    Today was a disaster, BUT we too often double down on bad ideas because of sunk costs. Abandonment is an underrated political move.

        So true. Winners never quit? Hardly. Winners know when, where, and how to quit.

        Obama worked on his law more than 10 months before it passed. That's why the ACA is 1) a law and 2) a great law.

        As many of us in the real estate development business have known for years. Trump always thinks he can bluff/con his way out

        Step away, let those who think they won think that & let ACA implode as it inevitably will & hatch better plan as it crumbles.

        Great point...sunk costs are rarely appreciated and understood. Take them out of model. OCare was never sustainable.

        Yes it is smart sometimes. But for Trump it is personal weakness. Politically it shows him as fallible.
