Title: 'Art of the Deal' Healthcare Bill Failure a Way to Oust Paul Ryan and Achieve Full Repeal of Obamacare? (Conspiracy Theory)

Today, President Trump pulled the healthcare bill after it fell short of the votes needed to pass. The highly unpopular ‘Ryancare’ replacement of Obamacare left the Republicans divided.

Did Trump give Paul Ryan just enough rope to hang himself? It is no secret that Paul Ryan has contempt for President Trump and is working to sabotage him. This may Trump’s plan to have Paul Ryan ousted and replaced.

It is a mixed bag of emotions today after the Obamacare repeal failed to pass. The replacement, dubbed ‘Ryancare’ was highly unpopular and often referred to as ‘Obamacare 2.0’. Of course we want Obamacare repealed, however; we don’t want another big government solution to replace it. Today’s ‘failure’ may have paved the path to a conservative solution.

Many people are now speculating why Donald Trump seemed to support this unpopular solution. It did fall on Paul Ryan’s shoulders as he gave a press conference afterwards looking very defeated. Calls for his resignation are getting louder and louder.

President Trump knows that with Paul Ryan as House Speaker, he won’t be able to accomplish any of his goals. He knows that Paul Ryan is working against him at every turn. This may have been the perfect set up to have Paul Ryan replaced.

Breitbart also reported on an author who predicted this..

Exactly two weeks ago, this author predicted the defeat of the American Health Care Act – and explained it was a step towards the final, actual deal that will repeal and replace Obamacare.

President Donald Trump faces three irreconcilable factions: the GOP establishment, conservatives, and Democrats. He must bring them together — to “deliver the goods,” a key rule in The Art of the Deal. But first he must show them “the downside” — and convince them they will fail on their own.

So he let them make the first move — and he exposed two things about them: first, that they had not come up with a plan that was ready for prime time; second, that they had not done any of the political legwork necessary to sell their plan to voters.

Trump gave Speaker Paul Ryan and the House Republican leadership enough rope to hang themselves. Instead of dictating terms to him, they will now depend on him to save them, politically. They must accept whatever plan he will put forward.

But Trump will not make the next move. He will let the conservatives move first. They are the big winners in the first round — much more so than the Democrats, who are enjoying the spectacle of Republican dysfunction but have no role to play yet.

The conservatives will proceed with their demand for a full repeal of Obamacare. And then they will face the ire of voters who are deeply unhappy with Obamacare but upset about losing the paltry, expensive health insurance they currently have.

That, too, will strengthen Trump, and convince conservatives they need his leadership.

 


Poster Comment:

Will Trump go for full repeal, by pushing a conservative from the Freedom Caucus for Speaker of the House?


Membership[edit]

Congressional District map for Freedom Caucus membership of the 114th Congress. Former members in light color.

The House Freedom Caucus is "so secretive that it will not disclose the names of its members."[30] In the current (115th) Congress, the group has about three dozen members.[30] A number of members have identified themselves, or have been identified by others, as members of the Freedom Caucus, as of March 2017[update] including:

Ted Poe of Texas[32]

Poe is out.

And Louie Gohmert joined last week and isn't in this list.

Freedom Caucus doesn't have an actual members list. They're much more fellow-travelers.

Yes Poe quit. I blame Wiki for being out of date. It's sort of a secret who's in the FC. They don't provide a members list.


This is the actual caption from the Getty Images page... It doesn't say Gohmert is in specifically, but it seems to imply that he is.

I saw Gohmert on FNC last week, saying directly that he had joined the FC.

I would say that Gohmert, popular as he is in the party, was a major blow to Ryan when he joined up with Jordan's crew. If they knock off Mark Meadows, I'd look for Gohmert to be the next FC leader. He's never been afraid of a fight and they probably can't unseat him in Texas.

Yet we all seem to know their names anyway.

Not having an official members list is an old trick and just one more reason to love the great Freedom Caucus.
