Parsing the White House response to the FIASCO

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

  1. Trump has no choice but to move on.

    I hope that he has learned from this fiasco.

  2. The question is, did Trump want Ryan to fail. It is possible that he did.

    Ryan is in trouble now.

    Given what you know of the history of Trump and Ryan, would Trump want Ryan to be in trouble?

    Yes.

  3. 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.
    Fox Segment in which Louie Gohmert also addressed this point with Lou Dobbs

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

    Rand Paul:
    #2--Health Professionals
    #10-Insurance

    Tom Price:
    #1--Health Professionals
    #2--Pharmaceuticals/Health Products
    #3--Insurance
    #6--Health Services/HMOs
    #10-Hospitals/Nursing Homes

    Paul Ryan:
    #5--Insurance
    #8--Healthcare Professionals
    #11--Pharmaceuticals/Health Products
    #13--Hospitals/Nursing Homes


    Looks like crony capitalism to me!
