From Politico:
“This is 100 percent a Ryan failure. His plan and Tom Price is his guy,” one senior administration official said after the bill was pulled.
IMO, that's BANNON
Another view:
“Trump feels like Ryan did everything right,” one senior administration official said. “He has no ax to grind with Paul Ryan. … He’s ready to move on to other things.”
IMO, that's PRIEBUS
My view? Ryan took a terrible strategy as far as it would go. And Lee refused to listen to Longstreet and take ground the Union would have to attack someplace else, instead he took his strategy as far as it would go.
Pickett.
A bad strategy perfectly carried out hardly ever succeeds.
A good strategy poorly carried out almost always gets the job done.
PERIOD
Trump has no choice but to move on.
ReplyDeleteI hope that he has learned from this fiasco.
The question is, did Trump want Ryan to fail. It is possible that he did.
ReplyDeleteRyan is in trouble now.
Given what you know of the history of Trump and Ryan, would Trump want Ryan to be in trouble?
Yes.
As described at TheConservativeTreehouse. . .Paul Ryan (as is every elected politician) is just an elected salesman for the legislation which is actually written by lobbying interests.

Some items I've gleaned from Facebook. All information about these lobby contributions has substantiating links from OpenSecrets.org.
