House Republican leaders abruptly pulled a rewrite of the
nation’s health-care system from consideration on Friday, a dramatic
defeat for President Trump and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) that
leaves a major campaign promise unfilled and casts doubt on the
Republican Party’s ability to govern.
In addition to
leaving the Affordable Care Act in place, the news also raises questions
about the GOP’s ability to advance other high-stakes agenda items,
including tax reform and infrastructure spending. Ryan is still without a
signature achievement as speaker — and the defeat undermines Trump’s
image as a skilled dealmaker willing to strike compromises to push his
agenda forward.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Trump deflected any responsibility for the setback and blamed Democrats instead.
“We
couldn’t get one Democratic vote and we were a little bit shy, very
little, but it was still a little bit shy so we pulled it,” he said.
“I don’t blame Paul,” Trump said, referring to Ryan.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
