    Trump is reportedly untroubled by the health care failure. This entire thing was almost certainly a bait-and-switchhttp://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-obamacare-future-236490 …

        If passage of the bill was ever a sincere priority for Trump he could've simply delayed the vote by... a week? It doesn't make any sense.

        GOP qualms were resolvable with some basic legislating/compromising. NY delegation had already been mollified. But Trump nuked the process.

        There was something weirdly shambolic and cynical about this entire (arbitrarily expedited) process -- not 100% sure what to make of it yet.

        It's a combination of his general impulsiveness, opportunity to blame Ryan, & a tepid commitment to the bill in the first place

        If he really thought this was a major imperative there are relatively easy steps he could've taken to see it through.

        Petty, backhanded manipulation in service of accruing perceived leverage would be in character for him. But who TF knows

        I doubt pettiness has anything to do with this since the bill was full of entitlements

        I think "moderate" GOPs who defected could've been won over with some basic concessions if they'd just extended it by a week

        Possible some of them saw the disaster that happened to Dems with passing ACA w/o public approval and wouldn't repeat.

        I like Ryan. And I'll like him even better when he gives up on appeasing the populist idiot at 1600 Penn.

        Trump thought they should let Obamacare implode then work on. But GOP swore they were ready. Not so, all talk. So let it implode

        at this point you can almost entirely predict what Trump's real motive is if you just invert MSM's immediate narratives.
