"According to the Wall Street Journal, the administration swallowed hard on the budget bill in hopes of getting enough votes to scuttle Obamacare."
Please.
The new Repeal and Replace is just as crappy as the old Repeal and Replace and actually does NEITHER. Obamacare isn't getting scuttled. As demonstrated by this budget debacle, the GOP and Trump doesn't have the spine to scuttle squat.
