Repeal Of Obamacare Died From Sneaky Snakebite

The sneaky snake has a name: Paul Ryan. The old dino has been entertaining the theory that the failure to repeal Obamacare is precisely what GOP House Speaker hoped to happen--even though he trotted out his own replacement, which came to be called Obamacare Lite.
I wonder if Ryan got a discrete call from O this weekend to again hear, "Thank you for making government work."
I recall Lou Dobbs comparing Paul Ryan to the same kind of snake Trump speaks of in the primary link (I latched on three more).
Trump evidently knows what a snake is but trusted Ryan to push his promised repeal of Obamacare through.
Now Trump wants to put the repeal on the back-burner and push for lowering taxes. Whoa, wait! I thought I heard Trump say that lowering taxes first hinged on repealing Obamacare.
Oh, well, what do I know? The Son Of Boehner (SOB) knows way more about that kinda stuff than I ever could.

    Well, they are in hot water now. Trump won on draining the swamp, and they have shown they ARE a big part of the swamp !! Trump can only slow things down, not make major changes in the march to socialism. The repubs better get on board or they will lose their slim majority in the congress and nothing can happen after that. At least Trump can veto really bad stuff, which is better than we had with Obama, or would have had with Hildebeast.

    Political parties in general are the problem. George Washington warned us not to allow them

    the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.

    "...It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."

    Every single thing he warned against has come true. Even to the government system being influenced for 60 years by the will and policy of the Communists.

    Ryan IS a snake. I never liked him since he gave Obama a big budget and then he refused to endorse Trump for so long. Judge Jeanine was right to call for him to step down. He loves Power, and thats what the swamp is made of

    ALL of them looting us in Washington D.C. are "birds of a feather." THEY as a group have ABSOLUTELY no interest in giving up the obamacare program. WE were told that it would be repealed for 7 years so you would think they would have at some point developed a new (?) insurance plan. Of course that would have meant work of some sort. NOT a chance.

    Republicans control the big three, and they let Obamacare stand. Cowards!

    Even if they think it will fail later...perhaps when the democrats control all three, and taxes go to the moon.

    I blame Ryan for the Bait and Switch he did, but he did not do it alone. Getting Trump to go into it, you know that other Wisconsin boy, COS Reince Priebus had to whispering in Trump's ear to get him to bite into it. So, Speaker Ryan and COS Priebus, where is the 2015 repeal plan that you promised would be brought back up? Are you afraid that We, The People want to take power from the District of Corruption? This stinks to Holy Establishment tactics and the ringleaders are Ryan and Priebus.

    No, I'm not either. But I have to give some of the Conservatives credit for hanging tough. Maybe they actually gave a hard look at the last election

    I've repeatedly called those elites "the more than equal elite betters," the first half of that inspired by Animal Farm and the rest by the virtual aristocracy George Orwell's pigs so splendidly dwell in. I know that farm is supposed to be a communist commune but what the heck?
    The good Republicans who care more about this country than themselves are those patriots among that ruling class who are now pushing for term limits.
    I'm not holding my breath for such a miracle to happen, though.

    Both parties have a lot to answer for....well, maybe the Democrats more so, but both parties are home to the elites, ruling class, the establishment...call them what you will. As long as they can live behind brick walls with hired protection, send their children to private schools, and go to the same country clubs, they don't care what happens to the rest of us. As long as they can make the laws that they don't have to live by, they are pleased with themselves.

    It's not everybody in the GOP, but the fetid swamp that needs to be drained does not exclusively belong to the Jackass Party.

    The GOP has been rotten at the core since it was founded in the 1850's. It is not the solution; it's part of the problem.
