Politico: “A Wednesday evening meeting between top aides to President Trump and House Republican leaders turned heated when the White House officials exhorted Speaker Paul Ryan to show immediate progress on the GOP’s stalled plan to repeal and replace Obamacare.”

“The meeting was tense. At one point, according to three sources briefed on the meeting, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus suggested it could be detrimental to Ryan’s speakership if Republicans fail to pass a bill. Others disputed that characterization, saying the comments were not aimed specifically at Ryan but more broadly, as in: All Republican lawmakers’ jobs are in jeopardy if they don’t deliver.”

Said one person familiar with the meeting: “It was really bad. They were in total meltdown, total chaos mode.”

Jonathan Chait: Republicans are tearing each other to pieces over Trumpcare debacle.

1. Does NONE of them understand that Trump doesn't rule Congress, and that he has

no say in whether or not Ryan stays on as Speaker?

6. And a steady stream of GOPer legislatotrs and pundits

have dumped on PBO as shirking his responsibilities for eight years. Never mind that he pulled us back from the edge of the abyss where they had shoved us to. These people have truly entered into a suicide pact.
