unity, nothing can get done. Do you deny it? WHY SHOULD TRUMP WASTE HIS TIME on this endeavor when unity cannot be achieved?
Why the turnaround on Trump, Jazz? He's still a liar and a cheat, and on both sides of every issue out there. Why take his side (if he even has one)?
GOP unity can be achieved with good leadership, and the common goal of removing Obamacare. IF Ryan and Trump actually believe in that (Ryan may, Trump doesn't), then why don't they exercise some leadership and do some convincing rather than try to pass a liberal monstrosity?
It's THEIR job to make it work. They were chosen to LEAD. It's only over if TRUMP and RYAN want to keep Obamacare, or Obamacare II.
The LC wants to do what they were elected to do. Ryan should help them by crafting an intelligent bill to repeal the government stranglehold over our health and very lives, and Trump, in his infinite wisdom, should sign it.
It can only be done if Trump decides to be honest and do what he claimed (every other time he claimed something), and lead a Republican Congress to fulfill its promise, and if Ryan does the nitty gritty work to get it done.
Blaming the LC for Ryan's and Trump's abject failure is irrational. And blaming them for keeping Obamacare borders on insanity.
