    Asked explicitly whether President Trump has confidence in Ryan remaining as Speaker, White House press secretary Sean Spicer would not answer Breitbart News, yes or no.

    Trump unhappy Jared Kushner took a powder on the ski slopes as health care bill floundered

    While the rest of his senior staff scrambled to squeeze votes for President Trump's flailing health care package, one person remained notably absent for most of the week: Jared Kushner.

    Along with this wife, Ivanka Trump, another key cog in the president's inner circle, Kushner was on vacation until Thursday, skiing with family in the posh Colorado town of Aspen. Paparazzi caught Jared and Ivanka taking leisurely strolls, enjoying ice cream cones with their three kids and winding their way down the slopes.

    Meanwhile, back in Washington, Trump was fuming. According to a source close to the president, "[Trump] is upset that his son-in-law and senior adviser was not around during this crucial week." Kushner did appear at the White House on Friday during the last gasps of the Obamacare repeal effort.

    A White House spokesperson flatly denied the President is frustrated with Kushner.

    But it was clearly a busy week at the White House. As the health care bill teetered on the precipice without enough Republican votes to pass it, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the President "left everything on the field" in his efforts to get the bill passed. Republicans ultimately pulled the bill without a vote, a blow to Trump's early agenda.

    It has not been entirely clear what specific role Kushner, who has no Capitol Hill or Washington background, would have played in a legislative effort.

    When Ivanka and the kids took off for Aspen last weekend, sharing a ride on Trump's private 757 jet with Donald Trump, Jr. and his family and Eric and Lara Trump, Jared did stay behind in Washington. However, he only worked Monday, and by that evening was himself flying out to join the rest of the Trump clan. On Tuesday, an Instagram photo from Lara Trump showed Kushner and Ivanka on top of a mountain.
    Trump complained about a lack of Democratic support for the bill when he did not speak to a single Democrat about it to try to win them over. He had a majority of his own party but could not get enough of them to support the legislation either.

    Yeah, here's the next move.

    Trump said he would not ask Republican leaders to reintroduce the legislation in the coming weeks. Instead, he said he would wait for the current law encounter problems, believing that Democrats will want to work with the White House to make changes.

    “As you know, I’ve been saying for years that the best thing is to let Obamacare explode and then go make a deal with the Democrats and have one unified deal. And they will come to us, we won’t have to come to them,” he said.

    “The beauty,” Trump continued, “is that they own Obamacare. So when it explodes they come to us and we make one beautiful deal for the people.”


    Trump said he had no problem waiting for Democrats to seek cooperation with Republicans on health-care.

    “I never said I was going to repeal and replace in the first 61 days,” he said.

    In fact, Trump said repeatedly as a candidate and before his inauguration that he would work to repeal the ACA on his first day in office. And congressional Republicans have spent the last seven years campaigning to undo the law.

    Nope, because the RINOs (moderates) would not have voted for it, or would have been absent from the chamber during the vote. They are scared of the Dems being able to accuse them of taking away everyone's healthcare.

    Well Matt, they would have to at least record a "present" to help defeat and keep the needed number of "ayes" for a majority from the yes/no/present total.

    That aside, Ryan lost his RINO clan yesterday (some solid "no" and I suspect some "present" GOP votes) while the Freedom Caucus held the line.

    Wisconsin Republicans seem to understand.

    Not presenting this as evidence, just an interesting possiblity, from fake news of course. One may presume the opposite is true.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/25/u...?smid=tw-share

    But his advisers were more realistic. Mr. Trump’s chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, according to people familiar with White House discussions, described what happened as a flat-out failure that could inflict serious damage on this presidency — even if Mr. Bannon believes Congress, not Mr. Trump, deserves much of the blame.

    Mr. Bannon and the president’s more soft-spoken legislative affairs director, Marc Short, pushed Mr. Trump hard to insist on a public vote, as a way to identify, shame and pressure “no” voters who were killing their last, best chance to unravel the health care law.

    One Hill Republican aide who was involved in the last-minute negotiations said Mr. Bannon and Mr. Short were seeking to compile an enemies list. But Mr. Ryan repeatedly counseled the president to avoid seeking vengeance — at least until he has passed spending bills and a debt-ceiling increase needed to keep the government running.
    Partisan politics, misleading or emotional bill titles, and 4D chess theories are manifestations of the same lie—that the text of the Constitution, the text of legislation, and plain facts do not matter; what matters is what you want to believe.

    LOL, Ryan delivers a GWB-worthy quote : 'We're not going to give up on destroying the health care system'

    President Trump, through his budget director, Mick Mulvaney, told House Republicans on Thursday night that he was giving them this one chance to repeal the Affordable Care Act

    Maybe that did happen . . . I really do not know/speculate about that, nor can confirm via youtube what I watched live via CSPAN's courtesy coverage to non-cable US citizens during the GOP House Stakeout, revealed after Priebus and Bannon walked out of the full GOP House Member meeting where they voted to vote - no holds barred.

    Yep. Trump gives Ryan full support but I kinda think that bromance is over now - wonder who survives ?

    4D chess is hard - all those multimatrix (if ya' speak Linux OpenSCAD)
    I could be wrong of course, but maybe it is Trump's move after RINO Ryan went into hyperspace . . . checkers ?

    True. But, it was already messed up before ObamaCare too.

    Exactly. Republicans are terrified of taking away the "preexisting condition" part of Obamacare. That's the part that makes it socialized healthcare and the part that makes it guaranteed to collapse. I heard a couple of conservative representatives on Hannity and they couldn't even utter the phrase "preexisting condition". They kept saying the "the regulation in the bill that drives up prices."

    If this fight wore him out, it is going to be a long four years.
    In a bizarre way Trump is right. Paul Ryan could have pushed Rand's bill and received 100% republican support. The "moderate" (socialist) republicans who don't really want a full repeal wouldn't have had the guts to face the tea party backlash had the voted against a clean repeal. Libtards are getting all of the press on the town halls because the teocons are too giddy over recent victories to worry. But let a republican vote against a clean repeal and see what happens. This bill was the dems last best hope to save Obamacare. They blew it.

    I think a lot of republicans want to keep Obamacare so they can have something bad to blame on democrats every election.
