Republican disarray on Trumpcare continues even in recess
House Republicans are no closer to consensus on Trumpcare now than they were when it so disastrously failed just three weeks ago, not even making it to the House floor because Speaker Paul Ryan couldn't get his conference unified. Even though it's recess, and even though Ryan gave everyone talking points full of pablum about how they were making good progress on a bill, they are most definitely not all on the same page. At Talking Points Memo, Tierney Sneed rounds up what members from each faction are telling voters back home, and it's definitely not the Ryan line.
You've got the Freedom Caucus types "dancing on the AHCA's grave.

Perhaps the only Republicans enjoying fielding Obamacare questions at events in their districts are those who were key to the repeal bills defeat.
It didnt repeal Obamacare, Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), a vocal AHCA critic, said at a town hall. It basically restructured Obamacare, and it didnt resolve any of the problems, and in fact some of the changes would have made Obamacare even worse.
