Paul Ryan agreed with Trump that if their replacement bill doesn’t pass, it’s going to be a bloodbath for Republicans in 2018.

I think they’re in deep trouble here. Conservative Republicans don’t like this bill for what seem like pretty good reasons. But Trump is not an ideologue – he doesn’t really care what kind of health system we have, in fact he’s advocated for single payer before. So all he cares about is being able to SAY he repealed Obamacare, not whether the bill actually does it or not. Good luck with that, guys.
