Politics - Trumpcare Dead! - View Post

I think its a bad position for GOP.

They pretty have lost the ability to attack Obamcare sucks as they could not change it.

If the ACA collapses in on itself, which it very well could, the disasterous concequences (far worse than what would have happened had AHCA passed) for all the people that rely on it would definitely return favor to the right who will accuse today's detractors. They'll say their own flawed measure would have prevented total disaster by creating a minor one. I'm certainly not hoping this will happen, but they might be. Withdrawing the measure before the vote is a pretty clear indication that Trump would rather benefit from a disaster tomorrow than suffer a huge embarrassment today.
