From NBC News:
House Republican leaders abruptly canceled a planned vote on the GOP health care bill Thursday afternoon as they struggled to find sufficient support to pass it. A House GOP leadership aid confirmed to NBC News there would be no vote before Friday.
The move came after House conservatives said there was no deal struck on the bill after a meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House Thursday.
Rep. Mark Meadows R.-N.C., chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, told reporters that there was no deal after the meeting but added he was still hopeful there can be one struck. “I am very hopeful we can find a way to yes,” Meadows said.
I really wondered who was bluffing here – the White House, Spicer and Ryan saying there was going to be no problem at all passing the bill, or the “Freedom Caucus” who said they had enough votes to stop it.
I guess we now know who wears the pants in Congress.
Man, Trump is gonna be schlonged. I mean, angry.
UPDATE:
Trump shrugged…
Trump asked about the delay in House health care vote. He simply shrugged.

Spicer on health care: "We’re not focused on blaming. We’re focused on getting it done and winning.”
