Paul Ryan

[Miles Archer]

15. Ryan went down the tubes with Republicans controlling the House...

...Republicans controlling the Senate, and a Republican President who would have rubber stamped anything that made it through the House and Senate.

I do not believe for a minute that he's going to be given the opportunity to lead the charge on whatever new health care legislation, if any, emerges from the Trump presidency.

Trump moaned about the fact that he got no help from Democrats on this (largely because he did not ask, but even if he did, what Democrat would want their name attached to Ryan's "better way" plan?)

There will be no "help" from Democrats as long as healthcare reform involves a $2.8 billion payday for millionaires and up.

First step for healthcare reform under Trump, if that is even possible, is to take Ryan completely out of the picture. And the only reason Trump would do that is that the egg on his face today was laid by Ryan.

I think we're going to see one train wreck after another, and then, in 2018, we're going to take back the House and Senate.
