How soon?


How soon does tRump turn on McConnel and Ryan?
You know the big Repub civil war is coming.

I predict sooner rather than later considering his purging of the RNC from his cabinet and now this humiliating Obamacare repeal defeat.

Republicans in the Senate will NEVER win if they don't go to a 51 vote majority NOW. They look like fools and are just wasting time......

...they will BOTH say "screw it."

A few of the thoughts tossed around on MSNBC this morning:

1). Republicans "increasingly distancing themselves" from the shit show, especially following the arrival of the Mooch

2). Republicans thinking "we could just get Pence to sign this"

3). IF TrumpCare is dead, he has no further need for Ryan, and Ryan has no need for him

4). "We need to do repeal and replace on ObamaCare before we do tax reform"...of COURSE they did, because that's where they were going to loot $850 billion from Medicaid

What I have said consistently on DU is that Ryan and / or McConnell will flip on Trump the minute they feel that they can't get what they want from him.

We have probably arrived at that point. If Trump keeps insulting Republican "leadership," they won't roll over and slither out the back door like Priebus.
