it has been hilarious watching Republican pundits all suddenly remember that they've elected Donald Trump as their President
lookin sharp, Donnie
Please, please move on from repeal and just focus on the tweaks to fix it instead.

Wonder how his base would take it. Probably very well, knowing the mindless drones.
Seen some reports they are just keen to move onto taxes and blame Ryan/McConnell for the failure.
Also need Trump to stop quietly sabotaging the exchanges with stunts like cutting advertising for enrollment by 90%.
Right his loyal subjects will blame everything but Trump.
Also they will say how wonderful he is at making deals even with the enemy.
They will always find a way to twist it.
oh wow
Trump loyalists, who defend whatever he does—and who usually are also people who have long been angry at Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell—have no problem defending this move of Trump’s and seeing it as in line with their own desire to stick it to the latter two, even if it hurts the right’s cause. So they would be eager to see Trump as doing something they want to do in the personal sense—giving the finger to Ryan and McConnell no matter what the issue.
Everyone else, however, should realize that this is what you get when you elect a guy like Trump. I spent the better part of a year documenting a few things that I’ll now review, and I’ll add a few other thoughts as well:
(1) Trump has no reliable coherent conservative philosophy. Everything he does that is conservative is gravy, and I’m grateful for it, but there is no point in relying on him to be conservative. All bets are always off with Trump.
(2) Trump is inconsistent on a lot of things. During the campaign year I called him “mutable,” and that is exactly what he is. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t sometimes do exactly what he said he would do. But you can’t rely on it. In fact, I believe he really really likes to surprise people.
(3) Trump is a New Yorker with a history of liking some big government functions. He knows Schumer quite well. It should be no surprise if he works with him sometimes and gives him what he wants.
(4) Slightly off-topic, but this “mutable” history of Trump’s is especially true of DACA, a topic on which he’s been all over the map but has signaled time and again that he is mostly inclined to go easy on DREAMERS.
(5) Trump’s supporters will rationalize whatever he does.
