Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said on Sunday that he believes there is still "a good chance" Republicans can unite along the ideological spectrum to repeal and replace Obamacare.

"I still believe that there is a good chance, if moderates and conservatives can come together, that we repeal and replace Obamacare," Meadows said on ABC's "This Week."

He brushed off President Donald Trump's tweet from earlier Sunday morning claiming that "Democrats are smiling in D.C." over the bill's implosion.

"If they're applauding, they shouldn't, because I can tell you that conversations over the last 48 hours are really about how we come together in the Republican conference and try to get this over the finish line," Meadows said. He said the bill, which was pulled half an hour before it was set to go to the floor on Friday for a vote, was "not a final passage."

6. I knew they'd not fall over and not try again

Anyone who thought that, don't understand how evil the repugs are. Plus to do nothing for 3 years plus is not something they'd do.
