The White house is turning on speaker Ryan

CNN Breaking News
from senior administration official

White house has concerns with how Paul Ryan ran health care issues , they are complaining he didn't work hard enough or early enough to bring in house freedom caucus members. The GOP leadership had a very tense meeting tonight; per Dana Bash.

All week they have been saying they are about to pass the bill, now they are beginning to turn on each other.

I know it a bit early and that they have one more chance tomorrow to pass that monstrosity but ,

Groper and Pence have serious issues - Ryan is laughing in the background flexing muscles.

and all of a sudden I hear that Pence and his wife will be at one of the big games tonight.
Looks like they know we know he's been missing

Nunes had gone to Ryan to check with him before doing everything he did. Looks like Ryan is in deep but he is managing to keep his name out of all this.

Ryan is a repulsive specimen. I had just posted a piece expressing my dislike of him. Thanks for this!

It could have been anyone, because HE never accepts any responsibility.

Wasn't this the Dump's strategy all along?. To blame Ryan (if/when) this thing fails?

I know I read that weeks ago.
