1. His way would have killed thousands of people every year

so I'm glad he didn't get it this time. He's going to be a barrel of laughs this weekend, so I imagine Melania and Barron are hoping he doesn't swing by on his way to Mar A Loco.

While the destruction of the ACA might have put us closer to taking the desperate step of Medicare for all, the cost would have been very steep in terms of lives lost and misery gained.

Oh, but don't worry, Ryan really wants that tax bonanza for Donnie, this stinker will be back with "fine tuning." As a budget bill, it's dead.

Yeah, that part is good.

...would have been accountable for their actions. Ryan saved them and now they have cover.

5. Well I guess that might have been better for Democrats in 2018

But I think there will be a lot of ways to defeat Republicans before then. And they might try again.
