    This could be politically better in the long run. If the republicans simply let obamacare COMPLETELY collapse, unchanged, as it were, then the democrats are solely responsible. Trump could say "We tried to get improvements and tried to do healthcare, but didn't happen, this is on the democrats".

    That's how I would spin it anyway...

    This thread is fake news. Can the Mods edit the title?

    I mean, this thread fraudulently implies that if the vote fails, Trump won't want to work with Rand on a better bill. And that is horse $#@!. This thread has a false premise and it is working against the mission statement of the website.
    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. From this comes hypocrisy. And where hypocrisy thrives, virtue recedes. Without virtue, liberty dies. - Justin Amash, March 2018

    As soon as Paul Ryan is out, Trump will be ready to debate health care again.

    Those tweets don't indicate that he'll give up on healthcare legislation, only that he'll give up on trying to satisfy conservatives and libertarians with healthcare legislation.

    Don't forget, the kind of reform Trump really wants is single-payer healthcare. If he can get behind a bill the Dems support, he'll only need a small minority of Republicans to join them.

    That's exactly what I said. That is his plan. But he knows it isn't going to pass, because Rand and other trustworthy folks have told him so.

    But it doesn't matter, the blame falls on Paul Ryan for this, not the President.

    If it fails, it fails in Trumps face. Does not help him. Maybe it was Ryan's bill yesterday morning, but after Ryan pulled the vote, and Trump insisted that it be held today, it became his baby.

    Besides, Paul Ryan is such a squish he will do whatever Trump tells him. I actually think Ryan would push Randcare if Trump merely asked. He didn't need to bother with this. But he wants this.

    Have any Republicans spoken against the bill on the floor yet? I've just popped in and out of CSPAN.

    I totally disagree. Trump is pushing Paul Ryan to put up or shut up.

    And again, Trump knows it is going to fail. He has been talking to Rand three times a week, one on one, and Rand said there is no way it is passing, it doesn't have the votes. So why would Trump do this if it was going to blow up in his face? He is doing it because it is going to blow up in Paul Ryan's face, because that is who is responsible for getting the votes.

    Hahhahahhaha.. no.... Paul Ryan is deep state supreme, he will only push what his masters tell him. That is why Trump needs a new speaker asap.

    It does help him if he wants to pass single-payer healthcare.

    Well, I guess that explains why Trump says he will support Ryan even if his plan fails.

    Ya, like I said that was doubling down. I totally expected this kind of behavior, Trump has to SELL IT HARD. He has to push for the bill, support Paul Ryan and make it look like he is unified with the party. Then when the vote fails, it is Paul Ryan's fault. If Trump didn't put 100% of his effort into it, and make it look like he was unified with the party, it would be framed as Trump's fault.

    Well, I got a power play for the chump. Right now, Trump only has a pretty thin margin for error if articles of impeachment are brought. I assume the democrats would vote yes reflexively, after all.

    If he wants to start threatening the political future of sizable parts of the GOP congress, he better be smart enough to realize that he needs those congressmen to continue to pretend they like him. He is, truthfully, of the weakest position in the national government.

    After all, secretly, and maybe not so secretly for some, Pence would be a whole lot more popular. Under Pence, I have no doubt we could get a bill that at least repeals the ACA, and he wouldn't be a constantly embarrassing the GOP, leaking political capital everywhere.
    Is this "take it or leave it" tactic described in The Art of the Deal?

    I thought he wasn't a politician... Even in your crazy scenario, he still comes out as the biggest politician there is. So he's not working for a good bill, he's working for political capital? Because once he has the power...

    In my scenario, Paul Ryan gets kicked out as Speaker of the House and we get a good health care bill with real free market reforms. That makes Trump a winner.

    Do you see the little double arrow next to the person's name at the top of the quote? If you click that it will take you to the post and you can read the context yourself.
