I think it's a power play to force Ryan's hand. Ryan is going to come off looking completely incompetent and Trump is going to come in and help them pass something acceptable after Ryan is gone.

More Kabuki from the GOP, Rinocare was never going to pass and the establishment wanted to keep the clusterfuck of Obamacare. It will be blamed on the few Conservatives left and they will be subsequently destroyed; welcome to the Progressive future, left and right.

Few want to acknowledge or seem to grasp that in the end it was never getting repealed or replaced without 60 votes in the Senate so eight Democrats would be needed. It was never getting to Trump's desk for a signature or veto regardless of what the House does today or Monday or whenever with the current Senate makeup and rules.
The House should have straight up repealed it like they have frequently done in the past then that repeal would die in the Senate, which is the most I was expecting. Then the Republicans could campaign in 2018 on needing to add Senate seats to push the repeal through. No one (that understands how this works anyway) honestly believed Obamacare was going anywhere without 60 Senate votes. They aren't going to get the votes to change the rules to eliminate the filibuster on legislation with this crew either. |

What option is there? The RINOS will block the conservatives from a full repeal. This is the closest compromise the GOP can possibly agree on. What can Trump do?

Have most of you actually read what's in this reconciliation?
It will make Obamacare seem like a walk in the park. There is literally nothing added to reduce costs, it removes things that would limit costs, and keeps things that will raise costs. I'm all for repealing Obamacare, but that can't be accomplished through reconciliation. It needs full repeal and a total rewrite. This is a faster way to implosion, except the Republicans will be blamed for it, and it will cause the implosion to accelerate. Trump is making the correct move - I surmise he may have known Ryan wouldn't be able to pull it together. With the current setup, he can blame Ryan and move on to the budget. I'd much rather NOT let Obamacare implode in order to fix it, but that may be the only way if the Dem's will filibuster any attempt at full repeal. |

Obama was the head of the Democrats, Bush was the head of the Republicans and so on. Trump can't say that the Republicans screwed up and say he had nothing to do with it.

But given where we are now, he's making the correct move. He CAN blame Ryan for this. The President is the leader of the party but is dependent on Congress to act so he can sign. If his own party is sabotaging his work, it's an option to fight them. Ryan and company are no stranger to fucking things up. The good news is Trump is handling this different than politicians. A politician would either force something through that is garbage or keep whining about it and inevitably get nothing done. Trump is cutting his losses and moving on to something more productive. - I don't think every move he's made is the correct one, but he's doing things different than Ryan and company did in the past. |

Not necessarily a bad idea. With no mandate, ACA WILL implode. The question is how soon. Hopefully, Repubs are in control when it does and they can shape the replacement.

Terrible idea. It makes most of Obamacare permanent. View Quote The only thing I can think is this is a gamble by Trump. He has basically given Ryan what he wants, and has come out publicly and supported Ryan's efforts. So, if the Ryan Bill fails, trump can then say, "see, I tried to work with these people. The house of representatives has failed to pass legislation to repeal Obamacare. See how ineffective they are, we need new House leadership!" Of course, the downside is that, if the bill actually passes, Trump has put himself in a position that he basically has to sign it or he will be seen for a liar for giving all of his support to the bill. But, as has been pointed out, it doesn't look like this thing will make it out of the Senate even if the else manages to pass it. So, I'm holding out hope that Trump continues to play for 4-D chess and is about to put his enemies in the GOP establishment over a barrel.
