Wow, the Trumpcare bill failed. Really, wow. I was putting a brave face on it but now I have discovered that it failed, I’m almost crying. I will probably even have an uncharacteristic alcoholic beverage to celebrate.

Can we put to rest the following myths?
a) That businessmen can be good politicians and ‘get things’ done’? Hell, half of the time they aren’t even good at business!
b) Pual Ryan is a serious policy wonk. lol.
Among other things, this will embolden moderate republicans even more. He demanded a vote and dared them to vote no on it, and like a coward pulled the bill.
Matt, feel free to tell us how Trump is playing 12D chess here. Remember, this is the honeymoon period of this midget. lol.

Remember The Art of the Deal? This is somebody who is about to stun us all with his great deal-making skill. Any day now. Keep waiting. He’s almost ready to do it. In another 100 years, for sure. It’s coming.

High energy too! Lobbied for a bill for 3 weeks then says fuck it, I’m going home to take a vacation. Obama lobbied for his healthcare bill for an year.

That Obama did nothing but play golf and go on expensive vacations. A Republican president would never do that.

Remember The Art of the Deal?
I remember seeing the ghost author saying he regrets writing it and that there were so many falsities… There’s this reoccurring pattern of people making deals or doing things for the man and regretting it.
He either didn’t want to work or he’s always been in positions where he’s not dealing with others as an equal on a ground where they have all the same information. Everything I’ve heard about the man points to all these people willing to throw money at him all over the place for inexplicable reasons, at least once (if you believe Maddow’s reporting he was a conduit for others to launder money)
They actually didn’t need any Democratic votes to pass that bill. Those Republicans would’ve literally tripped over themselves to pass something stupid if he managed not to gratuitously and indiscriminately insult everyone for two minutes. And then he tries to require NDAs of everyone that does anything for him, even volunteer…As a result everyone “leaks” like a sieve and leaves all of this sensitive information all over the place while he whines like a child about the “deep state” and Obama wiretapping him. LMAO. Do they quote anyone anymore or is it all anonymous sources?

I am worried by the reports that some Republicans didn’t support it because the cuts weren’t draconian enough…

Yes, there is a faction among them that is too deranged even by the very low Republican standards.

The “Freedom Caucus” stands for “freedom from taxes for the rich.” The final vote would have been a disaster, since Ryan was bending over so far for the ultra-conservatives that he chased away the moderates. When a guy like Rodney Frelinghuysen abandons the bill (old NJ money, dating back to when the Dutch owned NYC), the GOP has a problem. After all, as Chair of Ways and Means, he is one of those who define what the “party line” is in the House. He came out in opposition on Friday morning, and that’s when Trump’s world really collapsed.

Not a great idea to evoke everyone’s daddy issues. “You can’t tell me what to do, dad! I’m an adult!”
