Paul Ryan Tells Trump Votes Are Lacking to Repeal Obamacare
According to the NY Times, House Speaker Paul Ryan is “facing a revolt among conservative and moderate Republicans.” He had to run over to the White House to inform Trump that they don’t have enough Republicans to pass Trumpcare. Now, they have to decide if they will pull the bill from consideration.
This will be a humiliating loss for Republicans who have been trying to repeal Obamacare for seven years. And now that Trump demanded a vote, this will be a big public loss for Republicans.
Of course, Trump will try to blame any one but himself for the defeat – even targeting the House Freedom Caucus on Twitter.
The irony is that the Freedom Caucus, which is very pro-life and against Planned Parenthood, allows P.P. to continue if they stop this plan!
